At least this farm near Abony has power, but it still relies on a well for water.
The Gereche Hills around Budapest are very picturesque in all seasons, but especially so in winter. This day was -25C (-13F) and I could only manage about 30 seconds before my hands froze and I had to return to the car.
Apart from a few crows, this Tree Sparrow, puffed up against the cold, was the only bird I saw.
Ahhh...memories of winter in the northern hemisphere. Can't imagine that you miss the cold weather but the location, well I bet that's another story.
ReplyDeleteHi Tony, perversely I think you are kind of missing the cold weather arn't you? (-: Lovely shots, specially the berries and the Tree Sparrow. Are you still in the middle of a heatwave over there? Hard to imagine!
ReplyDeleteHi Frank anjd Jenny. Yes, I must admit I do miss a "proper" winter. No heatwave atthe moment. today is forecast for 29C but climbing to the mid-high thities by the weekend.
ReplyDeleteLovely post all round, Tony, even though not Oz. I guess one accommodates to what one grows up with - or moves. The beauty is quite astounding. I love the starkness of the well in front of the house. And the red pop of the berries ... and that poor sparrow who is on the verge of a self-pop!
ReplyDeleteHi Julie. Glad you enjoyed it. It certainly is different to Oz!!
ReplyDeletewow! Those look a lot like the shots I took in December in Quebec! lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks susan. appreciate you taking the time to comment. Quebec must be lovely at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteThese scenes are beautiful, Tony. Nicer to look at than to experience from the point of view of the cold, of course... As you said at the beginning of the post, here in the UK we have just finished with our snow and the ice and cold and I'm looking forward to getting warmer now! But still lovely to look at the pretty snow scenes and the yesteryear feel of life in Hungary.
