<p>Black and white film photograph shot at the 2026 Festival of Folk Arts in Buda Castle, Budapest. <br />
Captured on a Canon EOS 500N with a Canon EF Ultrasonic 28–80mm lens, using Fomapan 200. <br />
The film was home‑developed in Adonal (Rodinal) and digitized with a Samsung NX300 MILC in front of a LED panel. <br />
<br />
The scene reflects the raw, documentary atmosphere of the festival: a single figure standing within the flow of the crowd, surrounded by movement, craft, and celebration. <br />
The classic grain and cold tonal character of Fomapan 200 emphasize the honest, unpolished nature of the moment — a quiet pause inside a vibrant traditional event.</p>

<p>MOL Campus, a neomodern skyscraper, is the headquarters of the Hungarian oil and gas company, MOL Group, in Budapest, Hungary. The building's construction was overseen by the architectural firm Foster + Partners, who were commissioned to develop the detailed designs for the project.

<p>🇫🇷 La coupole est ronde et richement ornée de mosaïques colorées, créées par le peintre hongrois Karoly Lotz .Autour du médaillon central représentant Dieu le Père , les cercles concentriques présentent des figures de saints ainsi que des scènes religieuses .<br />
La construction de la basilique a commencé en 1851, suivant les plans de József Hild, initialement néo-classique. Après sa mort, Miklós Ybl prend la direction des travaux en 1867 et lui donna une coupole néo-Renaissance après l'effondrement de celle d'origine en 1868. Sa conception inspirée de la Renaissance, s'harmonisait bien avec les plans initiaux conçus dans un style néoclassique<br />
Un troisième architecte travailla aussi à sa réalisation. Il s'agit de Jozsef Kauser, qui acheva, en 1905, les travaux de construction commencés 54 ans plus tôt....<br />
Le dôme a une enveloppe extérieure qui constitue le dôme visible de l'extérieur .On peut y accéder depuis l'entrée<br />
¤ soit de l'escalier 302 marches accès la terrasse intermédiaire puis une quarantaine de marches ...si on veut allerr tout en haut.<br />
¤¤ soit de l'ascenseur et il reste une quarantaine de marches pour accéder à une petite terrasse extérieure circulaire, pour profiter d'une vision sur 360° sur la ville.( photos à suivre prochainement)<br />
<br />
🇬🇧 The dome is round and richly decorated with colourful mosaics, created by the Hungarian painter Károly Lotz. Around the central medallion depicting God the Father, the concentric circles feature figures of saints as well as religious scenes.<br />
Construction of the basilica began in 1851, based on József Hild’s plans, which were initially in the Neoclassical style. Following his death, Miklós Ybl took charge of the work in 1867 and designed a Neo-Renaissance dome after the original one collapsed in 1868. His Renaissance-inspired design harmonised well with the initial plans, which had been drawn up in a neoclassical style.<br />
A third architect also worked on its completion: József Kauser, who, in 1905, finished the construction work that had begun 54 years earlier....<br />
The dome has an outer shell which forms the dome visible from the outside. It can be accessed from the entrance<br />
¤ either via the staircase with 302 steps leading to the intermediate terrace, then around forty steps ...if you wish to go right to the top.<br />
¤¤ or via the lift, after which there are still around forty steps to reach a small circular outdoor terrace, from which to enjoy a 360° view of the city. (Photos to follow shortly)<br />
<br />
🇩🇪 Die Kuppel ist rund und reich mit farbenprächtigen Mosaiken verziert, die vom ungarischen Maler Károly Lotz geschaffen wurden. Um das zentrale Medaillon, das Gott den Vater darstellt, sind in konzentrischen Kreisen Heiligenfiguren sowie religiöse Szenen zu sehen.<br />
Der Bau der Basilika begann 1851 nach den ursprünglich neoklassizistischen Plänen von József Hild. Nach dessen Tod übernahm Miklós Ybl 1867 die Leitung der Arbeiten und versah das Bauwerk nach dem Einsturz der ursprünglichen Kuppel im Jahr 1868 mit einer Kuppel im Neorenaissance-Stil. Sein von der Renaissance inspirierter Entwurf harmonierte gut mit den ursprünglichen Plänen im neoklassizistischen Stil.<br />
Ein dritter Architekt war ebenfalls an der Umsetzung beteiligt. Es handelte sich um József Kauser, der 1905 die 54 Jahre zuvor begonnenen Bauarbeiten abschloss....<br />
Die Kuppel verfügt über eine Außenhülle, die die von außen sichtbare Kuppel bildet. Der Zugang erfolgt über den Eingang<br />
¤ entweder über die Treppe mit 302 Stufen, die zur Zwischenterrasse führt, und dann über etwa vierzig Stufen …, wenn man ganz nach oben möchte.<br />
¤¤ oder über den Aufzug, wobei noch etwa vierzig Stufen zu einer kleinen, runden Außenterrasse führen, von der aus man einen 360°-Blick auf die Stadt genießen kann. (Fotos folgen in Kürze)<br />

🇪🇸 La cúpula es redonda y está ricamente decorada con mosaicos de colores, obra del pintor húngaro Karoly Lotz. Alrededor del medallón central, que representa a Dios Padre, los círculos concéntricos muestran figuras de santos, así como escenas religiosas.<br />
La construcción de la basílica comenzó en 1851, siguiendo los planos de József Hild, inicialmente de estilo neoclásico. Tras su muerte, Miklós Ybl asumió la dirección de las obras en 1867 y le dotó de una cúpula neorrenacentista tras el derrumbe de la original en 1868. Su diseño, inspirado en el Renacimiento, armonizaba bien con los planos iniciales concebidos en estilo neoclásico.<br />
Un tercer arquitecto trabajó también en su realización. Se trata de József Kauser, quien, en 1905, culminó las obras de construcción iniciadas 54 años antes...<br />
La cúpula tiene una cubierta exterior que constituye la cúpula visible desde el exterior. Se puede acceder a ella desde la entrada<br />
¤ o bien por la escalera de 302 peldaños que da acceso a la terraza intermedia y, a continuación, unos cuarenta peldaños más... si se quiere subir hasta lo más alto.<br />
¤¤ o bien por el ascensor, y quedan unos cuarenta escalones para acceder a una pequeña terraza exterior circular, desde donde se puede disfrutar de una vista de 360° de la ciudad. (Fotos próximamente)<br />

🇮🇹 La cupola è rotonda e riccamente decorata con mosaici colorati, realizzati dal pittore ungherese Karoly Lotz. Intorno al medaglione centrale raffigurante Dio Padre, i cerchi concentrici presentano figure di santi e scene religiose.<br />
La costruzione della basilica iniziò nel 1851, secondo i progetti di József Hild, inizialmente in stile neoclassico. Dopo la sua morte, Miklós Ybl assunse la direzione dei lavori nel 1867 e le conferì una cupola neorinascimentale in seguito al crollo di quella originaria nel 1868. Il suo progetto, ispirato al Rinascimento, si armonizzava bene con i progetti iniziali concepiti in stile neoclassico.<br />
Alla sua realizzazione contribuì anche un terzo architetto: József Kauser, che nel 1905 portò a termine i lavori di costruzione iniziati 54 anni prima...<br />
La cupola presenta un involucro esterno che costituisce la cupola visibile dall’esterno. Vi si può accedere dall’ingresso<br />
¤ o tramite la scala di 302 gradini che porta alla terrazza intermedia e poi una quarantina di gradini ...se si vuole arrivare fino in cima.<br />
¤¤ oppure tramite l’ascensore, dopodiché restano una quarantina di gradini per raggiungere una piccola terrazza esterna circolare, da cui godere di una vista a 360° sulla città. (foto in arrivo a breve)</p>
