  1. Speaking of ice skating, thanks to the combination of climate change and being in my mid forties, I had thoughts like "I better go skating on Lake Balaton now as I might only have 2-3 chances at most in the rest of my life.

    It has thick enough ice once in about every 10 years that's safe for skating or walking nowadays (and likely getting worse unless the Atlantic current collapses earlier than predicted, in which case we will have a lot of ice skating...)

  2. Lake Balaton, 1955. Speaking of the current round of America's Cup racing, this is how you should really dress on a yacht.

  3. Balatonföldvár, 1964. August is peak summer in Hungary - known as 'cucumber season' because nothing much happens except the cucumbers grow. People leave the cities and head to Lake Balaton for summer fun: beer, lángos (deep fried flat bread), swimming - and most importantly of all for young people - holiday romances. In a week or two it is back to school and work. Ugh!

  4. Szántód, Lake Balaton, 1928. This villa on the shores of Lake Balaton is still there nearly a hundred years after this photo was taken. It is now surrounded by many trees that give shade in the hot summer months. Those that plant trees love others beside themselves, as the saying goes.
