Hello all! ... Or due to the title should I say, Ahoj! I spend one week in CR. My fifth time in the country, so I guess I could say I like the country a lot. During the week I visited in Olomouc and its surroundings, Pardubice and Kutná Hora. In Praha I spend only hour and a half just before my flight got back home... Here´s some of the places and things I saw there: Bouzov castle Pernštejn castle... in my mind it looks a bit "lord of the ringish", not from the movie but from the book Holy Trinity Column in Olomouc Detail of a window, Olomouc Reflection of Town Hall tower clock, Olomouc Sovinec Castle. Closed, it was monday Painted wall, Pardubice Town Hall, Pardubice Passage, Pardubice One of the weirdest places I have ever visited... Weird thing is Not that church is leaning... ...but all the decorations inside are made of human bones... It´s said there´s all the bones found in a human body in this chandelier... I didn´t know I had that many skulls...Honest! More bones... Trombones... Church of sv. Barbora, Kutná Hora... breathtaking Vlašský dvůr, Kutná Hora Kamenný Dům, Kutná Hora Church of sv. Bartoloměje, Kolín Door (Church of sv. Bartoloměje), Kolín Astronomical clock, Praha Malostranské mostecké věže, Praha Karlův most, Praha So many pics... Sorry, I got carried away! :smile: But I sure had great time in there... Here´s the whole gallery: http://picasaweb.google.com/jankanpaa/TshekkiCzechRepublic2007
Wow, awesome photos. Makes me want to go back to the Czech Republic, it's been a while since I've been there.
Excellent serires. Must've been a wonderful trip. As for the "bone church": man, it had to be creepy in there!!!
Thanks, Phillip! I know what you mean... It´s a week I got back home and I already want to be back there so badly :smile: Thanks, Frank! Yep, it´s wonderful in there! Actually, I found the bone church to be very peaceful place. It´s small, humple and the decorations (in a bit creepy way, yes) extremely beautiful, not stuffed full of golden items, so I find it very calm & peaceful... Tak, Torben! About the conversions, I use very prefessional (free) :smile: PS plug-in you can find here: http://www.optikvervelabs.com/ It´s very easy and fast to use and I like the results. Here´s some samples what you can get. Church of sv. Barbora, Kutná Hora: Orginal No, I didn´t do any macro shooting in there. Spring in there is probably atleast a month ahead of ours, so there were lot of insects out there already, plenty of butterflies for example... didn´t see any odonata though... Kiitos itsellesi, Eric! :smile: Thanks, Justin!
I love that country. Makes me want to go back. I only visited Prague and surroundings in my one trip there. Looks like Kutná Hora is a must. Great photos Jukka. (I do have optikVerve and been using it for a long while). [Update]: Just re-did a couple of mine from Prague with optikVerve). Thanks for the idea.
Nice series there Jukka, Nazdar Jukka, My Grandparents were from Czechoslovakia. I would like to go and visit someday. They came over on a ship and met here in the states and were married. Again, nice photos. Dobry vecer, George Kostelnik.
Nazdar George, It´s a very beautiful country, wonderful old towns, castles etc. I have some czech friends there too, great people! I hope you´re able to visit there soon! Dekuji!
