The Széchenyi Chain Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. Designed by the English engineer William Tierney Clark, it was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Hungary, and was opened in 1849.
It is anchored on the Pest side of the river to Széchenyi (formerly Roosevelt) Square, adjacent to the Gresham Palace and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and on the Buda side to Adam Clark Square, near the Zero Kilometre Stone and the lower end of the Castle Hill Funicular, leading to Buda Castle.
The bridge has the name of István Széchenyi, a major supporter of its construction, attached to it, but is most commonly known as the Chain Bridge. At the time of its construction, it was regarded as one of the modern world's engineering wonders.[citation needed] It has asserted an enormous significance in the country's economic, social and cultural life, much as the Brooklyn Bridge has in New York and United States of America.

Large rusty chain attempting to flow out of the bin area and down the steps to the sunken carpark at the office. The wheel is for the dumpster for recycling cardboard.
A bit of a new direction here, thanks to Nicole (www.flickr.com/photos/42756235@N02/)

Chain ferns in the lush laurel forest on La Gomera in the Canary Islands. Each frond is about 4 feet long.
Didn't think I'd find a chain that was worth photographing for the group. ..but found this in my messy drawer... a keychain .. and with a star, too!

I had almost forgotten that I had got this necklace when I went hunting for an interesting chain for Macro Mondays. I remember admiring it in a large department store for several weeks before I had enough money to buy it back in the 1980’s. It’s not real gold or pearls but when you have had to save up to buy something you appreciate it a lot more.
1849 Chain Bridge and the 1905 St. Stephen's Basilica in the back.
This was taken near the Budapest Castle Hill Funicular. The funicular runs till 21:00 hours in winter and is €4 return (Feb 2018). You can also take the stairs and that will take about 15 min or so. The castle grounds are open 24/7. There was nobody around at the time I was there and you can take some nice shots of the bridges and the buildings on Pest.
TGIF and HFF
and to go with the title, something I found on youtube and..uh..not my kind of music, that's for sure! LOL
