across the border - Telc Photo

Photographer’s Note

Today, view from Telc.

Regarded as the most beautiful town of Moravia region.
Registered on the UNESCO's List of World Cultural Heritage in 1992.
Situated in the southwest corner of Bohemian-Moravian highlands, exactly at the midpoint of the ancient provincial route lead from Vienna to Prague.
The oldest reliable information abou Telc is dated back to the period 1333-1335.

This photo was taken at, so called, Belp footbridge (Belpská lávka). The historical Old Town of Telc is surounded by the waters. It makes impression of very solid strategic foundation.
On the left side You can see a part of solid defending walls. Over them rises the single tower of st. James' church, built in the middle of XIVth century. Long yellow building is the former Jesuit Monastery with College and Grammar School ( built from 1651-1655). In the center there is the church of the Name of Jesus (finished in 1669).

Great shot, Mat.
Your country is full of these beautiful sceneries with those red roofs and pastel colors.
You've chosen a nice POV for this wonderful city.

Hi Mat/Tom
such an interesting view ... I only wish that you were able to take this photo from a bit more height so as to get what is being obstructed by the bridge (your previous photo is awesome by all respects)
very interesting architecture for sure ... thanks for sharing and a very informative note ... cheers ... sarju
PS: It was a pleasure to go through your gallery

Hey, I've always heard that Telc was a pretty town that too many people overlook. It appears they're right. This is a great POV over the bridge. Pastle colors each topped in red work great against that perfect sky. I plan to see the CR someday - I'll have to make sure to stop through Telc.

Hi Mat,
Even though I'm not sure, whether Telc is the most beautiful Moravian town, it's definitely worth visiting and your photos prove this fact very well. I'm happy you had so superb weather resulting in such wonderfull sky.
Excellent clarity, colours and sharpness. I particularly like those fine colour tones in water below the bridge. Very well done!

Thanks,
Marek
