Photo of the day: Chain Bridge


There is something magical about Budapest on a warm summer night, especially down by the Danube, where all of the city lights reflect up off the water.  Last night I took a bike ride with a friend along the banks of the river, from the Pest side over to Buda, past the castle hill, on down to the Citadel and then back across and up the other side.  This is a shot of the Chain Bridge, one of the most famous landmarks in the city, built in 1849.  This was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Budapest.  It is nights like this that make this city such a wonderful place to spend some time...
