We have arrived in Budapest and are getting settled in our splendid new house. The owners are marvelous people and their house is really beautiful. But ½ a block away is a truly enormous apartment block surrounded by more large apartment blocks. And beyond this is a big, nice shopping center with Tesco, McDonalds, Starbucks, H&M, etc. all within walking distance.
But these apartment blocks are impressive and oppressive. There is such a Soviet era quality to them I took a few images to try to pass along the impression they make. There are all long exposures to erase the people (except for those standing pretty still) and the traffic (almost completely). I thought the juxtaposition of buildings full of people with streets without any would make a good contrast.
