It has been a strange and wonderful day. Wonderful for being lucky enough to wake up early enough to see (and shoot in) the brilliant morning light and strange because upon my return to the hotel the "vibe" (for lack of a better word) had changed. It is hard to explain the phenomena of a vibe. Perhaps it is an introspective mood or sensitivity to the world around you, or perhaps it is something unseen in the air that wafts from place to place to wrap itself around unsuspecting souls as they get lost in the fog of impending emotional limbo. For today, I think that focusing inward seems to be a potential culprit. Outside ourselves, so much adventure awaits. A word of wisdom from Chucku, "the one thing all happy people have in common is that they are grateful." Today I hope you can be grateful and happy for something or someone. Life can change so unexpectedly, it is good to appreciate what we have while it's here. If you have nothing else to be grateful for, be happy for this: that you're not a dead, stuffed, and on display.

Nikuly,
I have just gone back and looked at all the images that you have posted and seen how wonderful and visually stimulating it must be there for you as a photographer. I know that these are your digital images and that your real work is with your film cameras. I know that they will be even more a collection of the true flavors of your travels. I can't wait to see them and for you to be back to show them to all that miss you. The daily stories are a way for others to feel a little bit of what it is like being there with you. I am sure that the Hungarians are also getting a taste of the Niku experience...... ;)
