Why i DIDNT envy those budapestans:


* for the rain.

Oh, and for one more thing. The terrible waiting room at the Keleti train station. If you have to wait 2 hours for a train and are not tempted by a quick town tour (I had 4 hours, finished the tour in 2), go to the Burger King across the street, get a huge Coke and watch a game or smthn. I watched Ajax-Inter, with both Romanians (Ogararu for Ajax and Chivu for Inter) playing well.

...


Other than that, Romania is beautiful from the airplane (as well ;)

The best thing about a photo is the journey that brought you to it.

    Fortunate man. Budapest is an excellent cit for night photography. I would, however, play with the white balance on some of those shots.

    You can try posting one of your images in the Finishing School and asking for
    sone pointers.

    I do agree, the opportunity to shoot night shots is awesome.
