“Located in Budapest on the east bank of the Danube, this building known as "House of the Nation" in Hungarian, was designed by Hungarian architect Imre Steindl, and opened in 1902. His design was chosen due to its strong resemblance to the Palace of Westminster in London, and the desire of the 19th century politicians to reflect their commitment to Western Europe. Its construction includes 40 million bricks, half a million precious stones and 40kg of gold. I was taken by the beauty of this building and the reflections in the water. The photograph was taken during the departure of a Danube river cruise at sunset.”
