Depending on what you thought of yesterdays post, you might well be glad to know, that while scouring the streets of Budapest, I did have a ‘proper’ camera with me.
The little LOMO Smena was a bit of an unknown quantity, so I made sure that my trusty Nikon, (which, with its lens accoutrements, I calculated roughly would have bought me over 500 of the Smena’s) was always near to hand.
Just as well…Budapest is so photogenic that film costs would have left me destitute…..Film is luvverly stuff but I do like the ‘Shoot And Be Damned’ freedom of digital…
I’ve toyed with the idea of theming a few posts, but do you know what? I can’t be arsed!
So a first instalment of Budapestian delights, totally random…..I hope they leave you Hungary for more. (snigger).

I had to jack it up and apply an inordinate amount of elbow grease to achieve the precise effect……….

This time I like Flat and Flock – sounds like a 70’s puppet show
Stuart Hyde - shpics
I can see them……..and for some reason , (at least in my head), they have Dutch accents.
If I could knit I would make’em.
🙂

They would have to knitted in brown wool and in garter stitch with bttons for eyes and probably felt clogs…. 🙂

Ahh…I knew we were in tune, but isn’t having identical imaginary puppet friends slightly weird? If you confirm that Flats clogs are russet and Flocks are marigold, I think I will book myself an appointment with a specialist.
:-S

Well of course they are! They probabaly have brown corduroy dungarees to wear for special occasions too? 🙂

Scary……I’m off to see a man with access to a cupboard full of Prozac.

Sounds like a French village in our neck of the woods. 😦

Both would I’m guessing, give a similar sense of ‘all is well with the world’…The benefit of my version being that you can carry it in your pocket.

All the villages in this neck of the woods seem to end in ‘ac’, Blanzac, Balzac, Jonzac, Pranzac, ….. I would love to find a Prozac amongst them, reckon it would be sleep inducing rather than anything else though 😦 PS Finally got round to posting something myself if you have time to pop in 🙂

I have, I believe, ridden through Jonzac…..
And of course I will be popping in toot sweet.

Would that be on a flaming steed with sword held aloft or on an Enfield by any chance? 🙂

It would have been a Kwackersacky of either the green or yellow variety…..(I admit to have succumbed to the boring ease of the Japanese motorcycle in the past)…I cant actually remember which trip it was, (there’ve been a few).
Oh…And don’t forget Cognac…….
🙂
janemorley2014
Who could possibly forget Cognac – we are talking alcohol here I presume?
Stuart Hyde - shpics
I regularly forget Cognac……Until I find the bottle at the foot of the bed.

Great set. The colors are excellent.

Cheers Chris…Glad you like’em.
I was lucky with the light while I was in Budapest. Everyday was different, so I got some really intense colours and some atmospheric subdued stuff as well.
Thanks for commenting.
