Last Sunday my friend and I discovered a nice park in Orange County, where in addition to a great hike we were also treated to wonderful sceneries and also some wildflowers. Let me share our experience with you in a few photos.

A Walk in Los Angeles – Lensbaby Blog Circle
Towards the end of March my friend and I took a train trip into Los Angeles, and enjoyed a nice, slowly paced walk in the city for a few hours. Since we were not in a hurry whatsoever, using Lensbaby lenses was a good option. Let me share with you a few pictures of the areas we visited, which included Union Station, the City Hall (great view from the 27th floor!), the Bradbury Building, the Grand Central Market (I only ate there, no pictures), and the Disney Concert Hall. The lenses I used were: Twist 60, Sol 45 and Velvet 56.
Enjoy the brief tour of Los Angeles. (more…)

Budapest Walk on July 19, 2017
Today was a very hot day, I only had a short, one hour walk in the city. This stretch of the city, from Jászai Mari Square to Blaha Lujza Square houses lots of beautiful, old, stylish buildings. They include the Comedy Theater of Budapest, Western Train Station, and a few hotels. There are also many modern restaurants on this streets, one for every taste.
Enjoy the tour! (Directions and direct link to the gallery under the map.)

Budapest Walk on July 15, 2017
This morning I headed out to the district where I lived the year prior to moving to the USA: Óbuda (3. District). I got off the tram at Zsigmond Square (2. District), because I attended a once-a-week English class in that area during that last year. Then I started walking on Bécsi Street, which has been renovated almost completely in the past few years. I soon reached the Amphitheater, which are the ruins of an Ancient Roman Military Amphitheater. I was able to walk inside of it last year, but the area is now closed. I then walked to Flórián Square, where it started raining. Luckily, I was able to go into the underground walking passage, where there were more Ancient Roman ruins. Finally, after the rain mostly stopped, I walked to Fő Square and Szentlélek Square, where they were building the stage for an upcoming concert series. I might come back to check out the festivities.

Budapest Walk on July 2, 2017
When I woke up the skies were rather dark, and I even spotted a double rainbow:
I was hesitant if I should head into downtown or not, but I decided to go. I was taking a bus from Deak Square up to the Castle District, when I spotted the breathtaking lights on the castle and its surrounding. I got off the bus, and took about a 10 second walk to reach a good spot for photos, when the Sun decided to hide behind the clouds. For most of the morning it stayed cloudy, only for short periods of time I saw the Sun’s magical work on the buildings. This cloudy day was great for one thing: I was able to photograph the Pest side from Fisherman’s Bastion, which I usually cannot do due to the Sun being on that side.
I walked only a small part of the district, I left the other side for a different day. I really enjoyed the peacefulness of the area prior to the tourists showing up.
