Moving host

I had to move the blog to a new host this week, as it was just too slow for my linking. So I’m sorry for a bit of downtime that was mostly today, while it was changing to a new address. I do hope that this will result in better response and loading times overall, and it will just work better.  

Flower in Lyon

And for todays photo, here is one from Lyon in France. This is a flower sculpture in the middle of the city. I wanted a bit different composition, but I could not get closer, as it was completely surrounded by a fence. So all I did was to get the tripod as close as I could and put the camera high, so getting over the fence. I worked quite fine :) 

As I mentioned in my Top spots in Budapest, there is this wall with a walkway on it next to the Fishermans Bastion. It gives a great view of the city, but of course, the view towards the other side is also great :)

I’m sorry for the break in uploads the last week, but the frozen evening I spend taking the last photo I posted, really did not work for me well, especially for my allergy that I mentioned. If you want to imagine the effect, it’s like I cut my hands, around 20 times all over the fingers. Really not pleasant and a bit problematic when one wants to do something (it hurts like hell). But with it getting warmer this healed, and finally I’m able to normally continue. So here is a shot from Passau in Germany from last summer.

The temperatures dropped a lot the last days in Slovakia, with today being a nice -10 degrees Celsius (-18 real feel). I tried to go out to take some photos, but it really is not that fun, when one has a cold allergy. But today I stopped for an hour in Trnava, to take few photos, and while I gave up after about a hour in the cold, I still got some nice shots. And here is one of them :)

Last year I just took so many vertoramas. The tilt shift lens I got enabled just so many new compositions and views, many more than I expected. And here is one of them, that I took in the Zaanse Schans in Zaandam near Amsterdam. I actually should go back to Amsterdam again this year, so this will be one of the spots I will definitively revisit again :)
