The baths at night (2)

They were going to empty the pool for maintenance the next day, so we were lucky to get here when we did.

I liked this closeup of everybody enjoying themselves in the steamy water. Hungarians definitely like these kinds of baths, and they are used all year round, even in snowy weather.

What a fabulous shot. Very interesting to see these baths out in the open. It looks like a meeting place for young people.

The steam is part of the atmosphere. It looks warm indeed. Great shot !

what an amazing scene and very well captured - I might be tempted into town a lot more if meant taking clothes off not putting special ones on!
