Twin Gate Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Pardubice is a nice town 20 km from my home town Hradec Králové and these two cities are age-long rivals. The inhabitants of both towns tease themselves with friendly jokes and I am the Hradec citizen in my heart though I moved to a village in district of Pardubice many years ago.

Though I love my town, I must admit, that two hours walk in the old town of Pardubice on beautiful yesterday morning was marvellous and I enjoyed it a lot.

The lovely narrow cobbled streets for pedestrians leads through the twin gate, that you can see in the shot, across the little magic square Forecastle (Příhrádek) to the early renaissance chateau with beautiful green ramparts, which are a good viewpoint on the old town.

hej romana,
It's very nice to see those very old alleys in Czeck towns that seems to had a remarkable face lift in the last decades, love thos light colors and your framing by the arch is masterly done.

Hi Romana,
Wow, what a wonderful composition. I love the the perfect placing of roofs and walls in the archway and the window in the smaller archway. A superb photojob. TFS and have a nice evening!

Cheers,

Ulf

Hi Romana,
I can see that this is a carefully considered composition in which the view beyond the archway is well framed. I like the patch of strong blue sky in the BG, which cheers up the predominantly pastel colour scheme. A good post.

Regards
Alfred

Hello Romana,

J'aime cette composition avec ces deux arches dont la plus grande fait apparaitre une petite place colorée sous le soleil.
L'ensemble est très agréable.

Best regards

Un Cuadro.
Me encanta la foto, porque es un cuadro hecho a bloques monocromáticos. Azul, Rosa, Crema, Blanco, Tierra, tras la arcada.
Las puertas y muro (piedra y cal), dejando ver ampliamente las casas posteriores. A la izquierda, en la puerta pequeña, como un intento. En el centro, con la puerta grande, definitivo.

Fantástico, Romana, una obra de arte.
Gracias

Álvaro
