Mellownoon

Mellownoon / 2020 /

If anyone asked what kind of place I choose to visit when I seek absolute calmness and relaxation, I would most probably say Lake Balaton. I believe I could watch and listen to the even waving of water, the play of mixed lights and colours spreaded on its surface and the waves crashing against the shore forever.

My close relationship to the lake partly derives from the fact that I spent my entire childhood at Balaton.

Walking and bathing at the lake and observing the lights of sunset on the surface of the water were all as naturally part of my everydays as reading a fable at night.

After a long time this year (2020) I had the chance to spend an entire summer at this lake.

This opportunity let me enjoy again the long, chilled mornings, the monotonous voice of the vendor selling boiled corn on the cob and chimney cake, the runs of wild ducks, the diverse play of flying swallows in the evening breeze and the wonderful sunsets at the lakeside.

My photo series titled "Mellownoon" is a manifestation of all these collective experiences during one of the most unusual summertimes of my life.
