Hungarian Parliament

Budapest is a wonderful city.  It is at the top of my list of places I’d like to revisit.  Here is a series of drone photos of the Parliament Building and the Buda Castle that sit along the Danube River.

Budapest Glory

I’m sure I said this in the past, but I’ll say it again.  I loved our time in Budapest.  The history, architecture, food and people are amazing.  I had a great time wandering around taking photos.  I got a chance on two nights to just explore along the Danube River by myself and captured this photo on one of those nights.  This is the Szechenyi Chain Bride with the Buda Castle in the background.  The castle is now used for the Hungarian National Gallery.  By the way, I captured this photo with my drone.  Our visit to Budapest was part of our Danube River cruise on one of Gate 1 Travel’s boats.

Bratislava Sunset

I’m so ready for a return to Europe…..but that will have to wait until next year.  Until then, I’ll just have to look at my photos from prior trips.  Here is a beautiful sunset drone photo from Bratislava Slovakia.  I loved this spot, the architecture and this city. By the way, that is the Danbue River on the left…..

Bratislava Sunset

I hope you had a great weekend.  I enjoyed my weekend hanging out with MJ and Blair.  We did some yard work, some chores and took Blair to the airport….  Nothing special, just a nice relaxing weekend with the family. 

Tonight’s photo is from the magical Bratislava Slovakia.  I loved this little city.  In this photo you can see the UFO Bridge (called that due to the odd-looking observation deck), Bratislava Castle and the Danube River.

Szechenyi Chain Bridge

We had a great river cruise down the Danube River to Budapest.  There are so many wonderful spots.  I captured this photo with my drone of the 19th-century suspension bridge connecting Buda to Pest with the Buda Castle and Palace complex in the background.  The castle housed the Hungarian Kings of Budapest.  It was completed in 1265 and was expanded/renovated in 1749 and 1769.  In the past it was referred to by Royal Palace or Royal Castle.  Today Hungary uses it for their National Gallery and History Museum.

Allegheny Cemetery

Its Memorial Day tomorrow here in the United States.  Most Americans use this three-day weekend to travel, hang out with friends, grill out and just have fun.  It’s become the unofficial start of summer vacation season for most Americans.  It was setup as a Federal holiday to remember individuals who died while serving in the military.  So regardless of your plans this weekend, have a great time. 

Today’s photo is from the Allegheny Cemetery is Pittsburgh.  I love this castle looking structure at the entrance of the cemetery.

Allegheny Cemetery

Anyone else ready for Spring?  I am!!!  I took this photo last spring at the end of a Pittsburgh photo walk.  We finished up and most people left, but Blair and I stayed a little while longer and went to this spot to check it out.  I’m glad we did.  I loved this little castle looking structure at the entrance to the cemetery (incorporated in 1844). 

So until Spring arrives, let’s just look at photos from warmer times and keep our heads up.

Castle Lager

Here is another South Africa photo for you, but not probably what you expected.  This is Castle beer which is sold everywhere in South Africa.  Based on what I saw, it has to be the bestselling beer in the country.  Castle Brewery (@castlelagersa) was founded in Johannesburg South Africa in 1894.  Today it is part of South African Breweries (SAB), which is owned by Anheuser-Busch.  My opinion…. it’s pretty good beer
