Waiting for fireworks, a photo from Budapest, West

Photographer's Note

The highlight of the August 20th-St Stephen's Day holiday is the Fireworks launched from the ships on the Danube and from the Gellért Hill.

The dazzling show can be seen from numerous points in Budapest, and the Danube Bend, especially at the Danube bank in Pest.
The holiday ends with an impressive firework from the Gellért Hill.
The Danube embankment on the Pest side is full of people by night; everybody wants to get a good viewpoint to take pleasure in the colorful sparkles.

20th August also symbolizes a sort of closing day of summer. People get a bit of rest before the usual working days starting in September. School for the kids begins within 1-2 weeks after the holiday, as well.

Bonsoir, cher Ovidiu,
L'attente d'un feu d'artifice est toujours prenante !
En attendant, il est toujours possible de bénéficier des éclairages de la ville et du patrimoine.
De plus, l'heure bleue embellie l'ensemble joliment.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Salut,
Oarecum ciudata imagine, are ceva mister si aproape supranatural. Imi place, spectacol urban la inserat.

salut Olivier,
Bel effet avec ces monument illuminés et les passants qui attendent le feu d'artifice, jolie clarté bleutée en fond.

Hi Ovidiu,
a splendid capture at the blue hour here.
The people in foreground provide a lot of vitality to the scene, the image has a great depth, and the golden lighting of the magnificent architecture in the Gellert Hill adds a high aesthetic level to your composition.
It is a beautiful work.
Best regards,
Josep
