DAILY PHOTO: Széchenyi Tér in Pécs
Taken in December of 2014 in Pécs
The photo above and the photo below were taken at almost the same time (around dusk), but with some adjustments to the manual settings. (You can see the time continuity in the clouds above the hotel in the right half of the photo.) What a difference a few clicks make.

DAILY PHOTO: Mosque of Pasha Qasim: Color and Monochrome
Taken December 31, 2014 in Pécs
I’m back from Hungary with a load of photos to share. Here’s the first installment.
This building is also–and currently–known as the Downtown Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and in the intervening period was known as St. Bartholomew’s Church. It’s located on Széchenyi Tér in downtown Pécs. It was built as a mosque in the latter half of the 16th century under Ottoman control, but was converted to a Roman Catholic Church when the Turks were defeated. There are several such re-purposed mosques in the area, but this one has been said to be the best example of Turkish architecture in Hungary.

TODAY’S PHOTO: Roadside Cambodia
This is Cambodia
Traveling cross-country through Cambodia at the end of the wet season, the road seems to be just the Mac-daddy paddy dike, and the rest of the country is a flooded rice paddy. What once was jungle is now solitary trees, often palms, jutting out of a verdant sea. Farmers fish waist deep, casting nets, as emaciated oxen cool their bellies. Everyone lives and dies by water.

DAILY PHOTO: Danube Bank in Budapest, Hungary
The steeple is Matthias Church in the Castle District
The Danube River flows through the middle of Budapest. Budapest was originally two cities that grew together. The hilly west bank (seen here) was Buda, and the flat east bank was Pest. High in the background one can see such tourist attractions as the Fisherman’s Bastion and Matthias Church.
