Budapest, 1974: A sign of things to come. This is a metal detector and an early example of airport security at Budapest's main airport. The airport back then was called Ferihegy, but as is so often the case in Hungary, it has now been renamed— this time to Ferenc Liszt Airport.

1960. Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. One for the history buffs. Hungarian leader János Kádár playing shuffleboard on the Soviet passenger liner Balitka on his way to the US for the XVth session of the UN General Assembly. That's Nikta Khrushchev on the right, and possibly, Alexei Kosygin of the left.

Budapest, 1966. A moment in time, a glance, captured on the suburban train that goes to and from the island of Csepel on the southern outskirts of Budapest.
Csepel was a staunchly working class part of the the capital and is as far from the tourist image of Budapest as you can get. That suburban train still goes back and forth to and from Csepel everyday just as in this photo.
