Summer sky - winter sky

This first picture was taken 5 months ago, in July, at Midnight.



And I took these two yesterday, at 3 in the afternoon...




One more from yesterday:

Play the picture game!

You must like photos if you are visiting this blog :-)

Why not check out my recently launched Picture Game? I post there one photo with a question about it. The person who gives the correct answer first will win one of my photos. Often, there is also a bonus question, with another chance to win.

So I see you there and wish you fun!

Kazincbarcika, Egressy Beni ut

In the very last days of October, I spent a short time in my home town in Hungary, Kazincbarcika.
Visited my family and had a fantastic high school reunion, after quite a few years. Great time!
Here is a couple of pictures from the place where I grew up.
Enjoy!

Egressy Beni ut is the main street of town. In the socialist era, it was called Lenin ut... I prefer this new name; he was a great composer and playwrighter in the first half of the 19th century, born in one of the villages of which they united the new city called Kazincbarcika in 1954.

Typical apartment house, built in the 50's


One of the more than 40 statues in the town: Kuruc Valiant

You can see the values of the communism from the 50's also on the embossements: work, work, work.

There are a few small squares like this one, along the street

Going to the North - 3

Still on the road to the North, last hours of driving.

Some more water

Kalix, 9 pm. About 45km more to go to the Swedish-Finnish border.

My camera seems to apply sunscreen; I took these two pictures on the same bridge as the previous one with the light blue sky, but on the other side.

The heat is on, the summer is hot - let's cool down in the North!

First hours of the trip with my husband from Stockholm to Northern Sweden. 1039 km in front of us, 14 hours by the plans.

We took the first stop in China...

Chinese & Scandinavian design at a resting palce

I only had time to dip my feet into this lake at Tönnebro, a bit more than 200 km from Stockholm
The water had this color indeed, from the iron it contained
