Thanks, Aram, for your kind words.

Very pretty bridge and very well captured. Looks like it could be in------
London, but since it was designed by an Englishman, I guess that is not
surprising.

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.
