The Liberty Bridge and the Liberty Statue [PhotoChain Challenge - 36th Edition]

[trincowski]

Good night, fellow bees!

Here are a few shots of the Liberty Bridge and the Liberty Statue of Budapest. Both landmarks have their name in honour to the victims of the World War II...

This is my entry for the PhotoChain Challenge: 36th Edition, hosted by @davidesimoncini. The keywords for this week are Sculpture and Bridge, picked by the previous winners of the challenge: @tripode and myself. 😊

My personal keyword for this week is... Flag.

The Liberty Bridge is an interesting work of engineering... and art. Its top is adorned by two eagles, a few mythological figures as well as the coat of arms of Hungary.

This bridge was built at the end of the 19th century and it was originally called Bridge Franz Joseph, named after the Emperor Franz Joseph who attended its inauguration.

It was the first bridge of Budapest rebuilt after the end of World War II and it was then that it got its new name.

Here is an overall view of the bridge, with the Gellért Hill in the background...

It's at the top of the Gellért Hill where the Liberty Statue is located, having been built immediately after the World War II, as a memorial to all of the victims.

I took the chance to use the great zoom capabilities of this camera to capture the statue itself.

Below is a crop of the above image, so you can better see the details in the statue. It represents a lady holding up a giant feather. Interesting concept... 😊

Finally, I took another shot at the other side of the Danube river. After crossing to Buda, I was able to capture the bridge with the Pest part of the city in the background.

The day was hot and sunny... perfect for a walk and to take photos of the city! 😎

I hope you enjoyed these photos as much as I liked visiting Budapest. I hope I can return someday...

Awesome photos, as usual. That zoom lens of yours is something to die for lol. Glad you came up with another great entry to the PhotoChain contest. Daresay I a three-peat is in the offing.

[trincowski]

Yes, this camera has an incredible zoom for such a compact model! It amazes me what it can do, even without a tripod to stabilise the image. 🤗

Thanks for your visit.

Great photos of the bridge! Budapest is a great place. Loved that city...

[trincowski]

Me too... and I was only there for 2 nights. 😊

[ana-maria]

As usual, great photos, @trincowski!
I especially like the first one making the bridge truly imposing. 🙂

[trincowski]

Thanks, these came out pretty well! 😊

[lesmann]

I hope You get to return as well,
Absolutely Beautiful place,
and really, Really nice people!
👍🏼😁👍🏼

[trincowski]

I was told it was a dangerous city full of criminals and angry looking people. I saw nothing of that. 🤭

[lesmann]

I am sure You didn't...
There are criminals in every city,
If you present yourself as a target,
You will probably have problems...
But I don't think it's any worse than
anywhere else, and better than a lot
of other places...
Absolutely Gorgeous Women!
👍🏼😁👍🏼
Have an Awesome Sunday!
👍🏼😁🐝🌴🐝😁👍🏼

[trincowski]

Yeah, I saw some pretty ladies, too! 😊

[lesmann]

I am sure!
My ex was a German...
She was half Hungarian,
Half East German,
Beautiful, Beautiful Woman!
😁😊😁

[trincowski]

Why did you let her go? 🤭

[lesmann]

Well a lot of reasons...
But...
We have over the last little while,
become friends again - so who knows?
👍🏼😁👍🏼

[davidesimoncini]

They're pretty cool. The city has some spots for enjoying some really fantastic views! 😎
Thanks for the visit!
