Shining Beauty, Budapest, Hungary

This is the first photograph I ever took of a shining beauty of a hotel lobby. I can safely say that although I always loved hotels, this is the day I discovered how mesmerizing and enchanting lobbies could be. I had the feeling I was entering a palace, in all the sense of the word, the one you only encounter in fairy tales and makes you to long for magic, heroes and fantasy. I love the mixture, or should I say the patchwork, of various elements which leads to enlightened perfection.
