Hungary, 1964
The Dinner Ladies was an all too short British sitcom created by the wonderful Victoria Wood. There were only 16 episodes but each one was perfectly set and executed. This photo reminds me very much of that series!

Paks, 1979
Workers on the construction of Hungary's only nuclear power plant located in the town of Paks on the Danube river, some 120 kilometres south of Budapest. The plant is about to be shut down for the first time its 44 year history due to low river levels, meaning there isn't enough water to cool the reactors.

Hungary, 1970. Saturday night is partying night. This seems a typical party for those of a certain age in Hungary. Lots of alcohol, probably pálinka (fruit brandy), and if you were lucky, a live Roma violinist. They would sing the old songs known as "magyar nóta", a variety of sugary, sentimental songs about romance and the old days, all infused with a very Hungarian sense of melancholy and emotion. Similar perhaps to Fado music in Portugal, or Chanson in France, especially in the sense of music being tied to national identity.

Vác,1960. Hungary's only triumphal arch, built in 1764 in honour of the visit by the Habsburg Maria Theresa who was at that time was the queen of Hungary. The story goes that the arch was so newly built when she arrived that, fearing it might collapse, she refused to ride through it.
The car in the photo is an East German AWZ P70 "Zwickau".
