Long Slow Distance

Heads or tails?

A Hungarian 200 forint coin, showing the wonderful Széchenyi Lánchíd, or Chain Bridge spanning the Danube in the capital Budapest.

The suspension bridge between Buda and Pest was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Budapest, opened in 1849. It was designed by the English engineer William Tierney Clark in 1839, with construction supervised by Scottish engineer Adam Clark (no relation). It's a larger scale version of Tierney Clark's Marlow Bridge, across the River Thames in Marlow, England.

The bridge has special significance to me and my drágám Ildi (@eildiko).
