Budapest in the blue hour
Statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary overlooking the city of Budapest. The 4 meter high statue is quite new, it was erected on the wall of Buda Castle in 2013. The artwork depicts Mary and the child Jesus and the child is hovering in front of his mother’s body, so depicting the mystery and the wonder of the immaculate conception.
It was New Year's Eve in 2011, when I took this photo. It was a cold winter evening, but the lights were beautiful, so I brought my camera and my tripod with me. The shot was taken in the Buda Castle, when the sun was setting over the Buda Hills.
The iconic landmark of Budapest, the former Royal Palace, now the home of two museums and the National Library.
