View of the Danube river and Pest to the east as seen from Fisherman’s Bastion Budapest .
The Halászbástya Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈhɒlaːzbaːʃcɒ] or Fisherman's Bastion is a terrace in neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque style situated on the Buda bank of the Danube, on the Castle hill in Budapest, around Matthias Church. It was designed and built between 1895 and 1902 on the plans of Frigyes Schulek. Construction of the bastion destabilised the foundations of the neighbouring 13th century Dominican Church which had to be pulled down.[1] Between 1947–48, the son of Frigyes Schulek, János Schulek, conducted the other restoration project after its near destruction during World War II.

Annually on 20th August the Hungarian Air Force performs a series of flypasts and flying displays over the River Danube in Budapest to mark their national day, St. Stephen's Day.

It was a foggy December night when I caught this shot of the Chain Bridge across the Danube River. The Hungarian National Gallery is on the hill behind the bridge.

Budapest, Hungary’s capital, is bisected by the River Danube.
Its 19th-century Chain Bridge connects the hilly Buda district with flat Pest.
A funicular runs up Castle Hill to Buda’s Old Town, where the Budapest History Museum traces city life from Roman times onward.
Trinity Square is home to 13th-century Matthias Church and the turrets of the Fishermen’s Bastion, which offer sweeping views.
I know I've posted a lot of images of this building. I was enamored with it. We were spending only 1 night in Budapest and I wanted to get out shooting.
Literally 24 hours after the alarm went off - we arrived in Budapest - maybe a couple hours of sleep on one of flights, then we spent the day in Budapest. 3 of us went out to see the night lights in the evening. At some point I said, I want to shoot the front of the Parliament, but this was a little bit of a walk from where we were and even further from where we were staying. The other 2 were tired and headed back.
I was so glad I stayed out, After I took this shot I was able to shoot (among others) these 2 previously posted shots which I don't think I would have taken had I returned... Chain Bridge, Liberty Bridge. The shots would have been different had there been crowds.
About 43 hours after I got up I finally got to bed. It is amazing the effect adrenaline can have on your body.
Belgrade Fortress stands on top of a cliff overlooking the confluence of the Sava and the Danube.
This is the last raised ground in the Balkan Peninsula before the vast stretch of flatland of the Pannonian Basin, extending all the way to Central Europe. The Fortress controls the access to the Pannonian Basin and the navigation on the Sava and the Danube, a position of outstanding strategic importance.
It served to guard the border between the Roman Empire and barbarian lands across the Danube and the border between the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires, to name a few, which explains why it was so often destroyed, rebuilt and redesigned.

"The Blue Church" - The Church of St. Elizabeth aka Blue Church is a Hungarian-Secessionist Catholic church located in the eastern part of the Old Town. It is consecrated to Elisabeth of Hungary, daughter of Andrew II, who grew up in the Pressburg Castle. It is referred to as "The Little Blue Church" because of the color of its façade, mosaics, majolicas and blue-glazed roof. It was initially part of the neighboring gymnázium (high school) and served as the school chapel.

I shot this using HDR bracketing—blending a few exposures to catch the full range of light and shadow. The sun was just slipping behind the Carpathian hills, pouring gold over the Danube and the city skyline. Boats floated quietly below, buildings soaked in the last warmth of the day. There was something still and beautiful about it all—like the city was taking a deep breath before nightfall

The city of Esztergom with it's massive basilica, sitting high above the town and Danube River, in Hungary is an incredible sight. Rising out of what seems like nowhere in a rural stretch of country.
Budapest and its endless sights. This was taken at Fisherman's Bastion pointed to Hungarian Parliament Building in the other side of the Danube.
