Recently I travelled with couple of my friends to Prague for a weekend break. We thoroughly enjoyed the city and its enriched preserved history at its heart. We strolled around its cobblestone streets, enjoying the culture in glorious sunshine amazed by the old artitecture that's been holding for hundreds of years, even when the capital was hit 13 years ago with the most damaging flood in decades. My highlight of the trip was crossing the stunning Charles Bridge in dusk with beautiful show of fireworks that took our surprises as we came to learn it was the 600th anniversary of Jan Hus being burned at the stake- he was one of first church reformer, executed for his heresy against Catholic Church. We also toured around the medieval Prague Castle complex, dating back to 9th century. Apparently this castle is listed as one of the largest ancient world castle in Guinness book of Records. The castle is huge occupying 70000m2 and included St Vitus cathedral, Romanesque basilica of St George, vast gardens and palaces. Golden Lane is a narrow street which is also suited part of Prague castle ring. It has tiny colourful houses and the myth says that it was alchemist houses although no alchemist occupied any of these houses. They were so tiny these houses even for me!!! :)Here I have showcased photos from my prague experience in 2 pages, I hope you will find it enjoyable as much I did. Enjoy :)

good job jena , very beautiful photos .
Victor EastmondJul 31, 2015 11:46 AM
I took a look at this when they first arrived in my 'Inbox' and found them most beautiful. I am now studying the detail. I am always amazed at the life you get within each photo. The light is cast is the correct spot, the motion of the boat on the water, the lighted tower in the background etc. You are amazing and as stated before, I appreciate your photographic work.
Thanks so very much for sharing once again.
