In the shadow

In the shadow of Buda castle facing the Danube and the Parliament.

When I am in Budapest there are so many things to photograph and I love it. I love the beauty as well as all what has suffered from hard times. Lots of places are now being restored after the destructed communist time. I think Budapest is the most beautiful and friendly city in Europe. It is also very well taking cared of.
Only one thing I don’t like and that is all the bad graffiti on walls, monuments and other art work. It is so out of respect for other people and culture. It is really sad.

Preparing for the wine festival in the castle area. The wine festival starts on Wednesday. The house in the bg is the President’s office.

On the way down from the castle area you find this graffiti shame.

We are going to pass over the beautiful Chain Bridge to Pest side. Our flat is just behind the great St Stephan Cathedral.

I Rött hjärta Budapest and go here as often as I can.

Who doesn’t love

… goat cheese? In any form and design. A little honey on top and a glass of red wine ..
Bought this in a cheese & sausage market event.

Here I used a bit of lens distortion here and two layers. I piece of the label is original and the rest has a filter.

Do you like goat cheese?

After I read Lisa’s Creative Exchange I recognised myself very much and decided to add these two pictures. I like them in b&w – there are always two sides of everything …

Finding a place to sleep … Opera sleep.

I hope it isnt what I think it is …

To be human

Beautiful words from H E Dalai Lama

“The goal is to cultivate in our hearts the concern a dedicated mother feels for her child, and then focus it on more and more people and living beings. This is a heartfelt, powerful love. Such feelings give us a true understanding of human rights, that is not grounded just in legal terms, but rooted deeply in the heart.” Dalai Lama

Terrorists and occupiars have a lot of cultivating to do!

Photo from the 20th August when Hungary are celebrating … their freedom, their flag ….

No longer any bars …

Just grab the door knob and open up for freedom …

That is to be human as I see it …

Wishing all of you the very best!

I like to test filters and here I have used at least 3 different on the same layer. The original you can find on my Macro Monday entry here.

I usually make one entry for each challenge but today and this week I have my grandsons here so the time for blogging is not very long :)

UTSNITT – I cut out a sections of my photos. I like to do so because I love the details and don’t want to miss them when downscaling.

Above cut out of below and also turned.

Below cut out of above.

This last butterfly for today is a small one.

I used my macro lense today.

I especially like to study the eyes, legs, horns in the forehead and their “straw”. Of course also the pattern and colours. The last one has fringe around the wings.
I never stop being amazed about the creation in nature.

My and the boys’ feet.

Our feet are 72 years together.
