You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Little Psalm whom I baptized last year on the rez was admitted to the hospital with rhinovirus and pneumonia. He just turned one last week. Keep him in your prayers, y’all.

Trying out #cyanotype. I thought this would be a perfect photo for this, since it already looks quite vintage.

It’s always been a Friars Minor church.
The Caps were 2000 ft down the road at Széchenyi tér 3. Joseph II banned many religious orders, including Caps, in 1782. After his death Brothers Hospitallers of Saint John of God moved in. They seem to be gone now too.
I love rabbit holes like this.
