DP Theme day : City Exchange
City exchange *brain storming*light bulb*... let's do Szentes' sister cities/town, fantastic!
Will just focus on one city which is Markgröningen(Germany) . Obviously I haven't been to the area but would really love to see the place for myself because...
am curious of what happens at a Shepherd's Race (a tradition since 1445)!
If I'm there for the race, I could attend their international music festival. Of course, the great attraction for me is their gorgeous architecture such as the one shown above. Can't wait!
FYI, our sister cities/towns incl :-
Bácskatopolya (Yugoslavia), Bunol (Spain), Markgröningen (Germany), Dubravuta-Újszentes (Romania), Sankt Augustin (Germany), Hof Ashqelon (Israel), Kaarina (Finland), Skierniewice (Poland)

Good idea. And a very impressive list of sister cities.
A wonderful building, imposing but charming!
Hi Kris! I agree with both Denton and Kate - good idea and charming building. I'd like to see a close up of that door!
I'm not sure what Sydney's sister cities are, nor even if it has any! What a brilliant way to treat the theme, and the photo is absolutely gorgeous, Kris!
I was overseas for a few days and only came home last night, too late to enrol in the Theme day, but I am participating anyway.
Cheers!
Great idea!
for some reason, I kept thinking this was switzerland but i guess it could also be Germany - little do I know my buildings - but it does look very impressive
Like Kala, i thought it was in Switzerland. This house is HUGE!
nice idea.
:))
and its a beautiful building indeed.
what attract me in europe is the wonderful historical buildings too.
:))

wah...Szentes has a lot of sisters :)
Very good idea to list your sister cites. It could be a separate theme day topic. Well we kind of did it this time. I love your photo.
When are you going there? I'd like to come along...at least for the Shepherd's Race (I hope they don't race sheeps!).
Very nice photograph and a great idea to list your sister cities.
My Theme Day is of a city unto itself, with its own zip code, and a portrait of the "Peashooter" at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Hope you like flying.
Such a beautiful and charming building!
Hope you'll be there and share some shots later.... ;D
oh I like the idea of the sister cities... I'm going to search for Madrid ones!
and oh! really nice photo!
Oh! we have a lot of sisters! 37!!!
oh great shot of this building;)
What a great idea to do sister cities! That building is really charming, and I hope that someday you can go there yourself!
What a beautiful building!
Very good brainstorming idea! I too participated in yesterday's One Day of Silence on most of my blogs...I have many! :-) Happy May Theme Day! Can you guess what mine is?
think we may hit 100 before we're done!
Kris,
