Budapest Beauty by maggiemae

Budapest Beauty

Everywhere here, are magnificent buildings of great design and history. The statues also everywhere put the achievements of some special people to remember. Architecture, politics, music and art, war and major achievements before the rest of world even started to think!
Three good things:
1. 4 hours on a Hopon Hopoff bus or two to see and absorb this history! All with wonderful Hungarian music to listen to!
2. I twiddled a bit with the light standards - don't tell anyone!
3. I was warm with my newly bought woollen Long Johns on. Hope you know what these are!
Amazing architecture. Must be a tad chilly if you have to resort to woollen long john's!

Fab old buildings in this wonderful city. I visited once briefly when it was still under communist rule - it was immaculately clean everywhere.

Great capture. Budapest has some astonishing buildings.. when i was there the parliament building and the monument for the tribes that conquered the land to be named Hungary where the most beautiful of all.
January 4th, 2018  
@sangwann The parliament buildings have the most incredible architecture!
January 4th, 2018  
The lamppost is what took my eye first!! Lovely shape and details,
January 4th, 2018  
That’s a very splendid street light. Until recently we had nice old ones on our street but they’ve been replaced by once with no artistic merits at all.

@judithg All it takes is a bit of imagination and some helluva influence with council
January 4th, 2018  
Such magnificent architecture! You are getting to see some impressive sights on your trip!

The long established European cities are a marvel. So much artistry, skill and endeavour to demonstrate their creativity for the benefit so all. Fest on it all!

@s4sayer Exactly right, Margo - they must have had great engineers and builders in those days!
