Szent Istvan Bazilika

Szent Istvan Bazilika (zoomed)

Personally I like to look at the details of the architectures besides its entirety. That’s the true beauty. I moved closer. Then a young lad came up to me and started to introduce (promote) a folklore of the Hungarians just before I took this shot.
Maybe some of you would be curious to see how the zoomed out view of the Basilica shot by me looks like:) Could you see? The detailing seemed to be telling a story amongst the 13 characters…What do you think could be the story?;)

    While I don’t know if Hungry celebrates Thanksgiving the same as we do, I wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving in any case. Thanks for all the kind words you have posted at my site over the past few months!

    I just realized I have been looking at your old site, thinking you have been on vacation or something!

  4. The zoomed out view is very impressive. The architecture in Budapest must be exciting to you. It seems so different from Singapore.

  5. I don’t know the story, but I love the lamppost to the left of the basilica in the long shot! Beautiful. So delicate.

    ohhh, you reckoned it is the story about the ‘three kings’?:)

    that’s a very beautifully done lamp, huge too:)

    Thank you everyone….for your kind comments;)

  7. I presume that the architecture represents a reunion dinner of a Royal family on the special occasion, i.e Christmas. The female host is making a speach to the famil, as well as blessing her new borned grandson.
