Buda Castle sits at the southern tip of Castle Hill and begins what is commonly called the Castle District.. It looks down on the Chain Bridge and some of the best views of Budapest are from the paths that surround it. It can be reached by walking one of the beautiful paths up the hill.. or the Castle Hill Funicular.. Either way, it is well worth the time to explore..

There are all kinds of things to shoot in the world.. Landmarks, landscapes, people, events.. But what makes me happiest, is just walking around looking for the extraordinary in the ordinary..
This building is in Kyiv, Ukraine.. not far from the Dnipro River.. Just an old brick building.. But just looking at it made me wonder. What went on behind those walls? What could this building tell us? How much of history has passed by these windows? And I am still curious …
By the way, as a bit of self promotion, which I don’t do very often, this print is available at Fine Art America , as are others.. Have a look around.. Prints make wonderful gifts! Have to pay the bills somehow lol
Happy Travels!

There is really no way to compare. This is due to a couple of factors. First, to compare the rate, your stay would have to be on the exact same dates, in the exact same room, with the exact same amenities. You would have to book the room at the exact same time on the exact same date. Cancellation policies, arrival and check-in times all have to be taken into account.. and still, the prices will be different.
Why?
It’s simple..websites get different rates depending on how many visitors they drive and how many bookings get made.
Still, there are ways to get good pricing on hotel stays.. My preferred website is Booking.com.. I always start there and check my prices. Then off to Hotels.com and Agoda.. Next, I will check Expedia, Kayak, and Orbitz.
I use those sites to pick 3 possibilities…and finally, I will go to the hotel’s website and check again.Sometimes, you will find that a hotel will offer a special deal not found on one of the travel sites..
A little patience and a little research will go a long way to helping you find the best price for your stay..
I have added a few links to get you started…If you need help planning or want me to do a little research for you.. send me a message.. I will be happy to help
Now ..get out and explore!
Happy Travels!

The Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey is an impressive sight, both inside and out. One of the “must see” sights in the city.. Free entry (dress code strictly enforced) but they do ask for donations when you exit…
The Wall for Peace — 54 feet long, 45 feet wide and 30 feet high — is bisected by a walkway that offers a perfect perspective that has attracted tourists since 2000, when it was built for the city’s millennium celebration. It was orginally supposed to be a 3 month installation that has been standing for almost 14 years.
The word “peace” is inscribed in 32 languages and 12 alphabets on the glass and 20-foot-tall metal columns standing sentries on either side.

St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Cathedral in Kiev, Ukraine is located on Chervonoarmiiska St just a short walk from the new stadium. It was designed in a gothic architecture style by Vladislav Gorodetsky (also responsible for the House of Chimeras) and E. Salya. Currently the National House of Organ and Chamber Music is also located here and performs organ concerts. It is well worth a visit for both the stunning beauty of the cathedral and concerts.
