The Weekend in Black and White

This beautiful old stairway is in Budapest.
Re the "writing on the wall"—György Dözsa
was a 13th/14th-century soldier of fortune who led
a revolution against the landed nobility.  As has
often been the case in Hungary, things
did not end well for Dözsa and his followers.

    A very striking image, perfect for black and white.

    Wow. From Film Noir a few days ago to its predecessor German Expressionism. Of course film but also architecture as at Rudolph Steiner’s Second Goetheanum.


    So what do you call a mosquito plaguing someone like this guy?




    A Buddha pest.

    Love the shapes and the light on this stairway. Thank you for the translation and explanation. Wouldn't have known otherwise.
