Art on sale
You can find small and medium art galleries around town such as the one above. However, I noticed that there are more classical than modern contemporary art on sale.

Graffiti weekend
I have a love / hate relationship with graffiti. More love actually especially when I find something as creative as this.
Update : Dec 19, 2012 - this graffiti is no longer...

Autumn colours
Early autumn to me offers some interesting colours and photo opportunities. I definitely prefer it to summer (apart from the change of clothing, that is :)

Csiperó 2008
I was told Csiperó is a type of bird species. Well, am too lazy to verify that ..haha.
Right now, Kecskemét is hosting Csiperó 2008 - 10th Future of Europe International Children and Youth Meeting. Read more about the history of the association here .
Between June 6-13 , 2008 , there are hive of activities and performances by participating countries around the town of Kecskemét. Check out the programmes schedule on the same link given above !
The following are some shots taken during the few times I managed to catch some street shows...
Like those costumes !
More of the same costume ;)
French brass band performing at the pedestrian. They began with tunes from the James Bond series...very cool !
On the other side while the brass band was playing, this non-mechanical rocking "boat" was entertaining those who 're not afraid of motion sickness !

Then this high wheel bicycle rode by...wow ! so many things happening at once !
Hopefully i'll be posting more from this event. Perhaps the laser show and fireworks from the closing ceremony ..they'd be nice :)
