Hungary - Budapest - Sunrise over The Hungarian Parliament

    The Hungarian Parliament Building (Hungarian: Országház, literally country house) is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary, one of Europe's oldest legislative buildings, a notable landmark of Hungary and a popular tourist destination of Budapest. It lies in Lajos Kossuth Square, on the bank of the Danube, in Budapest. It is currently the largest building in Hungary. Similar to the Palace of Westminster, the Parliament Building is in the Gothic Revival style; it has a symmetrical facade and a central dome. It is 268 m (879 ft) long and 123 m (404 ft) wide. Its interior includes 10 courtyards, 13 passenger and freight elevators, 27 gates, 29 staircases and 691 rooms (including more than 200 offices). With its height of 96 m (315 ft), it is one of the two tallest buildings in Budapest, along with Saint Stephen's Basilica. The number 96 refers to the nation's millennium, 1896, and the conquest of the later Kingdom of Hungary in 896. The main façade faces the River Danube, but the official main entrance is from the square in front of the building. Inside and outside, there are altogether 242 sculptures on the walls.

    Yet again, 1000000 times captured building.. if you wanna come up with something new, it is very difficult.. what you can do, is give it a try... this is a result of 3.30AM wake up call and some luck in a wonderful morning weather. I'm really pleased with this shot.

    Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II; Lens: 24.00 - 105.00 mm; Focal length: 28.00 mm; Aperture: 22; Exposure time: 5.0 s; ISO: 50

      The usual shot is from the Pest side, so this one is kind of new. In any case, it is beautifull and yours. And that's what counts I assume.
