Our 'adventures' became quite short range lately. It's just another way to save gas, after all... But at least we explore our closer neighbourhood. Now we mostly ride to hike, or hike without a ride. But at least this way I can really upload pictures of Hungary and don't have to say anything when someone say they'd like to do trips in Hungary. So this time it won't be Austria, won't be Slovenia, nor Poland: these pictures are inside a ~40km radius from here.
I think I start with the closest: it's our very lake. I took the picture from our very trail, ~200m from home:
A few different take of the same lake, from different hills around:
Grazing flock at Bakonycsernye, a nearby village:
The edge of the plateau of Tés:
Some autumn flowers:
Now I make a sport of going as far from home as I can maintaining the visibility. Our house can be (or should be) seen on these pictures. Sometimes it's sub-pixel sized so don't look for it too hard
On the last picture even I couldn't find it, next time I'll take the 300mm pipe with me
It was taken from the top of this 'gazebo':
It's on the top of the second highest point of the county, which is at the other side of the big valley that divides two mountain ranges. We're on the Bakony side, while this concrete tower is on the top of the Csóka-hegy (Jackdaw Mountain) of Vértes. Down there is the town of Bodajk, we live somewhere behind that
More hills, another lake:
Zsidó-hegy (Jew Hill) at Pázmánd:
I rarely compose people in my pictures (ok, hikers are there in the last one too), but this time I just had to:
And the same range, at the next village, with (shiNIN and) more hills and the mentioned lake:
I happened to forget to take hiking boots on this trip, so I walked all the 20km in my riding boots. I didn't enjoy that part
We've found some interesting (and edible) mushrooms on this hike, which opened a new world for us. I could upload many mushroom pictures too (which I took since then), but they would really be off topic here
OTOH, it did never really bother me
On a sidenote, my camera (what I've had since the February of 2005) is acting up lately. I could even say it's outright dying. Now the auto focus is off, metering is completely dead, and even the trigger button is moody... we're on too tight budget to replace it now, but eventually I'll do. Now I guesstimate-then-correct the exposure and use manual focus, so don't expect too many caught moments or glorious bird photography
