Dutch Still Life
The Grand Hotel Huis Ter Duin, in Noordwijk Aan Zee, the Netherlands, is situated on the coastline with miles of sandy dunes in either direction and the North Sea spread out as far as the eye can see. It's a favorite stretch of beach for windsurfers and parasailers, and, as this picture demonstrates, for seagulls.

Capitalist Payback: Budapest's Statue Park
Photo Essay written 22 December 2007
In the suburbs of Budapest, a surreal collection of monumental soviet-era statues atone for the sins of communism by generating tourist dollars and euros.
First and Last Glimpse
The first (and last) view of Statue Park, from the Volan bus stop across the street, is a glimpse of Stalin's boots surrounded by the evidence of Hungary's now capitalist economy. The park itself is to the left of this image, outside the frame.

Stalin's Boots
Viewed from inside Statue Park. The metal plaque at center bears the name of victims of the '56 insurrection by nationalist Hungarians, which was put down by soviet forces.
