Calling Nostalgia

I've finally finished going through all my Budapest pictures (a year later!). Next up: Prague.

The Two Towers

Seen outside of Budapest, as we were in search of a winery out in the country.

St. Stephen's Basilica

Back to Budapest for a bit.

Back of Parliament

From my first night in Budapest, a view from the opposite side of what someone on Flickr termed the "money shot" of Parliament on the Danube. I got plenty of those, too, but I like this one a lot.

Youth Flees as Old Age Approaches

I've been going through my Budapest set, and this shot particularly struck me.

Inside the Mothership

A maze of stairwells and skylights inside a multi-level market/mall in Budapest.

Rush Hour Along the Danube

I know, I know... yet another long exposure from Europe. Call me a sucker for this kind of shot. I totally am.

Matthias Reflected

There's something about this shot that I find both very cool and very disconcerting. Your mileage may vary.

A Walk Across the Arches

At Buda Castle.

The First Lesson

At Buda Castle overlooking the city.

Matthias and the Moon

Matthias Church, Budapest.

Parliament, But Not Funkadelic

Going for the faded, hand-tinted postcard from the mid-20th Century look here.

Sundown Over the Danube

This is my favorite shot right now -- so much so that it's my new desktop picture. Budapest is one beautiful city.

Tunnel Under the Margaret Bridge

A couple of friends caught in a pedestrian tunnel underneath the Margit (Margaret) Bridge in Budapest.

Parliament on the Danube

Home just long enough to unpack, do a ton of laundry, run some errands and repack (also download a few pictures, of course). Phase 3 begins tomorrow... Meanwhile, here's a shot of the Hungarian Parliament building in Budapest, the largest Parliament in Europe.

Right now I am so tired and having so much fun, I can hardly stand it.
