Taken just a few dozen meters down river from where I photographed the Buda
Castle, is this shot of the Széchenyi Chain Bridge - using the same technique
of simply resting the camera on the rounded top of a steel fence post.
Designed by English engineer William Tierney Clark and built by Scottish
engineer Adam Clark, it was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in
Hungary. The bridge was named for István Széchenyi, a major supporter of its
construction, but is commonly known as the "Chain Bridge".
The bridge's cast-iron structure was updated and strengthened in 1914. In World
War II, the bridge was blown up on 18 January 1945 by the retreating Germans
during the Siege of Budapest, with only the towers remaining. It was rebuilt,
and reopened in 1949.
