2018 NH Autumn/SH Spring Photo Thread

Nah, we didn't go on any tours actually. And to be honest, the parliament building wasn't what I was most interested in in Budapest.

The only thing we payed for except food was we went to the movies, but it was some weird foreign films artsy place, so we saw the Norwegian film Utøya with Hungarian subtitles lol

Ffucken amazing today

It was around 24C with a dew of 17

A few pictures from Saskatoon this afternoon...

It was a very mild 12C with no wind and clear cloudless skies. Despite the early start to the fall colors this year the transition has been slow and they've stuck around to the point where they're actually at a relatively normal stage for early October now.

The temperature combined with the scenery has meant that today was the first day in a long time that felt properly seasonal to me 

Current fall color report
On September 22nd there were still a few dandelions around. Here's one. Temperature was about 17C.


The next few are from September 29th in a park. Weather was 12C, partly cloudy then overcast.








There's a single zipline just off the trail, must be someone's personal zipline.

Christ, Prague is beautiful

And now, or final destination if you disregard Stockholm: Kraków.

The building where we stayed, as well as most other buildings in the area, looked nice, but right across the street there's what looks like a ruin from WW2 lol.



Extremely beautiful garden though if you ask me, but I don't think it's been tended to in the last decades or so.


Pretty beautiful core, but outside of the core it looked surprisingly Scandinavian. Didn't take pictures of that because no one wants to see that.


We were walking towards the old town center when we stumbled upon a random Barbican.


On the other side of a grove or park or whatever you'd call it, we found the old city walls.


Said city walls.





Inside the walls, it didn't look quite as I expected of an old town. Very pretty regardless.


Market square after some rain showers.



A bunch of random buildings there.



I've already mentioned the pigeons in the non-weather photo thread but it was insane. A group of Swedes came and one of them wanted to become the pigeon lord too. He got a bit overwhelmed though which was funny to watch.


Every hour a guy with a trumpet started blasting a melancholic fanfare out of this church tower.


Wandered through another park.


This man spreader needs to share some space. The other guy is fine though.




Found this little garden. I like the hornbeam. Cool texture. The ones we have in Umeå aren't nearly that big and probably never will. And no, those aren't birches. They're beeches. Ours will probably never be as big as those either...


After some exploring we stumbled upon this large castle... made of brick...


View from the castle. Some fall colors!


Lots of fall colors surrounding the castle hill. Drought or overheating seemed to be the problem here too. The chestnuts were brown, whereas in Umeå where it's been much cooler this summer they're mostly green still.


I like this church design. And it looked like early November right in this spot lol.


Fall colors by some jewish cemetery.


And please, let's all acknowledge this absolute madlad who biked on a 40cm wide railing right by the river.


Then we went to Auschwitz.
