Hello from Budapest on a lovely spring day. I'm here settled in for another spell, working on my latest Nathan Grant novel, "London on Fire." I started coming here to Budapest all the way back in 2009 and have spent part of each year here ever since. I find that it's a great place to write, with tons of atmospheric cafes and libraries to settle in and get my work done.
The first year I arrived, fourteen years ago now, I took a bunch of photos of some of the more run down sights in the city, but a lot of those places have been fixed up in the meantime. As a result, I decided to make it a project to go around and take photos in the same places for a before and after view. Here they are, I hope you enjoy them!
