Városligeti Műjégpálya

This is the newly restored building that serves as the office for the skating rink in the moat of Vajdahunyad Castle. Hardly anybody was on the ice both now and when we were here an hour or two earlier (previous image), but what a difference all the stadium-like lights make in this photo.

What a gorgeous and ornate building to be a skating rink. I would expect this to house high government officials. Great point of view and detail. V.

A beautiful building illuminated by the whiteness of snow and ice. V.

That is a gorgeous building, great proportions and details, and I love the almost circular window/doors on the ground floor.

Wow quite a building and rink, Wish we had something like this here (although I doubt my ankles could handle it anymore).

This image is quite good, too. It gives the feeling how huge this building actually is. Helen such a fantastic job capturing it. V.
