DAILY PHOTO: Not a Good Look, Mr. Nimoy

This photo was taken on the Palace grounds in Budapest’s castle district. I’m pretty sure I took the photo because the little statuette looks a bit like Leonard Nimoy wearing jeans, a Catholic schoolgirl skirt, and a gaudy hipster medallion. I’m sure that it’s not meant to be Leonard Nimoy, but rather some prince in Hungary’s long history.

Seriously?  Well, at least it’s a small flaming ball on the side.

This was home to Prince Nikolaus Esterházy.

It’s located in a town called Fertőd that’s west of Budapest and southeast of Vienna. Taking a small detour, it’s on the way between Budapest and Vienna. One can team it with a trip to Sopron.

It has apparently been radically refurbished since this 17-year-old pic. They ditched the orange-yellow and toned down the monstrous bushes.

It gives one a nice little taste of lifestyles of the rich and famous–19th century style.
