I love the Hungarian Postcrossing stamp. It has so much detail and probably the entire cityscape of Budapest in it :)
Buda and Pest are cut across by the river Danube over which lies the Liberty bridge ( constructed towards the end of 19th century ) by Emperor Franz Joseph. After the WW2 it was renamed as Liberty bridge to honour the Soviets who liberated Hungary from the Axis powers ( though sentiments changed in a span of 10 years )
On the Buda side is the Gellért Hill on top of which is the Liberty statue honouring the Soviets ! The stamp shows a Hungarian postman carrying his mail on a bicycle riding on the Pest side of the Liberty bridge with the Liberty statue and the hill in view :)
I received the cover together with this postcard showing a very similar view - Thanks Christy !
This is a postcard of the Hungarian parliament building on the banks of Danube , probably as seen from the Gellért Hill ! Thanks Zsolti for the cover and postcard !
