Photographer's Note
Telč - 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.

Zdravo Georg. Incredible details on these buildings and so well captured by you.The foreground building ( the castle you mention?) is a feast for the eyes and I do like the way you have kept the colours soft and unadulterated. Well chozen POV. Excellent exposure. Pozdrav. Klaudio.

Great shot of this wonderful architecture. The angle of the shot is great showing more than one side of this decorative building. The people add a nice sense of scale for the shot. The lighting and colors are great and the photo has fine sharpness.

Hi Georg!
Great photo from the Czech Republic, displaying architecture unheard of in Canada, or Thailand for that matter, where I am living at the moment. Beautifully captured and whatever post-processing is used seems very appropriate. Cheers,

Hello Georg, This is truly an amazing series of buildings here. The facades of the first building are stunning and it looks very well maintained. The cobblestone street reflects the age of this Altstadt for sure. I find that the Czech Republic has truly some fantastic buildings. Unfortunately, it is not easy to drive there as there are many prohibitions by car rental agencies at the airports that will not permit you to drive in many countries. Fortunately I have friends and relatives in Linz, and they have taken me to Cesky Krumlov. My trip to Prague was taken 20 years ago and there was not the restriction on the use of my rental car at that time. Great shot. REgards, Roger

Bonjour Georg,
il est bien choisi cette endroit pour montrer une architecture assez particulière et bien rendu aussi par ses couleurs et lumières naturelles. Une excellente limitation des distorsions de perspective.
Amicalement.
