Taking a Load Off in Budapest

I spotted this bench on the street in the old Jewish Quarter of Budapest, maybe used for waiting for a bus? Or maybe just taking a load off…anyway, it’s definitely much used! Xingfu Mama’s Pull Up a Seat Photo Challenge

A Photo a Week Challenge: Up in the Air

This week, Nancy Merrill’s A Photo a Week challenge is Up in the Air. Gulls follow the boats on the Sea of Galilee in Israel.. I guess they think people are going to feed them but we didn’t. And here is a flowering tree last spring.

Lens-Artists #84: Narrow Passageways
