[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
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.

Hello George

A very nice composition and an interesting point of view to give an idea of the beautiful architecture.
The different steeples stand out perfectly against the cloudy sky, and give relief.
The marvelous lilac in the foreground underscores the whole composition.
Great colors, and a very fine sharpness to appreciate much details.
It's very well done, excellent work.

Regards,
Karine

Hi George

A wonderful splash of violet, in the fg, fron the flowers, with a superb blue sky, & good sharpness. Well done!

Dear George Rumpler!
Amazing castle, amazing cityscape.

George,
These colors are superb.
I like a lot this sunny mood, with great view on the architecture.

George, what a beautiful spring entry, the sky line is formal and stately and in the far bg you can see the apartment blocks of modern day and it is all brought to gether by the beautiful fg that parts just enough to show the valley and give it all scale. Great capture.

This looks like a picture postcard. I like the purple flowers in the foreground and it looks like the perfect summer day. Great sharp details throughout for this pretty shot.

Wanda

The view is breathtaking. I like this clarity with very good coloures. Well done.
Best wishes,

good vivid colours, a lot of interesting details, but i think by watching some parts of the photo that it's quite oversharpened, the POV is well choosen,

Bonjour George,
une bien belle carte postale touristique avec un arrière plan architectural bienn rempli et un avant plan floral bien agréable et coloré.
On remarque bien aussi à l'arrière plan des implantations modernes moins esthétiques.
Regards.
Daniel

I can see there in background the new buildings,but the old buildings in foreground look more fascinating
And of course the flowers in foreground are a great bonus ,giving special colors
Hugs
