Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: parliament

I took this from across the Danube, which had a fair amount of ice on this particular day, as it was February. I looked at this photo after a few months, and rediscovered it. I really like it, so I figured it had to get posted on Flickr. Initially, though, I made the flagrant mistake of mislabelling it as the Hungarian Parliament. It is, in reality, St. Stephen's Basilica. I mistaked the two because of their similar domes and towers.

I like this picture even better. You can really tell that it's cold!

This is the Bundestag, formerly the Reichstag, which is the seat of the German government. Constructed in 1894, it was pulled from service in 1933 with the dissolution of the Reichstag, or German parliament, destroyed in World War II 1939-1945, and rebuilt in 1989-1999, becoming the new seat of the Bundestag, successor to the Reichstag.
