Czech Republic - View from Above - Dusk at Old Town Square - Staroměstské náměstí in Prague/Praha
Old Town Square (Czech: Staroměstské náměstí) is a historic square in the Old Town quarter of Prague. Located between Wenceslas Square and the Charles Bridge, Prague's Old Town Square is often bursting at the seams with tourists in the summer. Featuring various architectural styles including the gothic Týn Cathedral and baroque St. Nicholas Church, the square is an oasis for travelers wearied by Prague's narrow streets. Among many churches, tourists may find the Astronomical Clock on this square, while the tower at the Old Town Hall offers a panoramic view of Old Town.
The square's center is home to a statue of religious reformer Jan Hus, who for his beliefs was burned at the stake in Constance. The statue known as the Jan Hus Memorial was erected on July 6, 1915 to mark the 500th anniversary of his death. Not only a popular meeting place, Old Town Square sees its share of celebrations (New Year's), holiday markets (Christmas and Easter), and protests. On occasion, ice-hockey and football (soccer) games are shown on huge screens, drawing large crowds of fans.
Just a slightly different view than on the photo I posted yesterday. Just to give you full feel and scale of this most popular square in Prague. To capture shot like this is a delicate balance of timing. You probably only have less than 3 mins to have the exposure right. Luckily the Tyn Church is being lit few minutes before the main square tower is being lit by huge light which case lot of bright areas on the shot. I was planning to go to other side of the tower to capture the Prague Castle just bit later, but due to those large lights, I was not able to.
