We have moved from this little town of Szentes to Kecskemét for a number of years now. Where exactly is our "new" location? To give you an idea, here's an extraction from Wiki :-
"Kecskemét lies halfway between the capital Budapest and the country's third-largest city, Szeged, 86 kilometres from both of them and almost equal distance from the two big rivers of the country, the Danube and the Tisza. It is the northern of two centres of the Hungarian Southern Great Plain (Hungarian: Del-Alföld) region (comprising the three counties Bács-Kiskun, Békés and Csongrád); the southern centre is Szeged, the seat of Csongrád county. " - Wikipedia
You can join us at http://kecskemetdailyphoto.blogspot.hu/ , a photo blog documenting what we see and experience in our "new" home, Kecskemét.
Meanwhile, we'll still maintain this blog as and when we have new materials to share.
Thank you :)

Busó-walk / Busójárás
Happened on 22 February.
It's a pity we didn't make it back ; but the video taken from facebook showed how fun the Busójárás was! :)

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 |

Theme day: Festival of the Belly Button
When I first make the big move here in 2005, I received my first digital point 'n shoot camera, a gift to document my new life in a new country.
It was also the early years of photo sharing on the internet; so, enthusiastically I joined many photo sharing sites. In the beginning, many of my photos was just point and shoot (duh!), without considering the proportion etc.
Over time, I learned more on photo compositions and editing from others. By 2006, my first digital camera retired when I upgraded to semi-dslr; which am still currently using.
For this theme day, I submit 2 shots of the rail tracks, both taken just within months. The noticeable difference for me was that in the later shot, I got more comfortable with photo editing programmes, and experimented a lot more.

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 :-

Reading nook

If you're not into novels, fictions and such, you should still visit the newspapers & periodicals section of the library. As it is light , airy, full of green and the reading materials are good, too. Best section in my opinion!
