Budapest: Saint Matthias Church III
Mátyás-templom (Saint Matthias Church) I’ve posted other photos of Saint Matthias Church in my Budapest photo gallery, but I really did like the way this image came out. This building has had a long, somewhat crazy, history. Tradition holds Saint Stephen founded the church as the Church of Mary in 1015 AD, and this original […]
Barcelona: Park Güell
Gaudi’s Park Güell – Barcelona While in Barcelona, we tried to visit a couple different Gaudi landmarks, and were hoping to walk around Park Güell and take some photos. Unfortunately, we made a critical mistake – not buying tickets in advance. We were able to walk around the outside of the park, and a small open area, […]
Buda Castle: Public Art and Sculptures
Buda Castle – Sculptures and Artwork Walking around on my last day in Budapest, within the Buda Castle District, there are dozens of outdoor bronze statues and sculptures. I never did find out the name of this one, but it appears to be Saint/King Matthias based on the other artworks in the general area. I need […]
Budapest: Guarding the Entrance
None shall pass I’ve been home about a week from my last business trip, and I am still going through thousands of photos I took on my downtime in Barcelona and Budapest. This is one from Budapest, as you enter the courtyard to the Budapest History Museum. I visited the museum on my last trip, but […]
Trigger therapy
Heading to the range This morning I am heading out to the Pennsylvania Public Range at the State Game Lands 127 for a little bit of target practice. I’ve been traveling in Europe so much this summer that I haven’t been able to get any target shooting in. Today’s therapy has been prescribed and will […]
Saturday Morning Ride
The return of the Jack-O’-Liner This morning, Jen and I went out for breakfast at Cherry’s Sunset Diner in Kresgeville, then for a ride up and around the Poconos and Lehigh Valley… with all the travel I’ve been doing this summer, it was great to finally get out on my custom Stratoliner / Jack-O’-Liner and just ride with […]
OMG – Nice Weather – on a weekend?!?
Surely this is a sign the world shall end! I’ve been on the road nearly all summer, and whenever I have been home its been pissing rain out… not a pattern that conducive to my stress relieving motorcycle riding… but not this weekend! This weekend, other than some paperwork I need to catch up on, I […]
Droning on about Drones
To Drone or not to drone … Well, that question I’ve answered. I am looking at getting a drone to muck around with here in the backwoods I live in, as well as when I travel (where permitted). I’ve been digging around online and have narrowed it down to two options, the Phantom 3 Professional from […]
WordPress Upgrade to v4.3
The only thing we have to fear … … is not having a good, complete, usable backup! But luckily, so far, things appear to have gone fairly well. I am now upgraded to WordPress 4.3 and well… nothings gone sideways yet – but the night is young. If you happen to see any gremlins or […]
The True Grand Budapest Hotel
Grand Budapest Hotel So, I haven’t done this type of post yet, but there is a first time for everything. Last week I was in Budapest for business, and because of a music festival in town, my normal hotel was booked out, and I stayed at the Hilton Budapest Castle Hotel — and it truly was […]
