Leaving on a jetplane

On Wednesday the 4th of August I got on an aeroplane to travel to England on holiday, and escape the Barcelona heat for a month.

Bristol clouds

Out of my window the other evening...

Dusk at Granny's

Dusk at the farm, which is near Yass, NSW.

Sunset in Sydney

The sky seen from a balcony in Surry Hills on my first night back in Australia.

Clouds over Europe

Angry clouds

This is the first and last photos I took on a walk yesterday. See how quickly the weather changes here? That grey cloud in the second photo rained all over me on my way home :-(

Late summer

I took these out of my window right at the end of summer.

Budapest: Evening walk home

I took these walking home after a long day spent at the Gellert.

Budapest: the Gellert

The Gellert pool and spa was where I spent most of three of the five days I was in Budapest. It doesn't look it from these photos, as they were taken right at the end of the day, but Budapest was scorching hot the whole time we stayed. The only place to be was by the pool.

The Gellert is famous for its thermal baths, where you can bathe in water that has shot up hot and rich straight from the center of the earth. You cannot take photos in the thermal section however, I think because quite a lot of the older, more local ladies like to get in the nude as they bathe.

The ladies in the last picture are carved into the wall at the entrance of the spa...

Achensee: Early morning

I got up early and took photos in the misty morning, as the sleepy clouds drifted down from the mountains toward the lake.

Brittany: Sundown at the beach

I took these after dinner one night, on the windy beach where children were still playing and men had come down with their fishing rods. The light was just as it looks in the pictures, bright pink and soft blue, and the air was cool and salty.

Brittany: First impressions

Monday Evening

Last night the rain finally subsided for a few hours and the sky was beautiful, glowing pink and purple and blue as the sun set.

We stayed in after the sun set and watched the Fugitive.

I got so distracted reading this blog this morning that I burnt my toast. (I make dry fry toast on the hob - I still haven't bought a toaster!)
