The town Hluboká nad Vltavou is situated 10 km north of the town České Budějovice and is mainly known for ist wonderful castle. The region around this town is chiefly known for fish-farming and woodworking industries and deer-parks founded in the 16th century. The originally royal and new-gothic style castle (lengthways ground plan) from the 13th century was rebuilt in a Renaissance style in the 16th century. Hluboká castle belonged to the Princes Schwanzenberk. The present Neo-Gothic appearance with eleven towers, several bastions, many balconys and Castle Tower dates from the reconstructions in Tudor Gothic after the model of Britain s Windsor Castle (1841-1871). The castle is now a museum. There are more than 140 rooms and halls rich in collection of pictures (especially Dutch painting), porcelain, tapestries by Badouin von Beveren, weapons, glass, furniture with woodcarvings, hunting trophies and much else besides. The former riding school was converted in this century (1952-1955) in The Aleš South Bohemian Picture Gallery, named after the Czech painter Mikoláš Aleš. There is a large collection of pictures by Southern Bohemian artists, 17th cetury Flemisch and Dutch painting, 17th and 18th century graphic art.... A large and beautiful park ( an Englisch style) is one of the most importatnt in the Czech republic, preserve surrounds the castle.
Captured from the plane and I hope that you like it.

Bonjour Stanislav,
une vue très avantageuse en altitude de ce superbe chateau très luxueux, la note en témoigne aussi.
Le cadrage est parfait derrière avec cette rivière bien placée qui habille l'arrière plan.
Une dominante de vret aui trahit l'installation du chateau dans un environnement naturel.

Excelente composición y profundidad.

You have a very good collection of castles in your galleria and this picture is no exception. Do you fly on purpose for the photography? Well done.
Antonio

Hi Stan, you captured a MAJESTIC castle from a very very good point, with nice light, excellent sharpness and colors.
Congratulations.
Evan

Stanislav,
This is a great shot of the wonderful castle! Your POV is outstanding giving us a great view of the castle with excellent depth and detail. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and DOF. The castle is nicely framed by the trees and the river adds a nice diagonal to the shot.
TFS,
Asa

Wow, what a superb vantage POV, Stanislav. From here, we can observe the magnificent architecture that that Castle is. It almost seems unreal, like a toy. Clear and sharp image with excellent lighting. Outstamding capture.

Fine job!

Hi Stanislav, This is a remarkable piece of architecture & your brilliant POV shows it off perfectly, I have never seen this castle ever &, now with your stunning photo & excellent note, I will make a great effort to see it, set in wonderful surroundings, I don't think you could of pictured it better, kind regards Wilson.

Cher Stanislav,
Comment ne pas aimer votre photographie. C'est un pur régal architectural, une vue complète impossible à réaliser sans utiliser les airs !
Un grand merci, Stanislav, de nous faire partager vos photographies et vos notes toujours très intéressantes.
Félicitations et remerciements renouvelés.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Superb shot, with strong saturated colours and an excellent composition.
Best wishes,
Achim

Hi Stanislav,
A very nice castle with clear structures standing out very well against the greens of its environment, flying over it you got that unique Pov that makes the difference and allows for a comprehensive view, since you were not too high the structures have not been flattened.
Have a nice day,
JEan-yves

Stanislav, tu as eu la chance de survoler ce château et d'en prendre une magnifique photo. J'aime ce POV qui nous révèle cet édifice dans toute sa splendeur au milieu d'un parc splendide.

Hello Stanislav,
Impressive aerial shot with fine contrast. It looks sharp enough despite 1/500 sec, I guess this is the benefir of VR. Good work! Regards,

Bonjour Stanislav,

Très beau chateau situé dans un site magnifique, avec une architecture assez originale faisant penser à un chateau de conte de fée.

Hi Stanislav,

You have such great castles.
Great is not a good enough word .. wondrous ..
Here you have great light .. wonderful composition with it angled into the frame that way .. and incredible point of view. Beautiful .. powerful ..

take care,

John

What a spectacular castle, Stanislav. Your vantage point for the fotograph is extraordinary, but it looks like you were flying over the castle in a helicopter. How on earth did you get this perspective. The composition, colors, resolution are all quite spectacular.

Until recently, I am afraid to admit, I did not realize that the there separate languages wee spoken in Czech Republic and Slovakia. My book, "Math and the Mona Lisa," was just released separately in each. Would you do me the favor of looking at the following website and telling me whether I have covers properly identified: http://bulentatalay.com/book.htm

Warm regards,

Buletn

Hi Stanislav, i see you are from czech republic, i guess the czech community is not that much represented here on TE but you count twice considering your beautiful posts from this lovely country. I was very charmed by your country, Prague is really an amazing city, lovethe architecture there, i prefer that style to parisian haussman architecture. That's a personnal matter.
This castle is amazing !! A pure marvel and so many details there. Your POV from above is great and for sure the best to present it to us, perhaps a little bit tilted but i don't care
Excellent

Hello Stanislav,

You have some amazing pictures with castles in your gallery! I especially liked this one, not only because of the architecture but also because of the great composition, warm colors and because of the view from the plane! Well done! TFS!

I love this. Such a unique shot from Czech. Never saw this before. The architecture strikes me that most. It seems like in the middle of nature. You framed it so well. Sothy

Hi Stanislav, This is a spectacular POV of such a grand-looking castle. The people near the entrance show the large scale of this building. Clarity and colours are excellent. It looks a good place to visit one day. TFS. Murray.
