Plzen Ground Zero Photo

Photographer’s Note

Plzeň is a city in western Bohemia with more than 150 000 inhabitants (so it's the fourth most populous in the Czech Republic) and altrough it hasn't so much really touristic sights as Prague or Olomouc, it's still the city with big and interesting centre and long history. Also the city environment is very pleasant with hilly terrain, forests and areas for water recreation. And unlike Olomouc it's very lively city with friendly Bohemian atmosphere, which is closer to me than quite lazy and a bit aggresive Moravian mentality.

It takes 1 - 1,5 hours to go by bus or train from Prague to Plzeň.

On the picture there is now repaired central Republiky Square (which look is evoking New York Ground Zero to me), shot from Svatého Bartoloměje church.

Very interesting shot of construction in progress from a very high POV. Lovely architectures surrounding the "square". Regards. Latiff.

Hello Matej. With page through the gallery is noticeable to me this photo. The shot from above is very fascinating, because it permits a completely new view of the place. One sees on the one hand only banal construction work, on the other hand however the wonderful houses. Thus the photo works informatively and authentically. A beautiful and alive photo. Best regards, Wolfgang.
