Budapest's Chain Bridge at Night

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and

Searching through some old photos I stumbled upon this and thought I'd upload it. This is a photo of Budapest's Chain Bridge with Budapest Palace in the background taken during the night.

Széchenyi lánchíd or Széchenyi Chain Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. It was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Budapest, and was opened in 1849.

The bridge is named after István Széchenyi, a major supporter of its construction. At the time of its construction, it counted as a wonder of the world. It had an enormous significance in the country's economics and life. Its decorations made of cast iron, and its construction, radiating calm dignity and balance, raised it among the most beautiful industrial monuments in Europe. It became a symbol of advancement, national awakening, and the linkage between East and West.
