maria 7 Posted October 6, 2006 It is a characteristic of Hungarian smaller towns, at least of those where I have been: the pedestrian way in front of the house is configured by the adjacent house owner, and is, hence, different. While in this photo the pavement is not visible, the vegetation is. Sorry for the counterlight. What do you think? Just an image to complete the 'encyclopedy' on Félegyháza or a fair photo? thanks Maria Link to comment
gungajim 75 Posted October 7, 2006 Maria, Thanks for taking the time to document and post the architecture and communities of middle-class, small town Hungry. As with so much "on the go" urban landscape and travel photography, there is often no time to wait for the optimal lighting conditions. Likewise wires, light poles and parked vehicles interfere with capturing the essence of the subject we are trying to photograph. As a result, such photography is often judged harshly by PN raters. However, I feel you have shown us a slice of Hungry that tourists, myself included, never see and thank you for that. GJ PS. Romania is near the top of my list of places I want to go that I haven't been to yet. Hopefully, I'll make in 07 or 08. Link to comment
maria 7 Posted October 7, 2006 Hi, thanks for the comment. Actually I had other reasons than tourism - this is the town where my grandmother was born and I've been there every two years since I was 4 years old. But given the links to the city we always have to rush between paying visits, and so I've done the photos on the way from one friend family to another ... additionally now the birth house is not anymore in our property and we stay at friends/relatives, where I cannot say that I am going to take photos instead of chatting with them after not having seen them for years ... thanks again and glad you like itI can tell you that looking to another small town in Hungary revealed me the difference. kind regardsMaria Link to comment
