  • The Hal·szb·stya or Fisherman's Bastion is a terrace in neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque style situated on the Buda bank of the Danube, on the Castle hill in Budapest, around Matthias Church. It was designed and built between 1895 and 1902 on the plans of Frigyes Schulek. Between 1947-48, the son of Frigyes Schulek, J·nos Schulek, conducted the other restoration project after its near destruction during World War II.

  • Buda Castle (Hungarian: Budavári Palota) is the historical castle complex of the Hungarian kings in Budapest, Hungary, first completed in 1265. <br />
<br />
In the past, it was also called Royal Palace (Hungarian: Királyi-palota) and Royal Castle (Hungarian: Királyi Vár).<br />
<br />
Buda Castle was built on the southern tip of Castle Hill, surrounded by what is known as the Castle District (Hun: Várnegyed), famous for its Medieval, Baroque and 19th century living quarters and public buildings. It is linked to Adam Clark Square and the Széchenyi Chain Bridge by the Castle Hill Funicular.<br />

  • Hungary is known for its charming countryside with rolling hills and quaint villages. As I was working on COUNTRYSIDE VILLAGE I was reminded that a scene such as this can evoke the imagination. It can speak thousands of words. The creation of atmosphere, perhaps of a children’s book.<br />
<br />
Children’s books often draw inspiration from real-world landscapes to create magical and timeless settings. This hilltop village could serve as a delightful backdrop for a story featuring curious characters, hidden secrets, and heartwarming moments.

  • Captured in the Hungarian countryside outside of Budapest 2003... I can't recall where. Captured with a Nikon E5000. An early model digital camera; it had a 5 megapixel sensor.<br />
<br />
I’d been traveling all over Hungary touring wineries when this scene was captured. The country was experiencing a heatwave. We kept our fingers crossed in hopes our vehicle wouldn’t overheat.<br />
<br />
With a chilly autumn now here in Northern Ontario (Canada) DOCKED CANOES IN THE HUNGARIAN COUNTRYSIDE is a nice send-off to summer.

  • Hungary is probably the most well known wine country in Eastern Europe for two reasons - Tokaji and Bull's Blood. <br />
<br />
Tokaji is a very sweet wine that was prized by the Russian Tsars, made in an oxidized manner similar to Sherry. <br />
<br />
Egri Bikaver, or "Bull's Blood" is a wine of legend. As the story goes, back in 1552 the Eger fortress was under attack, and the defenders were badly outnumbered. To fortify themselves and give themselves courage, they drank the local red wine in large amounts, and the wine spilled on them while they did so. When the attackers saw the men running towards them with red liquid all down their chests, they thought the locals had been drinking bull's blood, and they fled in terror.

  • Agriculture is important to Hungary's economy. Hungary produces wheat, corn, sunflower, potatoes, sugar beets, pigs, cattle, poultry, and dairy products.<br />
<br />
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is in the family of Asteraceae. It has a strong central root system and several rich side roots. Its stalk is strong and depending on the type it is 1.5-2.5 metres tall. <br />
<br />
Sunflower is the one of the most important industrial crops in Hungary and has the highest annual production in the group of oil plants. The oil produced from sunflower is mainly used for food purposes, but is also an important raw material for margarine and soap manufacturing. The by-product arising after cold pressing is rich in proteins and is used as an animal feed. The sunflower ‘leftovers’ are important green fertilizers and feeding materials.
