The Chain Bridge over the Danuber River in Budapest, connecting the Buda and Pest portions of the city separated by the Danube River
The Széchenyi Chain Bridge (Hungarian: Széchenyi lánchíd, Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈseːt͡ʃeːɲi ˈlaːnt͡shiːd]) 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 and built by the Scottish engineer Adam Clark, it was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Hungary. It 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.[citation needed] Its decorations made of cast iron, and its construction, radiating calm dignity and balance, have elevated the Chain Bridge to a high stature in Europe.[citation needed]
It became a symbol of advancement, national awakening, and the linkage between East and West

This chain is really old, and just hangs from a little hook next to the computer. I need to get more use out of this thing, as soon as I don't look weird wearing chains or necklaces or whatever they're called.

A simple pic with 3 of 5 elements in chinese metaphysical studies present, namely metal chain, wood and earth (blurred leaves on ground).
The sharp edges and squarish nature of the wood is contrasted with the smoother shape of the chain.
(acrylic) a juxtapose project between our society and romanticism. In our society today, we're constantly connected to consumerism, wanting more, we can't escape it, almost as if we're chained to consumerism.
