August 20th is the greatest national holiday for Hungarians, celebrated with day-long festivities followed by spectacular fireworks throughout the country. August 20th commemorates the foundation of the Hungarian state, it’s like Hungary’s 4th of July. Also called as St. Stephen’s Day, remembering Stephen I, the first king of Hungary and founder of the Kingdom of Hungary, who was canonized on August 20th, 1083 by Pope Gregory VII. Festivities start in the morning with the raising of the Hungarian flag and continue on all day long, culminating in a spectacular fireworks display over the Danube.
This image features the parliament building in Budapest, Hungary. In the early summer months the ambient light from the sunrise begins around 4am offering a soft glow of light for an extended period of time. The orange sky and soft color of the water give me a sense of calmness and tranquility. Enjoy:)

The famous Hungarian Csepel Factory, or what remained of it from its glory days, but it is still an impressive industrial zone on the bank of the Danube.
It was the last day of our company trip before we flew back to our respective homes in different countries. A group of us decided to walk around the beautiful city of Budapest, and we went up a hill to get a bird’s eye view of the city. The hike was pretty tiring, but the view we were rewarded with was so worth it.
There were so many times when I found myself in a lucky position in Budapest. There were so many one-in-a-million shots that I never thought I would get. This was one of them. I was standing in the courtyard of the Buda Castle, taking photos of the Pest skyline below, when a flock of birds filled up the sky above.
Modern balconies with green glass clover gives a very jazzy rhythm to the front of the building.
Republic vs Monarchy. Hungary has its history being a Monarchy for almost a thousand years, then we dropped the Kingdom from the name and picked up the Republic. On the left the Building of the Parliament was built at the beginning of the 20th century, on the opposite side of the Danube, looking straight up to the Buda Castle Hill, where the kings were before.
Sunset at the blue, calm Danube. After the golden hour, before the blue hour. The surface of the water was still similar to a lake, calm and clean.
Sunset, portrayed as it should be. A beautiful moment captured through the lens.
Took this picture around Christmas , it was 8 P.M and the whole city was so quiet.
There is a now somehow abandoned park at the outskirts of Budapest called Olympic Park. At the top of the hill there is the olympic sign created from bushes. Nowadays it is hard to spot, but still you can if you know where to look.

The Long exposure shot of the beautiful parliament at Budapest, Hungary. It's hard to nail a long exposure picture from this vantage point as it always shakes/vibrates because of continous yellow Budapest public trams, so on a cold night, you wait when there is no traffic, and go for the shot.
