DAILY PHOTO: Church of Thanksgiving by Night
Taken in July of 2011 in Budapest.
The inscription on the church reading “Soli Deo Gloria” means “glory to God alone.” That might have been patently obvious to you, but I will admit that I had to look it up.

DAILY PHOTO: Living in the Past
Take in the summer of 2011 in Hungary.
These were taken at a homestead restoration in Western Hungary in the area called the Őrség. This is how one might have lived in the late 18th century.

DAILY PHOTO: Not a Good Look, Mr. Nimoy
Taken in summer of 2011 in Budapest
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.

DAILY PHOTO: Esterháza
Taken in 1996 in Fertőd, Hungary.
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.
