<p>We decided to see if we could find the statue of Columbo and his dog, so this required another tram ride from Vörösmarty Square, which was conveniently close to our hotel. I stopped to take a photo of this fountain while we were walking around the area. <br />
<br />
<i>Vörösmarty Square is one of the busiest places in the downtown section of Budapest. This area is a hubbub of activity, boasting luxury stores, antique shops, a famous pastry shop and several other retailing establishments. It is also the start of the city’s most famous shopping street, Váci Utca. Nearby stands the Lion Fountain (Oroszlános kút), a popular meeting point. Children love to climb on the lion statues, and tourists often rest on the fountain’s steps. The fountain was built in 1985 at the site of a well. It was created by László Wild and sculptor Ágnes Péter, who was responsible for the lion statues. The four stone lions surround an ornate iron lamppost, which dates from an earlier period.</i>(From aviewoncities.com)</p>

<p>Here you can see the location of the teddy sculpture - quite high on the wall! I wonder how many people walk past completely unaware!<br />
<br />
<i>Mr. Bean's Teddy in Budapest is a small bronze statue created by artist Mihály Kolodko. It is located on the wall of the former British Embassy at Harmincad utca 6, in District V, near Elizabeth Square and the Kempinski Hotel. The, sculpture is part of a series of mini-guerrilla art pieces hidden throughout the city.</i> (From Google AI)</p>

<p>ESPAÑOL<br />
Explorando la dualidad de Budapest a través de dos de sus joyas arquitectónicas más impresionantes. En este viaje, decidí simplificar mi equipo y centrarme en la narrativa visual que ofrecen dos focales muy distintas.<br />
<br />
    La Mirada Exterior: Desde los icónicos arcos del Bastión de los Pescadores, utilicé el 50mm para crear un marco natural que resalta la majestuosidad del Parlamento. La compresión del lente ayuda a equilibrar la textura de la piedra caliza en primer plano con la arquitectura gótica del fondo.<br />
<br />
    El Tesoro Interior: Al entrar en la Iglesia de San Matías, el gran angular de 10-20mm fue indispensable para capturar la magnitud de sus techos y la riqueza de sus patrones dorados. Esta perspectiva picada permite apreciar la armonía entre las columnas policromadas y la geometría del suelo.<br />

Exploring the duality of Budapest through two of its most breathtaking architectural gems. For this trip, I decided to simplify my gear and focus on the visual narrative offered by two very different focal lengths.<br />
<br />
    The Exterior Gaze: From the iconic arches of the Fisherman's Bastion, I used the 50mm to create a natural frame that highlights the majesty of the Parliament building. The lens compression helps balance the texture of the limestone in the foreground with the Gothic architecture in the background.<br />
<br />
    The Interior Treasure: Upon entering Matthias Church, the 10-20mm wide-angle lens was essential to capture the magnitude of its ceilings and the richness of its golden patterns. This high-angle perspective allows for an appreciation of the harmony between the polychrome columns and the geometry of the floor.<br />

<p>For lunch, after we'd visited Madame Tussauds and Pop&amp;Roll, we walked a little way down the street and chose Anna Cafe. Although not as sunny as previous days it was still nice enough to sit outside. Here I had yet another Hungarian goulash!</p>

<p>One of the miniature statues we were determined to find was &quot;Brexit&quot; - Mr bean's teddy!  It was quite a challenge but we found it quicker than we'd expected!<br />
<br />
<i>With the UK finally exiting the European Union after a protracted withdrawal period, Kolodko has decided that we all need a bit of comforting with his latest piece, Brexit.<br />
Mounted on the wall of the former British Embassy at Harmincad utca, this bear will be instantly recognizable to most as Mr. Bean’s beloved Teddy. In divisive times, it may help bring a little comfort to a fractured union.</i> (From budapestflow.com)<br />
<br />
It may be controversial but I want my European friends to know, we didn't want Brexit to happen. We were sad with the direction things went in.</p>
