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.

Georg,
This is a nicely composed shot of this line of colorful buildings. The angel of the shot works well creating a diagonal through the shot. The people add a good sense of scale for the shot. The lighting and colors are fine and the photo has nice sharpness.

Hello Georg,
A fine perspective along these wonderful façades, each one of which is different in some detail or another. The people bring a touch of vitality to the scene and offer a sense of scale. I like the soft pastel tones and the excellent detail to be seen and admired. Looks a tremendous place to visit.

Tidy shot to show a row of old shop lots in good perspective, it is always a beautiful old town where architectures in baroque, roccoco and gothic style are visible around the old town, thanks for sharing a historical town.
