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.

Hello George,
Good capture of this church tower nicely framed by the bare trees, soon to welcome the spring in earnest. The people surveilling the scene add to the atmosphere. Very good colours and clarity.

Interesting shot here George, looking across at the roof line, very nice. The color and detail is fantastic, looks like a post card, great capture.

Bonjour George,
beaucoup mieux cadrée à mon gout, dans des couleurs fortes et un soleil bien radieux, une ambiance estivale, sauf que les arbres n'ont pas encore de feuilles.

Hello George,
clever your idea to shot the bell tower between the two trunks of the trees.I like the brilliant light and the colors of the Szentendre city, although we see only the roofs of some buildings of it.The rest of the city we see it in your previous shots.Informative your note too.

Regards,Danos

Hello George,
A high impact image that resembles a modern painting. The highly saturated colours and strong contrast really works well here, and I like the twin tree at the sides of the frame. And what colours...the red and the brown are fantastic against the background of the sky.
Have a nice day.
Stella

Hi George .
A very beautiful spring scenery .
The church perfectly framed by the old trees, the people relaxing and adding life to the scenery and the lighting is perfect !
Your note is very interesting and Hungary may well be a place I would visit one day !!
Have a nice weekend
Kindest regards
Dorte.

Hello my friend,
The word spring excites my feelings and I am feeling better.In the month April the spring shows her strength and this shot is the best
for it.
Thanks a lot my friend
Costantino

Hello George,
I like framing of the church by the fine old trees with the naked branches, but that was a month ago!
The great spring light renders fine colours, and details are sharp...
A pleasant composition, and the few people out to enjoy the spring sun adds life!
Greetings,
