The Legendary Turul

Since 1903 the sword clasping turul has looked out from Buda Castle.
Such a powerful statue that complements the ironwork.
The legend says that in 896 AD, the bird dropped its sword in what is now modern day Budapest, indicating to the Magyars that the area was to be their homeland.

a high flying image...the slighty off-set framing proved brilliant..
