Snow in the City

It's a beautiful morning in Budapest where I'm currently sitting in a cafe and looking out the window at the first snowfall of the year.  Winter has arrived!


I've made Budapest my second home for the last ten years, and am currently enjoying another extended stay here.  I arrived in August in the middle of a heat wave.  Now I've seen the entire change of seasons, though a glorious fall and into winter.


I'm living in the Seventh District, which is the historic Jewish quarter.  It's got a ton of character, all of which is highlighted by a coating of white.


This morning I walked around the neighborhood, snapping some pics of the streets and a few small parks.


This is a gritty, urban environment, but I have to admit, I do love the place.


And it's hard to beat settling in to a cozy cafe, with a warm latte, looking out the window as the fresh snowflakes drift down.  For me, it's the perfect writing weather.


And now, time to settle in and get a bit of work done!

Update: Ok, I couldn't resist a few more:



And that's all... :-)
