B&W fragments from Castle of Buda - Budapest

A piece of history, the Nyerges-tető
If you are a hungarian, transilvanian, austrian, russian or even romanian I'm pretty sure you heard about the 1848-49 freedom-fights, about the revolution.
At an altitude of 875 m, in the mountains of Ciuc is a place we call Nyerges-tető, a holly place were one of the last battle of the 1848-49 revolution was fought.This is the place where major Tuzson János and his handful of soldiers fought bravely against the mighty Austro-Russian army.The battle was won by the Austrians by treachery.The fallen heroes body was berried in a common grave in this holly place, where now, you can find this sea of crosses.

Some shots from the past month...

Before the storm raves...

I love the cloud formations before the storm, they are very heavy and aggressive, there is a nice contrast between densities...no HDR was used only gradual filter...

... same place, but with a bit of PS

After the storm, a nice rainbow...

Poppys near the railway ...

Just a gradual gray filter, not a HDR,...,and I want to dedicate this one for a good friend, who has the same passion like me,...photography! We discuss a lot about photography, changing ideas and sometimes we go out for a "photo session".I hope he will like this one more, than the previous post's first shot!Who is this friend?A hint,.., he's a vegetarian!

The quiet before storm...

11000 meter above the Earth...

In February we where flying to Germany and back, I had the occasion to make some decent shots "above the Earth" I was lucky not to sit above the wing (many time happens) and I had my camera on board the window was clean (rare happens).
For somebody who is flying very often, this post may be boring, but for me was a real adventure.I love flying and love to look at these amazing cloud formations.

But especially love to look up, to that deep dark blue sky.
