Colours of Szentendre (on sunny side) Photo

Photographer’s Note

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.

George, nice shot, interesting mix of young and old on the bench there, shows the transitional temperatures of spring where people were wildly different amounts of clothing. The shot is colorful and very friendly feeling, well seen.

Hi George,
Another one from this lovely town. There is an interesting mix of different architextural styles. I guess I would prefer less shadow, but details are clearly visible both on the sun and shadow.

Hello George,

Colorful facades of old buildings and cobblestoned alley is creating warm atmosphere and invites to sit and rest there. I prefer cellar of Wine Museum after completing my walk. Relaxed visitors, rich ornaments and contrasted colors are great. Perfect clarity and natural colors in very good sharpness as usual. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

Szia George,
warm street scene with a good balance of light and good colours on both sides :-) I like the perspective creating a good depth supported by the border of shadow and light. And I miss a bit the top of the gable of the yellow house.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello George,

There is nothing more pleasant than enjoying a stroll along the narrow streets of old European towns. The view here is clear and the atmosphere of the place is well enhanced by the colours. Beautiful place! Thanks.
