Evan and I are home from our travels. Both of us agree that of the three cities we
visited, Budapest, Vienna and Prague, we liked Budapest the best. The others are no slouches, mind you, but
there was something very charming about Budapest. I’m not sure if it was the beautiful (and sometimes
stunning) waterfront, the easy subway accessibility or the friendly people that
did it for me, but I really enjoyed being there.
We got in around 11 am their time after flying all
night. So after checking in to our hotel
and taking a brief nap, we figured the best way to spend what we could manage
of our first afternoon was to take a boat ride.
We actually enjoyed the boat ride so much, that we went back on our last
evening there and cruised through Budapest in the dark. So to get started, here are some pics I took
as we floated down the Danube admiring the sights in Budapest.

These are amazing images. Thank you for this beauty. Please have a good Tuesday you all.
Oh my gosh these pictures are stunning, I would love to go there, and I love this first picture that you started the blog with, very artistic. How long were you there?
WoW, beautiful bridges and amazing night-time images.
i do like the toast, it looks refreshing and like it was much needed!!
above composition, i have to applaud you for your decisiveness. composition saves everyone, even a first time camera holder from being crap and flop.
but decisiveness, knowing what to shoot and what to ignore, knowing the right moment and the right atmosphere, that i guess is what defines the word "innate".
want to go there too, but i guess i'll just look at your pics the second time around.
