Varga Imrea created this statue-group in 1986 with the title “People Waiting” (in Hungarian it is “Várakozók” ) I rather like to call them the ‘Umbrella Ladies’:) And seriously, if you search ‘umbrella’ or ‘Obuda’, you can find images of these ladies surrounded in different colours of flowers depending on the different seasons with information better than ‘people waiting’;) it is this famous somehow.
So this was found in Óbuda (Old Buda), it is the oldest part of Budapest situated on the right bank of the Danube. The District III. which lies on the ruins of the huge, ancient military camp of Roman legionaries called Acquincum, the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire in continental Europe. Consequently, several amphitheatres and artifacts have been unearthed here. Óbuda was inhabited mostly by german-speaking Swabian farmers.
I didn’t see its village-like atmosphere on this day, because it was totally foggy when I was there. Plus, I tried many different angles and perspectives to take all four ladies (it was a very interesting process) but somehow I am not satisfied with the result on the photos. Hence, I made a video for all of you and now you can experience how it was like to be beside ‘her’ or rather these ‘Four Umbrella Ladies’:)
