Beside the parliament building sits Hungarian poet Attila Josef. Plagued in life by mental health issues, his statue seems to be finally at peace. @davidasutton @sketchbookexplorer Facebook.com/davidanthonysutton #b&w #photography #budapest #hungary #travel #travelblog #hungarytourism #parliamentofbudapest #attilajozsef

After over a hundred years, it’s still the largest building in Hungary, and stunning when lit up at night. It’s architect, Imre Steindl, went blind before construction was completed. @davidasutton @sketchbookexplorer Facebook.com/davidanthonysutton #b&w #photography #budapest #hungary #travel #travelblog #hungarytourism #parliamentofbudapest

Graffiti left behind by Jewish prisoners and guards of the Terezin Ghetto. The 18th century fort, where Gavrilo Princip (the assassin who ignited WW1) died, held 150,000 Jews during WW2. 33,000 Jews died in the ghetto, and over 80,000 were sent on to concentration camps, including Auschwitz. @davidasutton @sketchbookexplorer Facebook.com/davidanthonysutton #b&w #photography #bohemia #czechrepublic #travel #travelblog #terezin #ww2

Photograph. ‘Laffitova, Žitenice, Czech Republic.’

| David A Sutton
Stunning view of Northern Bohemia. On the plains below lay the towns of Litoměřice and Terezin. Both steeped in history and stunning architecture, but also both standing as testament to a more recent dark past – the Jewish Holocaust. @davidasutton @sketchbookexplorer Facebook.com/davidanthonysutton #b&w #photography #bohemia #czechrepublic #travel #travelblog #laffitova #zitenice
