#140/365 Whit Monday

Flowers for the Blessed Virgin gifted by believers at Boldogasszony tér (Blessed Virgin Square).

Another angle of this statue could be seen here.

#139/365 The flat land

Just came back from an overnight stay at my mother-in-law; hence, the extreme late posting. Anyway, I was looking forward to catch scenery similar to the above on the bus ride; strangely, nada..perhaps the season is already over as this was taken last April.

#138/365 Community garden

We don't have a garden; however, next to our building there are plots of vacant land.
In the last several years, few people have taken upon themselves to plant all kinds of flowers on the vacant plots. It really helps to beautify the area. I wish we could contribute, but with my black thumbs, I better not!

#137/365 Széchenyiváros

From the centre, you could see some of the housing estate at Széchenyiváros or Széchenyi Town. A town of 30,000 something people started around 1968.

#136/365 that is blue!

This week has been slow in terms of photo opportunities; however, after digging around in the archive, I hope you don't mind that I give you again one of my favourite subjects : blue sky :)

#135/365 Man playing Hungarian citera

Final photo from the folk fair. We enjoyed every bit of it, including music from this man on the Hungarian citera :) . Read about Citera.

#134/365 Something handmade

After all the excitement of seeing brides everywhere (see yesterday's post), we arrived at this craft/food fair.

The stand out goods for me are the two Hungarian folk embroidered crafts stalls. If I have somewhere to wear this gorgeous clothes to, I would buy it alas we're not traditional garb people.

One more post on what-we-saw last Saturday tomorrow, before we close the chapter.

#133/365 Waiting to be married

Last Saturday seemed to be a popular date to tie the knot. On our afternoon walk, there were at least 3 couples waiting to be wed :)

#132/365 Go go go

What a busy day it was on Saturday, in terms of the numbers of events held at the town square. We thought of making our way to the puppet show again (read yesterday's post), but we noticed this race going on. Of course, we stopped and cheered a bit. We chose these 3 shots to give you an idea of how some of our streets look like.

After all the cheering and snapping, we made it to the puppet show, the story and style weren't what we're expecting, so we left the show to wonder around. Guess what we saw next?

ps. Over here, we celebrated mother's day last Sunday; while my home country is celebrating this Sunday, wish all mothers Happy Mother's day!

#131/365 Story telling

The puppet theatre gave a free performance at the town square yesterday. Judging from the noises in the audience,  I think the children loved it and we adults, too :)

The free shows will continue until Sunday.
