This building is a demonstration in the Museum of Transportation in Budapest. A typical K.u.K (Kaiserlich und Königlich) railway station from the age of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The funny is that a lot of railway stations look like this even nowdays in Hungary.

I showed this building from an other angle few days ago. A moment without traffic on a sunday afternoon in Budapest.

This silent street looks like being somewhere in a little town not in a large metropolis. In fact this quite close to the area of the Budapest centrum.

The Parliament Building from a different angle. Most of the shots are taken from the Buda Castle or from the Batthyány square. This one was taken from the Buda side of the Margaret bridge.

The Blaha Lujza square on a gray winter day. I had to be quick with this photo since I was standing at the red lamp.

I like the way the light is reflecting on the facade of this building. This is on the Margit körút very close to the Margarete Bridge.
This is the House of Terror and I (Zannnie) have decided not to rotate it and just wanna present it the way I’ve shot it :) Do you like this angle too?
In a way, this photo marks the 900th post. It means there are 900 different daily pics about BUDAPEST since we started this photo blogging journey and we’ve joined the city daily photo community for more than 2 years!

Between 13th and 18th of August the SZIGET Festival brings some noise to Budapest. These painted tires are perfect chairs, I tried them:) Get some impressions of the festival here.

This is the first time on a boat ride on the Danube for me. We went to the Sziget Festival like this. The saturation on this photo is somehow strange and honestly I didn’t touch the settings at all using photoshop or any photo tuning software. This direction is towards the Island Obudai on the Danube :) Do you remember the waltz tune the blue Danube? This is how blue it can get :)

There was a new Simultaneous Kissing World Guinness Record at the Sziget Festival on Sunday and it’s another record breaking event! Ha, Hungary broke the record with 7 451 couples kissing for 10 seconds! Wow :)
Are there any recent guinness record breaking news in your city (or country)?:)

13 August 2007
Budapest – The organisers of a kissing event in Budapest said on Monday that they have earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most number of couples locking lips at the same time.
They said they would submit video footage and documentation showing 7 451 couples were locked in simultaneous buccal bonding for 10 seconds on Sunday, during a week-long Sziget music festival.
The marathon mouth-meeting session was the latest saliva-laced salvo in a running rivalry between Hungary and the Philippines for the kissing crown.
Filipinos set the Guinness world record in February 2004 with 5 327 couples, only to be overtaken by 5 875 couples in 2005.
The Asian country came back in February this year, with 6 124 couples playing tonsil hockey in Manila to regain the record – but Hungary smacked them down again in June, when it produced 6 613 smooching couples.
With the latest effort, Hungary figures they have clinched the record for some time to come.
“We thought that here at the Sziget festival we can set a record which the Filipinos will not be able to beat. We’d like it if this record now belonged to Hungarians for good,” said Zsuzsa Simon of the tabloid daily Bors, which organised the event. – Sapa-AFP

I saw this at the Sziget Festival and it looked funny to me :) If only all the bins are illustrated with a touch of humour, it would probably make the streets more interesting looking. Just like how I felt about the mailbox in Singapore, perhaps it will be an attraction for Hungary to start a campaign like that. Do you have funny looking public property like this?
Wish you a fun week ahead!
