The main reason I chosen this week to visit Budapest were the St. Stephens day celebrations in Budapest, which are finished by a big fireworks show over the Danube. Unluckily, the day of the fireworks there was a very heavy wind during the whole day, which made even standing still a problem. And as I was by the citadel, the highest spot above the city, the wind there was even stronger. But luckily I got few nice photos anyway. This is the first one, and in the coming weeks I will share more.

And I’m back from Budapest. It was a great week, mostly with great weather, filled with great photo locations and meeting with great people. I’m just completely tired from the lack of sleep I had most of the week.

But not to miss a daily post, here is the first edited photo from this trip. This one was taken at the Parisi Udvar, a not used shopping street, which will hopefully be reconstructed. It just looks too good to let it be in this desolated state. You can see a behind the camera shot on the side. I posted a lot like this on FB during the week, and will also share few of them here.

While in Prague, I searched for a location I haven’t visited yet during sunrise. And the one that came to my mind were the castle stair. I just forgot how many stairs there were, which I got reminded of very quickly at 5 in the morning. But it didn’t stopped me and I got to the top of them to get a photo :)

It so great for photos, when the city center is right next to a river. You get so many nice reflection everywhere :)

One just cant return from Prague without more photos of the Prague castle. It’s just so dominantly placed above the city. Anywhere you shoot, you just pass a nice view of it eventually.
