Budapest Parliament, a photo from Budapest, West

Photographer's Note

The Palace of Westminster in part inspired the design, but a well-known Hungarian architect, Imre Steindl, laid out the plans in their entirety. The building stretches 268 meters in its length, along the Danube embankment. Ornamented with white neo-gothic turrets and arches, it forms the most outstanding landmark of the Pest side horizon. Statues of Hungarian monarchs and military commanders decorate the outer walls. The unique interior design includes huge halls, over 12,5 miles of corridors, a 96-meter high central dome, and 691 rooms. When the Parliament is not in session, all these can be visited.

Bonjour Robert,

Une image des plus classiques qui nous montre Budapest sous son plus bel angle. Le parlement possède une architecture exceptionnelle et le cours d'eau offre une diagonale parfaite dans l'image.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Robert,
A splendid picture of the Hungarian Parliament.
Your well chosen POV enables us to see the different towers and spires nicely on a row.
Beautiful colours. Great sharpness.
