Description
This is a highly stylized artistic version of the view across the River Danube of Buda Castle in Budapest Hungary. It is the historical castle and palace complex of the Hungarian kings in Budapest and was first completed in 1265. Its 1000 foot long facade facing the Danube is quite impressive and is the subject of many photographers looking for a great shot! It is particularly beautiful at night when it is brilliantly lit. In the 'season' you have to search hard for a good spot for photos due to the number of cruise ships taking up much of the quayside. Here, I found a few open feet between two vessels to get this view of the facade. Buda Castle has been destroyed and rebuilt several times in its lifetime, the last time after the destruction in the Seige of Budapest in WWII. Today, the main structure of the Buda Castle is rather austere compared to its predecessors; the interior in particular is completely devoid of ornamentation and none the magnificent royal apartments have been reconstructed. But despite its lack of authenticity, the Buda Castle is still an imposing complex. Currently it is home to several museums, including the National Gallery and Budapest History Museum. It is also part of the Budapest World Heritage Site, which includes many of the bridges and historic buildings lining the Danube River in Budapest Hungary.
