Now, down to business. You can see where I was - in a restroom in Budapest. I saw the pink door and thought, "How cute is that!". But my thought wasn't on getting a picture of the pink door, until I stepped inside and saw this differently shaped toilet. I dug out the camera and then had to get a pic of the door, too - loved the reflection of the toilet - it was really all about the toilet, right! Notice the handle and lock on the door and the buttons on the wall above the toilet for flushing.

Budapest:
Another interesting door. Europe is good about using metal work within windows, doors and door and walk ways - aesthetic and strong.
Yes, a purposeful grainy picture. Leica has a black and white filter that has a pin point feature. I was experimenting with the contrast and darkness and light. I cropped out the right side of the building, which made the pin point more apparent.

I've been absent from blogging, although with the feel of fall in the air today, I am ready to get back at it and finish my promised door project. Stay Tuned!

2015 - A Year of Doors
Doors are symbols of hope, passage, opportunity and the list goes on. 2015 really isn't the year of the doors, but I love attractive doors and love to take pictures of them. I have several doors that I promised to share from my last trip to Europe. So, a year of doors.
To get to doors one needs to wander and I love to wander. Let's start the year out on a path in front of the Hungarian State Opera House in Budapest...
May 2015 bring you opportunity, hope and a bit of wandering.

Budapest: Coffee on the Balcony
Coffee and Budapest. Two of my favorite things.
Three of us traveled together, so decided to rent apartments in three of the four cities. Oh, the things we learned .... We learned it was more roomy, although the apartment in Budapest was the only one with a balcony that had room for sitting, drying clothes (folding clothesline against wall) and enjoying the sights and sounds of the city. We learned that balcony doors don't always open like they do in the US and that is another picture and story. We learned that after going to Vienna (and pre-payed for our apartment) that we loved Budapest more and were able to return to this same apartment for another week. Yes, we basically paid for two apartments in different cities the same week, but we love Budapest.
The two opera's in Vienna were amazing!
Coffee on the balcony - lovely!

Out and About in Budapest
I was doing homework all weekend and only left the apartment for breakfast and dinner - had leftovers for lunch.
Today I roamed and got lost. Yes, really and truly lost! Luckily, kind Hungarians guided me back to Andrassy Ut. My bearing street and what a street! The buildings are beautiful; the problem is slowing down and looking at the detail. I love the doors, too. I will do a post on door later. Here is a new find
