Stepping out of myself …
finding myself a perfect spot last day of 2016 …
watching humans …
celebrating …
New Year 2017 …
much love to Aida and her lovely daughter … from Serbia and Germany …
and to these young Hungarian men giving me so many hugs … ❤ …
and offering me vodka …
but I was completely satisfied with their hugs … after a bottle of Hungarian champagne …
and salmon on a spinach bed.
You love the mountains. I love the sea. Both love adventures in the promising horizon. Both love to be part in each other’s worlds. Togetherness in sharing. Apartness in longing.
”When the sky touches the earth there is true love” our kisses whisper to the stars.

Close together – on the savory rocky beach or in the fragrant highland meadow – there always are stars in the sky. And bridges that unite.
Sometimes I am not initially fully aware about what my thinking and words create. Seems like my inner mind – my subconscious – also is working but I don’t realize it until afterwards – like here in this post. It is so united everything. I make upp the story about he and she. With no thinking about Budapest. As no sea and no mountains. And then i fits perfect with Buda’s hilly side and Pest’s flatland. And on top of the cake – the statue 😉
It’s not the first time this happens.

This piece of art on Gellert Hills shows Buda (king) and Pest (queen) uniting – Budapest.

It’s impossible to mope when visiting Budapest. Even if your friend is dedicated to photography. I can understand it’s boring sometimes. Stopping all the time to shoot photos when you just want to walk and chat – being together. S/he is never 100 % with you.
My advice:
-Start shooting you too!
-Go to Budapest!

Tonight at MÜPA I saw Carmen (Bizet) as contemporary dance. It was Kecskemét City Balett Company. It was a completely unique setup and the opening scen extraordinary. Oh how I would like to have a photo. The only disappointment was that Carmen was not that very very good as she should be. And I thought all the time about how great my favorite Alexandra would do in that role. But I got a favorite for this night – Nikolett Nagy. She was outstanding in her balanced complex movements related to music. There was also another dancer – the shortest and blond – have to ask about her name. The choreography made the audience breathless about how strong feelings were delivered from scene.
And I am impressed about the scene settings – unique and creative.

Next and also last on my program 2016 is the Nutcracker (for 2nd time) on Friday. Looking forward for sure! As you can see in the program link I have been busy about culture. Hopefully 2017 will be the same. I’ve already bought tickets for Dance festival and Spring festival. In between i have to go home too.
MÜPA – The Theatre changing colors.
Walking my lonely evening walk among all these people. Feeling the festive air of the city I’m so in love with. All these beauty – and I do not mean things – I mean the feelings it gives – to me. Three poems popped up in my head.
three bottles
a day kept Christmas away
creativity orgie
Ha ha … sometimes I’m so funny to be with! I smiled to everybody in the street and a Japanese lady first answered with a smile and then looked a bit confused.
the scent
of your strong chest – protecting
beating hearts
Ah … I would like you to be here. Walking along with me. Holding my hand. Enjoying life. Chat, discuss and giggle. And most of all – just being. Feeling the scent of each other in mutual respect for – what so ever. (This popped up just now).
you know
hawks are hunting – but only

Now I find myself close to the boarder. The ‘besinged’ Danube. This beautiful place like in a fairytale. The Danube – so fresh and swirling. Had to sit down on a bench. Breath and sigh. Such a wonderful little spot in Universe. Just mine … for now …
clouds dancing
shadows on the castle facade
thrillingly me
How can you resist …
Carpe Diem: #1108 – Promise.
I don’t usually shoot this kind of selfies – everybody else do – bewitching evening probably 😉
Finding myself in the place.
Perfectly right space.
After testing so many ways.At last peace in my mind.
This gem so happy to find.
No longer lost and blind.Life gets a new fresh start.
I’m thankful to be so smart.
Budapest – retreat – in my heart.
The Chain Bridge over Danube – between Pest and Buda – and Buda Castle.
Daily Prompt: Retreat.
Man skulle kunna önska att man kunde skriva poesi lika elegant som en fjällbäck tar sig fram i landskapet. Kanske kan man lära sig?
Varför kunde inta jag komma på att jag ”legat vaken hela natten och känt om hjärtat sitter kvar”? (Lars Winnebäck)
Jag ligger förstås inte vaken hela natten. Oftast sitter jag uppe och ”jobbar” halva. Resten och lite till sover jag gott.
Kanske ska man tänka ut ett tema först. LW hade ju soldat, vapen och krig som tema i sin ”Ingen soldat”.
hjärta och smärta
i en kropp som hyser hela livet
bortom poesin
Jag får fundera ut ett tema.
det övergivna
lämnas för återuppbyggnad
utan hjärta
Skrivpuff blev min räddning – igen.
det tomma
arket som nu ska fyllas med själ
och hjärta
Det puffordet ska jag ta med nästa promenad.
Skrivpuff: Övergivet.
Just now in this very minute …. Placido Domingo concert in DUNA TV … and two ladies singing … Yes I can … from Annie get your gun.
This one made a life changing and vital impress to me as a little child. How happy I am that my parents brought my to this operett. Now I love all kinds of performing arts.
So …
Anything you can do – I can do better!
Just watching wonderful music and performances in Budapest TV. It’s so beautiful my heart cries.
Such contrasts in the world!
In one channel – the most beautyful man can make – in the other – the most destructive man kan do.
And Victor Orban says:
”Hungary is a stable island in the agitated western world”
… and that’s exactly what I feel just now.
Today I went to see the Nutcracker. This was a special performance for children in Budapest. It was performed as contemporary dance and the child perspective was obvious. I enjoyed so much. Think I have never seen something like this. It was just great and I could feel all kinds of emotions in the air. The kids were all swallowed up by the performance – end we grown ups too. At a few occasions the audience was involved. The children especially liked the snow ball war with the actors.
Oh how I would like to bring my grandchildren to see this.

Snow ball war – I picked up my iPhone to shoot.
Wonderful dancers!!!! Szeged Contemporary Dance Co.
Outside MÜPA – the building that changes colors – you also can skate nowadays. See top photo.

”The Budapest bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics and Summer Paralympics was announced by the Hungarian Olympic Committee (Hungarian: Magyar Olimpiai Bizottság, MOB) on 11 November 2013, although organizers had been planning a bid since 2008.” Wikipedia.
I will sure cross my fingers. – Will you?
