Hungarian Puppet Theatres event

Our local Puppet Theatre, Ciróka bábszínház , hosted a public theatre for the children last weekend. All I can say is, not only the children had fun, this adult too!

Neon

Neon colours have been popular for few seasons now ; I hope this trend doesn't fade. Things just come alive with some neon shades!

Finally I learned this is call cabbage flower and ornamental kale !

For winter, the town council has been beautifying with this plant for the past few years as it  could weather the harsh winter very well.

#321/365 Ice skating rink?

Since yesterday morning, these men have been slowly building something at the "zero metre" mark.
Today we were there again to have a closer inspection. Still no clue; but judging from the materials, my guess was it's going to be an ice skating rink for the winter season. My husband has his doubt.. As usual in such situation, we normally ended up with a bet of who wins the correct guess. Let's hope I win the 6 euros!

#293/365 Tourists

This morning and even now (14:27pm) has been a beautiful day and especially suitable for sight-seeing.

#272/365 Open air Jazz

Too bad we were on our way to the library (with my MIL) , otherwise I would've chosen to stay and listen to this..

#261/365 Vacant

A popular spot for gatherings of chess / card games ; and sometimes the homeless. But hey, all of them get along :)

#216/365 Wedding theme

Continuing on yesterday's theme, here I spied in a shot of an international wedding taking place at the main square last year. My guess is marriage of a Scotsman and a Hungarian...duh..
