Szentendre

This town of arts and museums, a cultural paradise for tourists, lies at the "gate" of the Danube Bend, at the junction of the plains and hills.
A small town with a remarkable Mediterranean atmosphere, it was repopulated by Hungarian, Serb, Dalmatian, Slovak, German and Greek settlers in the 18th century.
Memories of this resurgence are preserved to this very day in the town's southern mood, Baroque-style houses, its seven churches, cobbled streets and narrow alleyways.
Szentendre is home to the Open-air Ethnographical Museum which presents the folk architecture of Hungary's most characteristic regions as well as the lifestyles and homes of inhabitants of villages and market towns. Of the town's 22 museums the tourists' favourite is the Margit Kovács Museum. Furthermore, the Szentendre Picture Gallery and numerous other galleries record the rich past of the town and its effervescent artistic present. The recently opened ArtMill Cultural Centre offers the entire palette of Szentendre fine art in this exhibition halls.
After visiting the churches and learning their different masterpiece, guests are recommended to sample the "masterpieces" of fine dining: the close on 50 restaurants around town serve not only the finest Hungarian dishes but a wide variety of international cuisine too. There is an opportunity to just rest and enjoy a drink in the gardens of local confectionaries and cafés, or perhaps in the cellar of the Wine Museum.

Bonjour George,
voici une photo dans laquelle les lumières sont très bien capturées, et elle mettent les couleurs en avant.
Une ville très propre et calme.

Superb vivid colors and clarity, excellent POV. I like the picturesque colorful houses and the church tower on the BG of the blue sky. I have visited this charming place myself.

Hi George.

This is a really nice street scene you have captured. I really like the colours of the buildings. Also, I think you have a great composition that includes the cafe tables on the right.

Well done!

Hello George,

Very intersting notes!
You really have captured the atmosphere of this colourful street: the outdoor cafe, the social interaction, the mixed ages, the relaxed demeanours, all under the gaze of these old buildings. I love it!

It is sharp, detailed and has excellent use of the light.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

I do agree on the theme's name: szentendre is a very pitoresque town.
I like the perspective and the colours
furthermore I think it should be very pleasant to sit on the sun and enjoy some delicitous delicatesse from hungarian cuisine!

ciao
Silvio

Bonjour George
Celà fait plaisir de voir les gens installés dehors à cette saison et nous rappelle que l'on devrait aller vers des jours meilleurs. J'aime cette architecture colorée dominée par un clocher plutôt sympathique.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hello George,
A nicely lit animated scene with very good point of view. The multi-coloured façades are interesting to see and make a pleasing lead line, taking the eyes towards the church tower. Very good colours and clarity.

George, this sunny side shot works better for me than the previous shady side one. I love the colors of the European buildings adn this one displays them very well. The tables set there for the breakfast crowd are truly inviting. The note helps all this tie in as well.

Hi George,
Wonderful use of the light and superb colors. The blus of the sky, the colorful buildings and the sharpness and details look superb.
Best regards. Salvator.

Hi George,
You found superb sweet colors and got excellent sharpness of details here. The light is optimal too. Only the tower has a minor tilt due to perspective, but not disturbing.
good job
