Aerial Photos of My Nondescript Village
I have often referred to the small village I inhabit in northwestern Hungary near the Austrian border as nondescript, which, in many ways, it is.
All the same, the place possesses a certain charm, particularly when seen from the air against the backdrop of The Little Hungarian Plain, an area of flatland characteristic of this region. I stumbled upon these aerial photos of Fertőendréd taken by a chap called Ferenc Holper back in 2007.
Flat though this region may be, Fertőendréd's residents are privy to remarkable views when they gaze west.
There, stretching out the horizon are the rolling highlands around nearby Sopron and behind those towers the Schneeberg -- the last and most eastern Alpine mountain.
For reasons I cannot fathom, the photographer appears to have showed no interest in looking west and incorporating these prominent background landscape features into his aerial photos.
Or maybe he tried, but the day was not clear enough?
