Photographer's Note
Telč (Czech pronunciation: [tɛltʃ]; German: Teltsch) is a town in southern Moravia, near Jihlava, in the Czech Republic. The town was founded in 13th century as a royal water fort on the crossroads of busy merchant routes between Bohemia, Moravia and Austria.
Besides the monumental 17th century Renaissance chateau with an English-style park (a rebuilding of original Gothic castle), the most significant sight is the town square, a unique complex of long urban plaza with well-conserved Renaissance and Baroque houses with high gables and arcades; since 1992 all of this has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Gothic castle was built in the second half of the 14th century. At the end of the 15th century the castle fortifications were strengthened and a new gate-tower built. In the middle of the 16th century the medieval castle no longer satisfied Renaissance nobleman Zachariáš of Hradec, who had the castle altered in the Renaissance style. The ground floor was vaulted anew, the facade decorated with sgraffito, and the state apartments and living quarters received stucco ornamentation together with trompe l'oeil paintings and chiaroscuro in 1553. The counter-reformation brought the Jesuits to the town, who built the church, Name of Jesus, in 1666-1667, according to the plans of Domenico Orsi. The column of the Virgin and the fountain in the centre of the square date from the 18th century.
Prior to the Expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia after World War II, Telč had, as did its neighbor Jihlava, a principally German-speaking population.

Ciao Georg,
ottimo taglio stretto su queste case tutte colorate e dalla piacevole architettura che nel susseguirsi danno profondità alla scena.
Ottimo l'inserimento della piazza in primo piano che oltre a dare maggiore ricchezza alla composizione, evita l'appiattimento dell'immagine allargando i piani prospettici.
Ottima la gestione delle luci e la resa cromatica.
Well done!

Hello Georg,
A great perspective on this vast square with its magnificent ensemble of architecture. The lovely pastel tones sit well under the attractive sky. The people contribute much to the mood of the shot. There is much detail to be seen and appreciated. A fine architectural composition.

Hello Georg,
Pretty and interesting panorama on this beautiful place where little crowd here but in this summer period ago that must be different I suppose… I like much this coloured and typical architecture. Always much of smoothness in the image processing, thank you Georg.
With all my friendships and an excellent day,
Jean-Charles
