Yarn storming

How "knit" is this?!  A couple of trees at Kiss Balint Street were being adorned with knitted or crocheted yarn.

Considered a type of street art / graffiti, "yarn storming was initially almost exclusively about reclaiming and personalizing sterile or cold public places" ~ Wiki

Internation Free Hug day

Despite the photo being rubbish, I am (re)posting 'cos today is International Free Hug Day.

I posted on the same event before but with a different photo here

Best wishes

July 24th was their 5th Anniversary! I have no idea why this photo has been sitting in my archive for this long...
Anyway, that was my first sighting of newly weds on carriage ride and I understand that this is a tradition of the Roma people.

Sharing

A statue that also functions as bird bath!
What I love are the details and almost monotone of this shot :)

You can see the top of the statue in this link :-

Old & New

I much prefer the character and details of the old building.

Walk in the snow

Photo points

We found this stenciled sign on various pavements of the town. You can find all 43 signs spread around tourist spots. They're created to help tourists capture picture perfect photos of the sights they visited. I like this idea a lot!

Heart shaped Confetti

what's left behind after a wedding reception at the town conference hall :)

All smiles

Hare Krishna followers passing while playing some music at the main square and the Bulgarian waterpolo players couldn't resist requesting a photo session. Me.... snapped+happy!

Restoration Update #3

Theatre goers gathering outside the town's theatre, making the streets much livelier yesterday afternoon. The crowd grew bigger later..I wonder which play is on?

The last news I heard was this row of structure is due to be renewed (it is slowly falling apart!), except that no developer has shown interests in undertaking the project. Oh, come on! surely someone can think of some bright idea to turn this into a place of interests.

Quiet morning

Someone once commented that he dislike the plastic blades on the balconies..erm, I feel the same. But when the sun shines on it, for short moment, you see why the architect had used the material in that era. Happy weekend everyone!

Continuing on the theme of Architecture at my other blog, you may see more architecture photos of our beautiful capital, Budapest- here.

Ps. Cooking day for me...have to go, read your blogs later :)

Street scene today 14:14pm

"Hey, in reality everyday is women's day, when is Men's day?" - Mr. B

That was what my better half asked during dinner awhile ago..hahahaha. Whatever it is, its a wonderful day to give extra attention to the women in your life. Okay, I don't deny that men do deserve to be given a day of appreciation as well :) Happy women's day to you!

ps. am late! will read your blog in a bit as the internet is slow as snail !

The daily question

what to cook today? Asking that question everyday can cause headaches!
The man in the photo found a solution :- get his lunch catered. All he needs to do is pick up his lunch (in food carrier) at the restaurant/caterer. A meal of soup and main dish cost about 2 Euros..convenient and economical.

Alternatively, like our clever neighbour who simply copies the daily menu (displayed outside restaurant) and cook it herself at home ;)

What about you?

Progress?

I bet you , you didn't know how many traffic lights are there in your city/town! well, me neither, until last night. I was told that the only place that's equiped with the lights is at the cross junction and so I counted them in my head = 8 traffic lights for the whole town!!

The news is, soon the lights might go and replaced with a round-about due to the low traffic flow; however, it is still in proposal stage. Personally, I think the move would be a step backward ...

Nit-picking

We're off the centre of the town, where residential houses are concentrated. Walking along these parts, I could expect horses making "star" appearances :D also, to appreciate the individually-designed houses. You'll never find any identical design. Being me, I nit-pick :p ..well, its pretty obvious , what I dislike most about this area is the conditions of the roads, as seen here they are uneven. Some other parts not even paved! So, roads are dusty, worst when come rainy season, messy & muddy. Perhaps there're plans to fix it, I don't know ; however, I sure hope the improvement happens soon.

3-2-1

The only street vendor at the main road selling party supplies for new year's eve. The essentials to celebrate good time?

Another day as DP blogger...

I'm reporting from the central part of the town. Fine morning, it was. Wonderful sun shinning. Things are still pretty quiet, as you can see. In this photo this man seems to me is standing in the middle of the street, paused in time...don't you think?
hehe, i think i'm watching too many tv fiction, Heroes .

Rush hour II

Rush, rush, rush at the bus terminal
