This is the Széchenyi Chain Bridge across the Danube River in Budapest, Hungary. The structural supports on the sides of it look like an enormous bike chains. The yellow lights of the bridge are kind of interesting because they start out as green every night for maybe 1-2 minutes before quickly turning yellow. In the background here is Gresham Palace and then St Stephen’s Basilica (where you can see a 1000 year old hand in a jar). What is a little less obvious is that the Danube River is flowing well beyond it’s normal banks, more than 7 meters (23 feet) above its normal level I was told. The streets alongside the river are completely underwater, and so are most of the docks used to access the dinner boats that cruise up and down the river.
