Lakes of Tata and Bokod

This time we travel back in time a bit, back to the holiday in the beginning of October. I already told you stories about Badacsony and Sümeg but I didn't show you the third chapter of that short vacation. After our 3 days of spa we left Sümeg and started our way back to Budapest. We decided to have a longer trip and check two places I wanted to show to Aniuta for a long time already.

Fall of 2015 is here

Today we had a small walk at Normafa, which is a popular place to get out of the city center here in Budapest. It got the name after a really old tree which was planted by a king long long time ago... well, the tree is not there anymore but the view is amazing especially if the air is as clear as it was today. It also provides lots of opportunities for families to hang out, for kids to play, for people to run or biking, during winter you also can skiing here on a very short slope.

Back to Budapest: Children's railway

We had a 4 days long holiday here in Budapest because of 20th of August which is our 'Foundation of the State' celebration like 4th of July in the U.S. If you visit Budapest around this date don't forget to check the fireworks at 9 pm on the bank of Danube, it's quite spectacular.

So back to our holiday and free time and a small break out of the city into the surrounding hills more specifically to Hűvösvölgy and the Children's railway.

1 photo 1 story: The garden of bokeh

Well, it seems that I can not play accodring to the rules... there are too many photos I made in Moldova and I want to share most of them with you. Therefore the one photo rule is suspended for a while...

And now back to the post. In Chisinau we have visited the botanic garden on a warm (very hot) afternoon. While Aniuta and her friend were discussing their things I was walking around the area...

1 photo 1 story: summer heat

Since I was taking photos in Moldova during my last trip, the next few posts will contain pictures from the numerous shots I've made there.

This one was made in Transnistria. An interesting part of the country, where you can feel that the time got slower 20 years ago and everything is way much calmer.

Transnistria means "Over the river Dnester" and the people of this territory want to get independent from Moldova... Imagine that you have to bring your passport with you if you'd like to visit your relatives there although oficially you are not leaving the country.

I took the photo on the bank of the river after we swimmed in the cold water. The grass was greenish-yellowish from the sun, the trees were deep green and the water was clean and blue. There were some white puffy clouds on the sky and you could hear the noise of the bugs around you in the warm summer afternoon.

Spring lights

Let me show you the magical lights of a spring afternoon:

Grey October

The sun was shining so bright on Sunday that it would be a crime to stay home and sit on the sofa. So I called a Friend of mine, Irma to grab her camera and invited her to a photowalk.

We met at Újpest-Városkapu and walked to Népsziget. Until we reached the island through the not used train bridge all of the lights were gone, everything was gray and plain which made our photo shooting a bit harder. I would like to collect more colorful autumn photo but I had no chance…

Phil and Rasputin – still-life from Margaret island

I’m on holiday. It feels very good, don’t really remember when was the last time I did nothing… especially for almost two weeks… A long time ago… So, I’m on my holiday and I have decided to take as many photos in this period as many I just can. I started it on Monday after we bought our morning coffee at Mad Dog Café. By the way IF you like fabulous coffee, cozy places and the friendliest service it is highly recommended to you to visit it!

I entered the island from north on Árpád-bridge because the renovated music fountain and Japanese garden were the most interesting to me.
