Margaret Island (Margitsziget)

The capital's most beautiful and protected park is home to numerous rare and valuable plants that are a delight to the eye. On the Island there are also protected heritage buildings, as well as sports grounds and open-air swimming pools for leisure activities.
When the River Danube was regulated, Margaret Island evolved from several smaller islands. Today it is a 95.6 hectare area, 2,500 metres long and, at its widest part, 500 metres wide.
Its most famous plants are the vast plane trees which, in some cases measure 2 metres across. The unique maple and ash tree which have grown into one another stands at St Margaret's grave among the ruins of the former Dominican Monastery. Strollers can take a rest in the Japanese garden, in the rose garden, next to tended flower beds, or at the small wildlife park.
Margaret Island boasts several heritage sights: the protected Water Tower, Musical Well, ruins of the Franciscan church, reconstruction of the St Michael's church of the Premonstratensians. Among the many statues in the Park, there is the so-called Artists' Avenue along which there are a series of busts representing some of the great figures of Hungarian art.The Island caters for sporty people (sport and tennis grounds, the Alfréd Hajós Sport Swimming Pool, jogging track) and also for bathers (Palatinus).Margaret Island is accessible to wheelchairs. With the exception of taxis, no personal vehicle traffic is allowed on the Island. It can be reached by tram (Nos. 4, 6) or by bus (No. 26).

Hello George! Amazing autumn. Wonderful colors. Very original composition. Good POV. Well done!

Hello George,
A very appealing composition; I like the curving path receding into the distance and the inclusion of the walker who adds much to the atmosphere. The colours and clarity are very good.

Hi George, excellent autumnal view, with a beautiful carpet of red leaves, and the lonely an walking in the forest.
excellent exposure, high quality and perfect POV.
thanks, ciao

Hi George,
Soft but sharp colours and a very graphical composition. Still some green leaves on at least the closest tree.
Regards
Gunnar

Hi George
Really impressive park and really impressive photo
Colours POV and lighting are very nice
Bravo
Have a nice week my friend

Simple but nice picture. It gives the sensation of a calm walk in the park, with just a little bit of sadness.
I think that a slightly decentered subject, a bit on the left, instead of the perfect center, would have been better.

Hi George

Good use of diminishing linear perspective & lead in lines from the curved road, with marvellous Autumn colours. The solitary man adds a human element, & provides scale. Tfs!

Beautiful shot, George.
I love the perspective achieved by the curving path through the trees. Beautiful autumn colours and light. The trees look very old, and they seem to match the age of the man walking along the path. Great tranquil atmosphere. I found your notes very interesting, too.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi George, excellent, wonderful result. The place is very idyllic with the superb light control.
The pov is ideal, technically the photo is perfect.

Hi George!

The "autumn serie" continues the best way possible. Great composition, great perspective created by the path and beautiful colours. The presence of the lonely man walking adds a nice although melacholic feeling. Congratulations!

Bonsoir George
jolie scène d'automne avec de belles teintes au sol et une belle perspective du chemin. j'aime bien la présence du personnage. Belle photo.
Xavier

Szia George,
soft autumnal light and good depth with the diagonal path. A bit melancholic as your single walker moves away. But that is also autumn, time to be sometimes melancholic. Good contrasts in this one.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

What a beautiful place to visit. Great atmospher with the yellow trees. It is a very peaceful place. You captured so well with good light and colors. Very nice

J'aime bien cette photo. Personnellement j'aurais tenté de placer le marcheur un peu plus vers la gauche (décentrer). Belle couleur douce de l'automne.
André

Calme, sérénité et beauté....tout pour nous faire admirer longuement cette très belle photo. Beau travail, George!

Hello George,
Amazing capture from this beautiful park. Nice autumny scenery with very good pov and nice compo. The walker is the evidence for the fact how tiny we all are, compared to the huge dimensions of the universe.

Hello George,
voilà une belle photo d'automne avec de parfaites couleurs bien symboliques de cette saison.
Des lumières douces mais qui dégagent de bons contrastes.
Une image très fine et bien cadrée.
Bien amicalement.
