Photographer’s Note

Veszprém

Veszprém with 59,000 inhabitants lies in the central Transdanubian region, at the meeting-point of the Bakony Hills and the Balaton Uplands.
The history of the city goes back to the Hungarian settlement of the country in the ninth century, when Veszprém belonged to the estate of the ruling family; it became the City of Queens thanks to Giselle, the consort of Hungary´s first king, St. Stephen and in 1001 it grew to be one of the most significant centres of the Catholic Church as the bishop´s seat. Historic documents mention St. Michael´s Cathedral, situated in the castle surrounded by wonderfully preserved baroque buildings, as the first and oldest cathedral in the country. The Catholic Church has remained a vital force in the life of Veszprém as our city has been an archbishopric since 1993.
Veszprém is known for a vivid cultural life throughout the year. Three theatres and a whole series of festivals provide entertainment to inhabitants and visitors alike all year round. Besides the cultural events and the historic sights you can find here the Kittenberger Kálmán Botanical Garden and Zoo Park of well-deserved European fame.
The castle was built in the 10th-11th centuries on one of the seven hills of Veszprém. The castle district later gained a Baroque character. Most sights, including excellent lookouts and important cultural venues, are clustered here.

The encircling wall that embraces Castle Hill is almost the only remaining testament to the former fortress. There are, however, an abundance of historic buildings here in the castle district. Giselle, the first Hungarian queen consort, established Hungary's oldest cathedral. That building was destroyed but its Romanesque-style foundations and Gothic sanctuary and undercroft were integrated into the neo-Romanesque St Michael's Church. The chapel named after Giselle is a famous work from the Árpád Age architectural era and has a Gothic mural.

George, another fine shot from this lovely city. Your handling of the colors and shadows is really fine. I can see some patterens in the roof tiles at the end of the street, probably an artifact of the small post size and the large amount of detail in the photo. Anyway, nice shot overall.

Greg

Bonjour George,
toujours aussi nettes et propres ces rues hongroises. Un pays qui a su garder beaucoup de charme des architectures passées, harmonieuses.
Le délabrement de certaines façades ne gêne même pas.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hi George,

Colorful, well contratsed facades and well fixed POV creates a splendid perspective in your crystal clear taken frame. Perfect addition of visitors while walking in shadow. Playing children on street are giving extra clues about how tranquilize place there is. Congratulations.

Szia George
Beautiful place, but even better how you composed this image. Nice pastel shades on the houses lining the street, the strong shadows & the couple add a lot to the scene. Even the clouds & the window of blue sky add to the beauty. Good work!
Best Regards
