Nostalgic bandstand, Vac Photo

Photographer’s Note

This bandstand appropriate not just for relaxing but a superb place to organize open-air concerts. Under its roofing there are several bells, able to perform many carillion, for example no.9 symphony of Beethoven.

March 15th Square (Március 15. tér)

It has been the city centre since the Middle Ages. During the 18th century some of the most impressive Baroque public buildings and private homes were built on this virtually triangular square. There is a cellar complex under the square which dates back to the Middle Ages.
Some of the most prominent Baroque buildings located on the square are: Hospital and Chapel of the Hospitaller Order (Irgalmas Rend), Town Hall (városháza), Greek Orthodox Church (görög templom), Dominican Church (Fehérek temploma) and the former Dominican Monastery (domonkos rendház), the former Hotel Kúria, the National Institute for the Deaf and Mute (Siketnémák Intézete), and the Palace of the Grand Prepost (Nagypréposti Palota), which is also home to the Diocesan Museum of Vác (Egyházmegyei Múzeum).

Vác

One of the most attractive Hungarian Baroque cities boasts a past dating back to the Bronze Age. It has been a centre of Catholic faith and a diocesan town for centuries.
The foundation of the diocese of Vác is unanimously attributed by historians to the first Hungarian king, St Stephen I. The completion of the bishop's cathedral is also associated with Géza I and, according to this monarch's wishes he was burried here. The interior decoration of the cathedral dates from the time of King St Ladislaus (László). The cathedral stands next to the bishop's palace together with the canon homes and a military barrack on what is today called King Géza Square (Géza király tér). The historic central area of Vác developed in the early 18th century when the once segregated German and Hungarian districts began to merge with one another while maintaining the original medieval town plan. Today the city is the cultural and commercial centre of the left bank of the Danube bend and the most visited tourist destination.

Hello George,
A nice capture of this lovely square and its fine bandstand. I like the use of the vertical format and the long perspective, which is heightened by the inclusion of the table and chairs in the foreground. These also add to the atmosphere. Good natural colours under a fine light and excellent clarity.

Hi George, A rather unusual pavilion, very modern in it's construction, the brilliant strong light throws out some nice shadow, the colours are vivid & wonderfully sharp. TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Hi again George,

It lacks an umbrella because I think the sun should be strong. I love this composition both in the composition of the image in its finesse. The colors are soft and very pleasant like this superb light. The peaceful aspect of this place is great. Beautiful and interesting photo, thank you George.

With all my friendships and with soon

Jean-Charles
