Galambok - is in hungarian pigeons
szeretkeznek - means they make love, love each other,
As I was in Cluj, my birth and adolescence town, and my mother language is hungarian, and I found them on the bord of my childhood river near my old street, I left the name like I put initially (reverting for a time to the language of my youth)
This is a treatment of the original image. First in Photoshop element, selecting them and making the background grey and more contrasted, then in Picassa a bit too.

It is the lake and house where in Kolozsvàr, then Cluj, I learned to canoe and to skite. I went back after 40 years in june, when I took this photo. Looking at it, I still feel I am not more then 70 but 7 years old and my heart, as then goes faster.

That is the house my mother was born and grew up with her sister and brother, later, my grand dad constructed a house at the same place but on the top of the hill, this one is down the street nearer to the river Small Samos.
No one I knew lived there any more when I was child. But for my mother, my uncle and tante, this was their youth's house. And it is before this house, she met my father, a pal of her youngest uncle.
I have born, in the same city, a smaller house's apartment.

When I was good (or even bad sometimes) my parents gave me some cents to buy a bonbon or two, there. It still sells bonbon by number.

Different Entrances but all from old times when horses had to go in the courtyard... Riga is an old town also (in some parts of it) I do love those entrances, some of them remind me of those found in the centre of my birthtown, Kolozsvàr (now called Cluj-Napoca) who is also an old town, also not so big as Riga.
