Széchenyi Baths letting off steam

It was almost pitch black out here and I know the picture leaves a lot to be desired (too slow a shutter speed and way too much noise for starters), but the view of the dome surrounded by steam was breathtaking. We had seen it earlier, but I figured a shot would never come out in that darkness. When we got back from watching the ice skaters on the castle moat, however (which pictures didn't turn out at all due to too much brilliant light), I saw this again and couldn't resist giving it a try.
