Heroes Square
Hősök tere, meaning Heroes Square in Hungarian, is one of the major square of Budapest, Hungary, rich with historic and political connotations. It lies at the end of Andrássy Avenue (with which it comprises part of an extensive World Heritage site), next to City Park.
The central site of the hero's square, as well as a landmark of Budapest, is the Millennium Memorial (also known as Millennium Monument or Millenary Monument) with statues of the leaders of the seven tribes that founded Hungary in the 9th century and other outstanding figures of Hungarian history (see below). The construction of the memorial was started when the one thousandth anniversary was celebrated (in 1896), but it was finished only in 1900 and the square got its name then.

Old building
Small details of a nice old building in the Buda side of Budapest. This photo reminds me that it's worth looking up to the buildings while walking in the streets of Budapest or wherever you are.

Fresh herbs

Market still life 2.
As I told you earlier, I love walking around markets, talking to farmers about their produce, admiring the colours and smelling the freshness of vegetables, fruits and spices. So don't be surprised if you see many photos on this blog taken at markets.

Candles in the window
A friend of mine had a dinner party and she has these colourful glass candle holders. They give lovely light by night. Do you like candles?

Recipe Journal
I wanted to have a Moleskin Recipe Journal so badly. I was lucky to find one in one of the bookstores in Budapest (in most of the places it was out of stock, even at Moleskin!). Most of the time I wrote recipes on a small piece of paper or on the back of a receipt. Now I can collect all of them in one place.

Western Railway Station in Budapest
This is the Nyugati Palyaudvar, Western Railway Station in Budapest. It is the most important and perhaps most beautiful example of cast-iron architecture in the Hungarian capital. The first trains in Hungary departed from the site of the West Railway Station as early as 1846. It is a terminus comprising two brick side-buildings with brick curtain walls and a glass-roofed hall above the railway tracks at the centre. The platform hall is supported by filigree cast-iron supports, like the ones developed for the Crystal Palace in London. The designs for what at the time was a highly modern construction were produced by the Eiffel firm in Paris. It is well worth taking a look into the interior of the platform hall: everything appears to be as in the old days.
I took this photo of the building on a sunny September afternoon.

Best thing in the afternoon (after work) to drink a creamy cappuccino and to eat a crispy croissant at Sarki Fűszeres, one of my favourite places in Budapest.

Market still life
Love this old scale and the vegetables. So rustic and kind of vintage. Did I tell you that I love going to markets, looking around, talking to farmers? They are so lovely people.

Honey
Organic honey at the biggest organic farmers market in Budapest. The market is open on Saturday mornings between 6:30 am and 1:00 pm.
Address of the market: 1124 Budapest (11th district), Jagelló road 1-3. It's worth to visit.

Delicious dinner
This dinner was cooked by my boyfriend. He is very good at cooking pasta with tomato sauce. He seasons it with onion, garlic, fresh basil, salt, pepper and parmesan. A glass of red wine and the dinner is divine. I think I'm very lucky to have him. :)

Afternoon snack
This was a delicious comforting afternoon snack: crisp baguette, olives, cheese and figs. I think we eat first with our eyes then with our mouth. If I see this photo I want to be at home, drink a nice glass of wine and eat this snack right away.

Sunset from a window
This is my first photo on this blog. It was taken from our window in Budapest.
I decided to take a photo everyday just to show you that the beauty of life is all around us. Walking in the streets, looking out from a window, shopping in a market, reading a good book, drinking a nice cup of cappuccino... and there it is, you can't take your eyes off of it / her / him. Small joyful moments of our life.
So, dear readers, enjoy my journey with me through my eyes!
