These iron shoes are on the Danube Promenade right at the Parliament Building. It is a memorial to the Budapest Jews who fell victim to the Arrow Cross militiamen in Budapest and depicts their shoes left behind on the bank when they fell into the river after having been shot during World War II.
Those who are regulars here will know it’s me and my favourite Budapest architecture ;) haha, well, I’m never tired of it – be it foggy or with a bright sun-shining on this building, I am always fascinated by the different faces of this special architecture! :)
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.

Talking heads on the tramway…having the building of the Budapest Parliament in the background. Marcsi preached me why so many photos taken with phone-camera. Why? Why? Because I was busy:)

Foggy. And today, my favourite architecture in Budapest looked exactly like this on the photo. Part of living in this city is seeing this beautiful Budapest Parliament in different perspective each time I cross the Margit Hid via tram 4 or tram 6. See how the sun rays are fighting to break through this cold winter of 1 deg C :)

The best is to start the New Year with a wonderful Budapest photo. I have chosen for this theme day Gallmese’s wonderful early morning picture which I posted in 2008 february .

Weak sunshine, almost empy restaurants at the Danube Bank. This is obviously the end of the season.

In a co-operation with the www.hungarystartshere.com site, starting from today, there will be a new Budapest Quiz. Maybe some of you still remember that last year, Meg (Nelson Daily Photo) and Jazzy (Tuzla Daily Photo) had both won a box of Szamos Marcipán each. This year, we (Zannnie and Zsolt) will offer to the winner a bottle of Tokaji Wine and the www.hungarystartshere.com portal offers one of their Hungary guide books in English.
See more details here.
The question of the third week is available here:
3. For how long was the Parliament Building built?
A, it is still under construction
B, for 11 years (1885-1896)
C, for 19 years (1885-1904)
We post new questions every week. It means for 7 days, we post the same question then we publish the next one. Such way you have a week to find us and to find the right answer:) If you answered this question already, you need not send it again!
