In hindsight I wish that I would have been more patient and removed the cigarette butts and waited for the water to re-settle before I took this shot. However, I suppose this photo illustrates Budapest's majestic beauty and seediness, two characteristics of most cities.
Finally, after all of cleaning, painting, replacing, fixing, etc., this is our moving weekend! It will be nice to be able to settle down, relax and just breath. It was a lot of work for such a small place and the work will continue but now it's really ours. :-)
I wish you a great weekend!

how very neat! good luck with the move, james!
En France , quand on arrive dans une nouvelle maison, on fait une petite fête qui s'appelle "pendre la crémaillère" . Alors bonne installation dans ton nouveau foyer, j'espère que vous y serez très heureux !Bises !
PS: le reflet est superbe, même avec les mégots! deux aspects de la ville en un seul clic!
Great to hear, James!! Good wishes for perfect move! I know it will be great to be settled in -- at last!! Enjoy your weekend!!
Congrats on the house - the HOME! Hope settling in goes smoothly. Love the photo - and I can see both sides... removing the cigarettes and keeping them. I think, perhaps, it's a truer "reflection" with them in the shot. Bon Weekend!
This shot is really tremendous, even with cigarette butts... Budapest has a many majestic beauty...
A beautiful church, no matter which way you look at it. And I like how you explain about the water; good point.
Congrats on your new home. Rest a bit and enjoy it.
What a shot!
Beautiful reflection. Good luck with the move.
You managed you get a picture so neat, despite the dirt of the puddle... The cigaret filter looks so out of place here... ^^
At first, I thought this was City Hall in Philadelphia. The butts tell it like it is, I don't think they detract from the image.
Fantastic reflection shot. Thanks for hosting. Have a great weekend.
I see you have all kinds opinions here! Mine is that the cigarette butts don't take away from the striking reflection. They add a certain quirkiness of life in Hungary though (people smoke so much more in Europe).
Hope you are happy with the move to your new home and congrats with being a homeowner!
I found it amazing that when moving, we cleaned well the place we were leaving, and then found those who left our new home did not respond in kind! I know it will be wonderful to finally move in and have time to relax. At least, I hope you can; it always took a while for me to finally decompress.
stunning reflection, even with the butts!
gorgeous reflection James:-)
Les mégots ne sont pas gênants du tout, je trouve qu'ils ajoutent un je ne sais quoi à la très belle photo !
Bonne installation !
The cigarette butts are a great addition to the picture. Perfect-as usual.
you caught a good one there - glad you didn't lose the butts - they add reality to the scene
Really lovely shot.
Sit back...have a cool one, and enjoy the first day in your new surroundings!!
Even before I read your post, I was thinking that the cigarette butts were a good addition to the scene. I guess it would be nice to have a shot without them too, but I think they give it the appropriate Eastern European feel for sure!
Cool shot, have a wonderful weekend.
Beautiful reflection!
Great night reflection! Congratulations on getting into your new place! Perhaps the remaining work will proceed at a more likeable pace.
great reflection..
to kept cigarettes is good idea, "everything is original"
good luck with the moving and enjoy your new place.
have a nice weekend.
Nice one again James. I like it.
Spectacular - and really clever.. almost a puzzle as well:)
Hoping you have a good move which I'm sure will give us more reflections such as this! Yes, I do despise litter too!...:)JP
The cigarettes adds something special I think. Have a nice moving in your new home!
Cool reflection- best wishes for your move-and have a great weekend!
Amazing capture in a "spot" of water... Have a great weekend!
Cette si belle église semble vertigineuse dans cette flaque d'eau et donne fort envie de visiter Budapest.
bon week end,
Ava
