The Golden Years (Weekend Street/Reflections # 183)

 Budapest, Hungary

I was rushing around looking for the next picture to take while this couple was peacefully enjoying the view. It was a reminder to me to slow down and live in the moment.

“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.” ― Henry David Thoreau

                                            Have a great weekend!

"Street photography is a genre of photography that records everyday life in a public place. The very publicness of the setting enables the photographer to take candid pictures of strangers, often without their knowledge."

New York Palace (Weekend Reflections # 423)

Budapest, Hungary 

This is a reflection of the Boscolo hotel previously known as the New York Palace.  I think the old building is beautiful, even when reflected in a dirty window.

Happy Reflecting!

Upside Down = Right Side Up (Weekend Reflections # 271)

Budapest, Hungary

If you look at the bottom left corner of this photo you will see that it's upside down, which makes the reflection appear right side up. I took this shot during my last vacation. It's the Hungarian Parliament Building and Danube river reflected in a slightly tilted glass table in my hotel room. Also the pattern on blue carpet seems to match the reflected clouds. :-)

Enjoy your weekend!

Church of St. Anne (Weekend Reflections # 244)

Budapest, Hungary           Church of St. Anne (Szent Anna-Templom)


In hindsight I wish that I would have been more patient and removed the cigarette butts and waited for the water to re-settle before I took this shot. However, I suppose this photo illustrates Budapest's majestic beauty and seediness, two characteristics of most cities.

Finally, after all of cleaning, painting, replacing, fixing, etc., this is our moving weekend! It will be nice to be able to settle down, relax and just breath. It was a lot of work for such a small place and the work will continue but now it's really ours. :-)

I wish you a great weekend!

La Lumière de Victoire! (Weekend Reflections # 195)

Budapest, Hungary   (The lamp above his head is the reflection, it seemed to be in the perfect place.)


I saw this poster of  Teddy Riner through a window in Budapest. Big Teddy is a Frenchman and the 2012 Olympic heavyweight judo gold medal winner. Two months after I took this photo, Teddy won another gold medal at the 2013 European Judo Championship in Budapest. 

I called him Big Teddy because his height and weight are 2.4m (6ft 8in and 131 kg (290 lb)!

Have a great weekend everyone!
