Budapest

Click image for more photos ...
In June Kate's annual KBS conference was held in Budapest Hungary. We stayed at the hotel attached to the Gellert Thermal Bath on the west side of the river. The pictures in the album are an odd bunch and not well sorted... there's a reason for that.

The camera I was using at the time was a Minolta DiMage A1 which I had been using since our long trip to Australia/New Zealand in 2004. It was an excellent travel camera which worked very well — a long fast zoom, image stablization, reasonable film speed, it worked well. The Compact Flash memory cards at that time were quite small which meant that every day after shooting I'd strip the cards onto Kate's laptop. Unfortunately, on this trip the camera and the laptop both failed! We were able to resort some deleted photos off my memory cards but lost quite a few. Many of the pictures in this collection are from friends who shared them with me.

The picture above is from just before the camera failed. As I recall that's taken at the one end of the Erzsébet Bridge.

This note composed 2023/08/09 ... much more work required. I'll come back to this another day.
