Nice to look at

Images of important landmarks of the town adorn the walls of this pedestrian way. What a great idea to decorate the space ! :)

Kodály school II

Seen at the Kodály school's campus some time back. You can here music flowing out of the wall due to the student rehearsal :)

Graffiti weekend

I was on my way for some shopping when i stumbled upon this graffiti.

It made me stopped and admire for a minute :)

Art on sale

You can find small and medium art galleries around town such as the one above. However, I noticed that there are more classical than modern contemporary art on sale.

Kodály school

One fine day at Kodály school.

Gorgeous!

Gorgeous building, isn't it? look at that Juliet balcony and olive green, simply love it! :)

Graffiti weekend

I have a love / hate relationship with graffiti. More love actually especially when I find something as creative as this.

Update : Dec 19, 2012 - this graffiti is no longer...

Autumn colours

Early autumn to me offers some interesting colours and photo opportunities. I definitely prefer it to summer (apart from the change of clothing, that is :)

Happy

Happy not only 'cos of the rainbow but 'cos of the cooling rain !

In this heat

In this heat, with no budget for vacation?

Go to the town square cool it off with a game of chess :)

Dawn

view out from our window. FYI, the other flat buildings surrounding this view has been cropped ;)

Csiperó 2008 - closing ceremony

The photos of the closing ceremony didn't turn out good. The following are my favourites :)

Csiperó 2008

I was told Csiperó is a type of bird species. Well, am too lazy to verify that ..haha.

Right now, Kecskemét is hosting Csiperó 2008 - 10th Future of Europe International Children and Youth Meeting. Read more about the history of the association here .

Between June 6-13 , 2008 , there are hive of activities and performances by participating countries around the town of Kecskemét. Check out the programmes schedule on the same link given above !

The following are some shots taken during the few times I managed to catch some street shows...

Flags of partipating countries. I do like the added colours to this church. 

Backstage. Look at the different expressions on these faces. Some of them were waiting to perform.

Like those costumes !

More of the same costume ;)

French brass band performing at the pedestrian. They began with tunes from the James Bond series...very cool !

On the other side while the brass band was playing, this non-mechanical rocking "boat" was entertaining those who 're not afraid of motion sickness !

Then this high wheel bicycle rode by...wow ! so many things happening at once !

Hopefully i'll be posting more from this event. Perhaps the laser show and fireworks from the closing ceremony ..they'd be nice :)

Unexpected

Thanks to May / June wedding season, we chanced upon this Roman Catholic church (located at town square) was wide open before a wedding ceremony. I think there are certain hours that allow tourists into this church. Since we haven't had the opportunity to do so yet, it was really a lovely surprise!

Background
The painitng seen in the church span several centuries. The painitng of the high altar was painted by Ferenc József Falkoner in 1793. The frescos of the arches were made my Ignác Roskovics between 1900 and 1903.
