  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Photography Paradiso, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

  The 1912 Olympic games were held in Stockholm, Sweden, from late June to late July. This event in New York City, on August 24, must have been a "welcome home" ceremony, for recognition of returning American athletes, and a celebration of their achievements.

  This one is not form Budapest. The river Duna is 3-4 times wider. Also the numbers on the tram cars are different from the ones used in Hungary.

  Not really. :)
