Jirska Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This was taken in the Castle Area (Hradcany) in Prague. Jirska Street connects the castle to the famous Golden Lane. The picture actually convinced me months after I had taken it! I did alraedy like the absence of depth, the earthy tones, but most of all I like a detail I had overlooked at first : when you look closely at the red sign, you can actually see the distorted reflection of the houses in the street! And it's the only element in the picture that gives you a sense of dynamics. Hope you enjoy it.

Very nice image!! Well done. Very simple, just a contrast of colours and surfaces. but very charming, attractive and with a general good athmosphere.

Sara,

You must be jocking!
This just feels like nothing to me.

Hi Sara ! i have to force my glance to glipmse the houses you mentioned , anyway your pictures are far original , i imagine all the people trying to look for the inimaginable angle to draw all the golden lane or snapping the same picture queuing in mala Strana ...it happened to me visiting your country , in Brugge , just a corner with a perfect view of the main tower of the main square ...just pulling to get a gap and get the camera free to shot ... if you have stayed in Spain you would have seen as more weird things are considered as masterpieces (just a 30 min stroll across Reina Sofia modern art gallery ...My vote for your originality

Kisses
