The view from the window of the train leaving Budapest, from the Keleti Station.  One of the oldest and grandest stations in Europe. It has fallen into disrepair.  The station columns open up to pizza sellers in tiny kiosks and the grandeur of the Hapsburg's has faded.  The restaurant inside the station, once one of the most elegant in Budapest has removed its once stately tables and chairs replacing them with Ikea style plastic ones.  The ticket collector in the photograph is lit by the streaming light through the coach window.
