The other day we had a photo-taking session again with Zannnie….(yes..yes she didnt disappeare she is just still busy to post)…and we went to the Batthyány square which is in Buda, just oposite to the Parliament Building. But the parliament building I have showen several times already so now I turned around and you can see the square:)
It seems the circus pays very badly so the magician had to seach for a second job. He got hired by the city government of Budapest where they are lack of human resource at road recontsructions or at the new metro’s construction. :) do you believe or not?:)

This weekend I got a cold so I couldnt attend personally at this event but I wanted to report about it very much:) So for today I use a photo I got from an internet portal called index.
The event was on saturday, related to a conference. The people on the bridge are volunteers, everyone got a green umbrella which made a great contrast to the river. More photos and info you can see here.
Cows appeared again on the streets of Budapest. Last september I posted this photo about the Cow Parade 2006. For this year this cow is one of my favorite. It symbolizes the new Siemens Combino tramways.:)
More photos about the exhibited cows you can see here.
The best in the Indian summer (which we call the summer of the old ladies) is that lights and colors become special. Shadows are longer but still not too late (I took this photo a bit before 5 pm) and the weather is just perfect to sit outside. I have read on Meg’s Nelson site that spring is definitelly arrived there…from here I can report…autumn is knocking on the door:)
The design of the M2 (Metro line No.2) has changed in the last two years. This photo I took at the Moscow square subway station. I really like the new design hopefully the next step will be to change the old trains:)
Our guest for this week is Kalman Zita.
I just love this photo. Zita’s comment to it:
This glass zigzag belongs to Hotel Marriott in Budapest, Hungary, which is located in Duna korzó.
The riverside Duna korzó or Danube Promenade lies between Lánchíd (Chain Bridge) and Erzsébet híd (Elizabeth Bridge) and above Belgrád rakpart. The promenade has the best views of Várhegy (Castle Hill) across the river Danube.

Here’s how to ‘Be our Guest Photographer‘:
On the Flickr, we have opened a group called Budapest Award Group where everyone can add his/her Budapest photos and thus everyone is free to the awarding of the ‘Budapest Award’ to any photos in the group. Hence, every week the most popular photo will be invited to be featured on the Budapest DP.
Actually this photo is from the national day but I have forgotten to post it around 20th of August. Yesterday I didnt want to post it because of the Sept 11…so maybe today is a proper day for it.
The Danube is very high nowdays. I guess we are going to have some floods. If you look at the picture carefully you can see that the water almost reaches the car. It was fun to drive there.
This is just a short shoot I took from my car, you can see more beautiful photos taken by H:Balázs here.
Saturday night we went to the 16th International Wine Festival. It was really a cool event with a lot of wines:) You can read my detailed report with more photos here.
For the Zannnie fans who are missing her posts.:) Nowdays she is very busy with her new job but I am sure very soon you will read her post again.:)
This church is near to our place. A quiet weekend morning, almost no cars and even the bus is “sleeping” waiting for its next turn. Actually this is one of the first photo which I took with my new lens.:)
