Golden hour #timelapse from #Sturovo ( #Parkany), looking across the #Danube toward #Esztergom and the iconic #EsztergomBasilica. Soft evening light, slow river reflections, passing boats, and the calm rhythm of the borderland between #Slovakia and #Hungary — a peaceful moment along one of #Europe’s great rivers. Captured as day fades into night, with gentle colors, still water, and timeless architecture meeting nature.
