Decided to follow suit. Hope you'll forgive me for cheating - but at least there is no 'hole' in the flow of things.
Last year Budapest had undergone a substantial flood. The roads along both sides of the Danube were closed and the water kept coming until it was even level with Margaret Island. What that meant for Pest, as you can see, was that the steps of the Parliament building were in the Danube.
This little building is the ticket office for the Danube sightseeing boats on the bank. As you can see the water came up to the middle of its doorway, covered the road next to it entirely - leaving Budapest wondering 'how much more'?

I forgot to answer your question! Yes, the painting on my banner are mine. Those are mostly the faces of childen I have love from the Missions we support. The first painting, the girl in the white dress is one I did recently, and thought she would add to the banner! And thank you for your gracious compliment.
Wow, that was quite a flood indeed.
Thanks for your recent visit to my blog. You're welcome back anytime.
Wow! That was a major flood. I don't mind seeing "past" photos.

Thanks for visiting my blog.
No matter what you post, I'm just glad to see an entry from you. So I know you are OK.
But yes, it must have been quite a flood!

Thank you for visiting my blog! That sure was a lot of water! We are so dry here.... but did get some rain last night. I would love for you to visit again.
Thank you all for visiting and for being so kind. This is a great deal of fun. :)
Found 2 other photos to go with this on the machine in my office - here you can see the ship restaurant and the ramp of the LancHid.
