It's a wonder when you just sit down and slow your pace of life , you'd see so much more!

#291/365 Pastel

#281/365 To accomplish

Sometimes I think, well, I've shown you most parts of our small town and my "to show list" is getting shorter. But when I took this shot of the tower, I thought...no, I haven't been inside the clock tower and that balcony looking down. Then I recall seeing people on the balcony this summer. Maybe I should find out how to get access there...

#250/365 Postcard

I am like any tourists that buy postcards whenever I visit a new place for keep sakes and as mementos. As a photographer (amateur!), I'll admit that taking postcard shots is not favourite way of conveying my subjects. However, for this blog, I do realise it is important to show you a bigger picture.

In picture, the Great Roman Catholic church, which is situated on the main square. In summer, you see water fountain and people just relaxing around it.

#209/365 Liverpool Suzuki Violin Tour to Hungary 2013

Liverpool Suzuki Violin Group is touring Hungary, and our town is their 4th stop. What a privilege is has been to have listened to them. Thank you Liverpool Suzuki Violinists and please visit us again! :)

# 208/365 Liverpool Suzuki Violin Tour to Hungary 2013

As city daily photo blogger, we always have to keep an eye for on-goings and events around the town. Just 2 hours ago we attended a concert given by the talented Liverpool Suzuki Violin Group. The above was when the group of young to adults violinists enter the Great Roman Catholic Church.

Tomorrow we'll continue with the performance of this group.

#157/365 Corpus Christi, finale

I entered the church full of enthusiasm, leaving my husband behind (I usually disappeared fast when I find photographic opportunities) . But then I hesitated. I was tempted to stay longer, to go further in, to explore, and even the church keeper (is that the correct title?) gestured me to go ahead to take more photos, if I wish to. I stopped here, didn't want to disturb the people deep into their prayers..so long Great Roman Catholic Church, until the next time!

#156/365 Corpus Christi, there're more

We walk around to check out the rest of the intricate flower decorations (see yesterday), and then I saw something which only happen on special occasions, the Great Roman Catholic Church's doors were "wide open" literally. I use quotation on "wide open" because obviously they are open to public always, but the doors are normally closed to insulate from outside temperature. And so, when the doors are shut, I never have the guts to walk in. But but now..woohoo..I'm going in!

#155/365 Corpus Christi continued

Continuing from yesterday's post, by the evening, we could see the result of hard work from volunteers of Magyar Máltai Szeretetszolgálat (Maltese Charity Service)...

#154/365 Corpus Christi

Volunteers of Magyar Máltai Szeretetszolgálat (Maltese Charity Service) devoting their talents on flowers decoration yesterday, Corpus Christi day. Tomorrow we'll take a look at the finished decoration.

#13/365 Church goers

Do you go to church on Sundays? 

The main entrance of the Great Roman Catholic church is busiest on Sundays. At 10 am, you will normally see a crowd at the front of the church

According to this survey , Hungary is no. 27 in church attendance.

#7/365 Close up

 
Whenever the weather is spring-like, just like what we experienced the last 2 days, it gives a lot more photo opportunities to capture details that you may otherwise wouldn't have been able to.

In this instance, I saw the beautiful light in the late afternoon from my window. I could see the tip of the tower was shining and was excited to capture the moment. And then, when I enlarge the photo later, I was surprised at how wonderful the details on the tower are.

Santa Claus came to town

clock stuck 4 o'clock

Time to meet the fans!

Nearly there...

phew..made it!

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.
