Fisherman’s Bastion is a wonderful gem on the Buda side of the Danube River in Budapest.
The structure itself is grand and ornate, while the view of Pest from the top of the attraction is equally spectacular.

On Karolinenplatz in Munich, a few minutes walk from the Odeon and the museum district, stands a black obelisk in the middle of a traffic circle. It’s made all the more dark in this dramatic late-afternoon backlight.
The monument commemorates Bavarian soldiers who fought in the era of Napoleon.

After I snapped this photo in Budapest, I had a nagging feeling I might have seen something similar before. Alas, a quick survey of my collection after I got home didn’t turn anything up … but I get the feeling that other photo is sitting on a hard drive somewhere, waiting for me to find it.

Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Berlin’s main train station, is an elegant and efficient public space.
Its mainly glass train-shed allows lots of natural light into the building.
Organization of train services (regional S-Bahn trains top floor; regional, national and international services in the basement; local U-Bahn adjacent) makes transfers simple.
The large shopping and dining plaza on the two floors between train platforms encourages foot traffic.
Abundant public spaces and public art in, on and near the property add to the attractiveness of the building.
Every modern rail hub should aspire to be as welcoming.

If you’re in Budapest on a late summer afternoon, standing near the riverside a few steps from the Hungarian Parliament building in Pest, this is what your camera might see across the Danube to the castles of Buda. Your eyes will likely do a better job 🙂
