Kiskirálylány
A statue of little Princess (Kiskirálylány) sitting on the railings of the Danube promenade in Budapest is modeled after the eldest daughter, Évike, of the scuruptore, László Marton (1925–2008). It became a symbol of Budapest since its foundation in 1990.
"Évike, aged around 6, played in a little princess costume by pretending her bathrobe as cloak and a hat László made from newspaper as crown", László said in 2007.

Foggy Christmas
It is not a white Christmas in Olomouc this year, fortunately. Rather it was foggy all day.
Merry Christmas.
Wishing all of you a Happy New Year 2023!

Liberty Square in Budapest
As you are already aware, I, too, am impressed at the image quality taken by a smartphone with small sensor size and lenses. To compensate for these cons, the image processing is rad. This reminds me of the human eye and brain. Unlike camera lenses with dozen of various types of lenses, only one lens is equipped in our eye and the brain processes the visible spectrum of light (colors) with a wide dynamic range.
Almost no post-processing procedure is required. No wonder nobody wants to carry camera gadgets for taking photos. The only advantages of the camera are night photography and a better resolution, I guess but I am afraid it's just a matter of time before the smartphone camera to overcome...
