Just like every year there was a public water fight in central Budapest on one of the warmest days of summer. People had a chance to splash into water and cool off in a way rarely available to anyone. Events like this should be more common for the enjoyment of the participants, viewers and of course for us photographers too.

The story divides people if it is worth allowing such events, but I have to tell elephants having a bath in lake Balaton are a really special thing to see.

This weekend I photographed the pillowfight under the Millenium monument at Heroes square in Budapest, Hungary. Just like during the years before there were a lot of joyful participants enjoying the fun of the event, hitting each other until their stamina lasted. Then they cleaned up the mess caused by the feather and other stuffing released by the pillows.

Last weekend Hungary hosted this year’s Cart European Championship of the dogsled association FISTC. Because there was no snow in the whole country, all the competitors had to roll in carts.

Big pictures about the first ever rubber duck race in Budapest on river Danube. Some of them got away and probably they are on their way to the Black sea.

It took me for a while to set up this gallery, but I hope you still like to watch it. Some of the pictures have been pubished by Hungarian daily Blikk and the Daily Mail as well, but this one is a rather broader selection of my images.

This year I tried to show something special from the aerobatics show held on may day. Peter Besenyei took off with his plane from Elisabeth bridge, and Zoltan Veres flew through under Budapest’s oldest bridge Chain Bridge and performed lots of visual maneuvers. Let’s see some of my rare photos of these performances from a birds eye view!

Budapest’s Shark Zoo the Tropicarium has a tradition with the shark feeding. Easter time the scuba divers wear bunny dresses.

Looking at galleries of the winter olympics one might think that sports photographers captured everything from all possible angle. And then NASA publishes this little surprise: you can’t call it to be one example of aerial photography, not even a satelite image, because it was taken from the International Space Station.

There has been a lot of fun made of Jean Claude Van Damme performing a split on trucs what spreads on the Internet like a virus. The same time Merrylu Casselly and Rene Casselly Jr. has a quite similar performance in Circus Budapest every day on the backs of two elephants.
