Christmas on Andrássy út (4)

Andrássy út is one of Budapest's most stylish and busy boulevards and is beautifully lit up all the way down to Heroes Square. Standing in the middle of the street trying to get the right picture is to take your life in your hands, as I have found on several occasions, so I made do with something a bit more off center to avoid the cars ;-).

Looking very prosperous. Nice to see what I assume are bike lanes.

Helen, great shot. Yep, sometimes it is better getting the image from the side. This way, you will live another day for another image. Merry Christmas to your husband and yourself. V.

A lovely looking street, Helen. For these sort of shots abroad, you always need to remember which side of the road the cars drive on :)
