I really do not know what the exact situation is with global warning, but it is a fact that in Hungary this winter was cold, long, full of ice and snow.
Okay, it was beautiful, but hopefully we are approaching the last days of it now .
During the dark and long winter evenings I had time to get round to collecting professional photos about the Hungarian winter from the website of the national news agency (MTI) from October until now.
Well, looking through these photos I believe this is not a bad a selection.
