Celtis87,
Thanks for that vista of downtown Philly. I like it very much. I live in west Philadelphia, have been to
Bartram's Gardens many times, but not since the newer Comcast building arrived on the scene. Your photo makes me want to get back down there again to share your view. I will also see what can be done about obtaining a night shot of skyline. I have some from in city, but not from the south and your vantage point.

EPISODE 28 BUDAPEST HUNGARY

The City of Budapest was officially created in 1873 from a merger of 3 adjacent towns;
Pest, Buda and Obuda. Other towns were amalgamated in 1950.
The original population of the area were Celts in 4th Century BC. Romans took the city in AD100 and were expelled by Huns in the 5th Century. The Kingdom of Hungary was established in the late 11th Century.
Buda was the capitol of Hungary from 1300 to 1873. It developed a “Renaissance” under “Good King” Mattais Corvinus and Queen Beatrice (of Naples) in 1458 - 1490.

There are tons of info on history of country and Budapest on the net. Fascinating, not all exemplary, but worth checking out.
