				I'd crossed the Chain Bridge to the Buda side of the Danube on day three of my second trip to Budapest this year. I have no idea what this guy was doing on the roof of the fine-looking building just off the bridge, but I couldn't resist stopping and pointing the camera. I liked the ornate lamp as well, so the natural thing to so was get both in the one shot. Another glorious day ((we were blessed with wonderful weather, even though it was mid October).

				Actually, thinking about it again, yesterday's shot may not actually have been at V&auml;rasmarty T&eacute;r at all. This one definitely is, though. This glass façade is right across from some of the finest old architecture in the city. I'm a sucker for reflections at the best of times, and especially when it's as dramatic as this.

				I think this was one of the corners of V&auml;arasmarty T&eacute;r, which is just about the main square in the heart of Budapest. A large new development was under construction when I was there in May, and they were still working on it in October. Some of the relationships between old and new buildings work better than others. I'm not sure how this one will turn out.

				I've been desperately busy these past couple of weeks and have neglected my uploading here. It's time to rectify that now, since the client has just signed off on the job and I am once again stress-free. I may just fill in the gap which has been left gaping. Meanwhile, just to have something up for today, this is a shot I took in Budapest last month when Carl and I were over for a few days with our friends Michael and David. This is a view of the underside of the Elizabeth Bridge, one of the many mighty bridges which span the Danube, and is just one bridge away from where we were staying, on the way to the city centre.

				Another shot from a photo session on 24th October, this was taken shortly after 6.00 pm from the upper level of the Pavilion Centre in Dún Laoghaire as I was waiting to meet Carl to go to a film (I think this was when we went to see Ratatouille (hugely enjoyable). I was delighted to be able to get even a little bit of detail in the actual face of the moon. Focusing on something like this isn't easy with the camera I was using.

				I took this shot at the same time as yesterday's. The tide was very low (eh ... obvious, Jimbo!), which seemed to suit these birds just fine. I'm no ornithological expert. I've called this 'Waders' because that's what the birds were doing, not because I think they are waders.

				This photo dates from 24th October, which was an unseasonably nice day for the time of year. I was meeting Carl in D&uacute;n Laoghaire when he finished work, and I left home early enough to spend some time on Dublin's south Wall, which, together with its companion North Wall, protects the entrance to Dublin Port and eases passage for boats coming in and out of the Port. This view is on the south side of the south wall, looking across towards Sandymount, D&uacute;n Laoghaire, Dalkey and so on. I've no idea what purpose the building served of which the rubble in the foreground used to be a part.

				I'm not a fan of graffiti by any means, but sometimes I can't help admiring and being intrigued by some of what I see. This example is quite close to home, on the wall of a laneway I use as a shortcut from time to time. I've spent ages trying to figure out what sequence of strokes produced the white shape with the star, and I can't help but admire the redundant upward curve at the tail of the final letter in 'Giant' (which is also to be seen in this previous graffiti shot  is this common practice with graffiti-ists, or did the same person do both this and the one way over in D&uacute;n Laoghaire (somehow I don't think so: this isn't up to the same standard of draftsmanship)?

				While rambling out around Dún Laoghaire a while ago, I spotted this little moment in the day of a life of this guy who was doing some gardening work along the seafront. I like the silhouetted shapes.

				This is another shot taken in St Anne's Park at the same time as yesterday's offering (indeed, it was around here that I came across the abandoned glove). This is at the fringe of the Rose Garden in St Anne's. The roses were sadly past their best (it is late Autumn after all), but the park itself was an ideal place to be in the mid-afternoon sunshine. The long shadows and the piles of fallen leaves combined to make for lots of photo opportunities.

			<![CDATA[
				I spent a short while just up the road in St Anne's Park the other day, wandering around the rose garden in the pleasant sunshine. I came across this lonely glove on the ground and was sufficiently intrigued to stop and take a photo of it. I wonder what story there is behind this? How come one glove from what I presume from the label was a pack of two pairs came to be lying there all alone? It seems unlikely that it just fell un-noticed out of the pack, yet it's hard to think of any other way it came to be there. Is it a child's glove? If so, did the child in question suddenly feel chilly and beg its parent to be allowed to wear its new gloves? Did the child drop the lone glove accidentally out of the pack while pulling out a pair to put on? Mysteries. Mysteries ...

				I took a break from work to make a necessary visit to the bank. There's a Centra or Spar or whatever shop next door, and they had a rather nice display of floral bouquets out on the pavement. The sun was shining nicely (this was yesterday afternoon) and doing rather nice things. This what part of it looked like (selectively cropped from a larger original).
