Baba Time, Pt. 2
The conclusion to my Babas abroad series.
A biking Baba outside Budapest, Hungary. I was scrambling to get this one in time…
I’m mostly attracted to her Converse style. In Split, Croatia.
A conference at the bus stop. Vienna, Austria.
This is a guest submission from my Dad. He says the photo, “captures the essence of a Canadian Baba [...]
Fusion
Budapest is a fusion. It looks historic - the city is proud of its Hungarian roots and there are immaculate buildings on every street.
But if you look above those facades, you’ll see a bullet-ridden past. Some of those historic landmarks are crumbling. The drive from the airport is dotted with demolished buildings and make-shift homes [...]
Baba Time
I’m starting a series. After getting some of my photos developed from my trusty 35mm film camera, I noticed all the great Babas I had photos of. This is the first part of my “Babas From Around the World” feature. Enjoy!

The Pentland Hills are a regional [...]

Bon appetite!
Save your pence.
Edinburgh on the cheap?
It’s possible. It’s actually possible to do plenty of UK attractions on the cheap, though many North Americans like to think that travelling the UK is only for the uber-rich. And that’s true, if you stay to the high streets and Stonehenge.
Do and see: There’s so much to see outside the city [...]
Not all olives and souvlaki
How’s this for disappointment: Athens isn’t a Hellenic wonderland. It’s rough and tumble, frayed along the edges. In Marseilles, a similar atmosphere is almost embraced—it’s not somewhere you go for the typical French experience. But in Athens, it seems the tourism board is trying to mask its true colours. On brochures and posters it’s one [...]
