This stretch of the Danube has been the location of human settlement since the Palaeolithic. It was the site of the Roman city of Aquincum, situated to the north of the inscribed property which comprises parts of two originally quite separate cities: Buda on the spur on the right bank and Pest on the plain on the left bank. Pest was the first medieval urban centre, devastated in 1241-2. A few years later the castle of Buda was built on a rocky spur on the right bank by King Bela IV. Thereafter, the city reflected the history of the Hungarian monarchy. After the end of the Turkish occupation, recovery did not really begin until the 18th century. In the 19th century, the city’s role as a capital was enhanced by the foundation of the Hungarian Academy, housed from 1862 in a neo-renaissance palace, and by the construction of the imposing neo-gothic Parliament building (1884–1904). W.T. Clark’s suspension bridge, finalised in 1849, symbolised the reunification of Buda and Pest, which did not actually come about until 1873. The symbol of the development of the city as a modern metropolis was the radial Andrássy Avenue, which was included in the property in 2002. From 1872, the Avenue radically transformed the urban structure of Pest, together with the construction of the European continent’s first underground railway beneath it in 1893-6.
As a centre for receiving and disseminating cultural influences, Budapest is an outstanding example of urban development in Central Europe, characterised by periods of devastation and revitalisation. Budapest has retained the separate structural characteristics of the former cities of Pest, Buda and Óbuda. One example thereof is the Buda Castle Quarter with its medieval and characteristically Baroque style, which are distinct from the extended and uniquely homogeneous architecture of Pest (with its historicising and art nouveau styles) which is characterised by outstanding public buildings and fitted into the ringed-radial city structure. All this is organized into a unity arising from the varied morphological characteristics of the landscape and the Danube, the two banks of which are linked by a number of bridges. The urban architectural ensemble of the Andrássy Avenue (‘The Avenue’) and its surroundings (Heroes' Square, the City Park, historic inner city districts and public buildings) are high-quality architectural and artistic realisations of principles of urbanism reflecting tendencies, which became widespread in the second part of the 19th century. The scenic view of the banks of the Danube as part of the historic urban landscape is a unique example of the harmonious interaction between human society and a natural environment characterised by varied morphological conditions (Gellért Hill with the Citadel and the Buda Hills partly covered with forests, the broad Danube river with its islands and Pest's flat terrain rising with a slight gradient).

This photo meets the rubric because it is a picture of the lake. It has a sunset and trees in it, but the main focus is the lake. I thought taking it with with the dock would look cute with the lake and sun. It is not the best picture though. It could be more straight and more in focus.
This photo was taken at Spanaway lake on December 27th 2011
Exposure- 1/100
F-stop number- f/5.2
ISO- 64
CBPA- This is my rule of thirds picture. I chose this one because it fits the description of rule of thirds. The trees and sun set are in the upper half of the picture. The sun is in the top right half of the photo. The dock is in the bottom left hand of the corner which I think is a nice object in this photo. It makes me think of a family going home from the park where they had a picnic. The water is in the bottom half of the photo leading your eye to the sun set. The water is what you call the positive space because that is the most space that is being occupied. I chose this photo because I thought it was a good picture to pick for the rule of thirds.
CBPA- I also chose this photo as emphasis. I thought it would fir because the water is an important part in this photo. It leads your eye up to the sun and trees. I think that the texture of the water which looks rough is also important cause you can see that it makes waves. This is why I chose this photo as my emphasis.
