    Wonderful pictures, and Hungary is so beautiful, i remember being to Budapest when i was 14. I was impressed by the dark tones and the gothic buildings

    A pic i have taken myself? Just one of myself i'm afraid, but it is one with a very expressionless face

    What a great idea to post your self-portrait!

    Here are some pictures of Blackbucks taken by my father.
    Fascinating animals, particularly the "cork screw" horns. I take it that they are indigenous to your country or region? The second photo, quoted above, is quite unusual how the depth of field is perceived as if it has been compressed as shown by the scale of the trees compared to the animals. Probably just the Canadian Club playing tricks with my mind.
    Thanks for sharing

    Yes the blackbucks are native to subcontinent. My father recently visited Lal Suhanra National Park and found a large population of these beautiful animals.

    Wonderful Olga, especially the last one.
    I suppose the photos of the water were taken from the bridge?
    Nice.

    I attended a wedding in Ft. Worth recently. I left early so I could swing by Tadao Ando's Modern Art Museum.
    Here are a few shots from the museum visit:

    Olga and Gilliatt your pictures are great as always.

    ''Ladder for Booker T. Washington" is very unique and it seems taller than it really is.

    Thanks Snowqueen.
    The ladder gently tapers as it rises creating the illusion that it is taller than it really is. Infinite in length.

    I just realized I forgot to tag the building photo. The reflecting pool and the building elements to the left of the photo are part Tadao Ando's (architect) Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth Texas.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadao_Ando


    Here is a photo (not mine) showing the overall view of the Vortex sculpture with the Modern Art Museum in the background:



    The sculpture is constructed of thick weathering steel commonly referred to as "Cor-ten". After the initial layer of rust develops, the corrosion stabilizes therefore eliiminating continued corrsion and unsightly rust stains on adjacent surfaces.

    Little or no artistic merit in this pic, but look what happens when you hit someone at 60 MPH!



    Ouch!

    My wife mentioned they had celebrated Diwali at the office. I wasn't familiar with it until then. Your photos have a relaxing aura about them.

    Thanks for the fall colors. We had such a dry, hot summer, I doubt we will get much color this year.

    Hope you walked away unscathed.
