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.

With tourists' reflection on the cage glass.
Animals left the area before Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. Archeologists found only very few animal molds, among those this dog. He was chained, and you can see the chain on his neck, so he could not leave.
Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption in AD 79 that led to the destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum and the death of 10,000 to 25,000 people.

I managed to capture no lines of people between these chain link dividers. Despite the economy, Disneyland attendance is actually up slightly compared to other theme parks.
I posted this in B/W as well because I couldn't decide which one I prefer.
This was scene yesterday at Fort Point in San Francisco. All the clarity and focus - from front to back is achieved by focus stacking - Had to take several shots - focusing from front to back and with different exposure of each shot then blending it together.
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!

Thanks for views, faves and comments! ;-)
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.
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
This is the chain attached to the rusty padlock.
It's been put there by the owner of the land to stop people parking as its by the local Station.
