Budapest, Hungary #137

Budapest is the crown jewel of the river Danube. She is a magnificent cosmopolitan city, the capital of Hungary in Central Europe. The river Danube divides the hills of Buda and the plain of Pest. You can walk  hours to discover the Royal Castle in Buda or the boulevards, avenues and squares of Pest.

Here are a couple of pictures just to get an idea about the magic of this wonderful metropolis.

City Quote # 262

Budapest, the jewel of Danube

“This City is what it is because our citizens are what they are.”
PLATO

This summer I visited the Hungarian capital, Budapest. The river Danube crosses the heart of the city, dividing Pest and Buda. Walking on the Pest side of the Danube I had seen a spectacular sunset over the Buda side. You can see the Chain Bridge across the river.

New York Air Aphorism #64 NYC/1

Hi Everyone,
I am launching a series of my photographs about the way I see NYC. Will contribute a new shot every week or so to this upcoming portfolio. Start with more conventional captures and then venture to be a little different. Spent a couple of days to celebrate my brother-in-law in the city in 2011 and nearly suffered a visual overload. You simply cannot exhaust the possibilities to find something unique in the Big Apple. As I did in the past, I try to connect each shot with a quote.

Be my judge. Invite you for a journey. Your comments or remarks are welcome.
Cheers,
Robert
