Critique Welcomed Prague in October

[Robbie Coffin]

I got back from Prague on sunday, and had lots of photos to process (I got a little snap happy). It is such a beautiful city with so such different architecture. I had 3 days to tour the city, 60,000 steps later and theres still so much more to see! Here are some of my favourite photos:

Cracking set, Robbie. So, you found the John Lennon wall then! And I recognise that metro station! Love 'Outrage' - did you realise that the image is from Der Golem (based on the legend of the Golem of Prague)? It was filmed in Babelsberg in 1920! Is No 6 the TV tower on the hill?

 

[Robbie Coffin]

Thank you! Yeah Kyle managed to guide us to it! Glad we got to see it. I knew it was a Golem but I didn't know the history behind it. Is it worth a watch? No. 6 is my favourite, it's the Petrin Tower. We climbed all the way to the top, it had beautiful views of Prague. So lucky to have clear weather for it all!

Excellent set, Robbie. The Petrin Tower,...is that the one that looks a little like the Eiffel Tower only much smaller?

 

[Pete Askew]

That's the one, Brian.

Der Golem is a striking piece of film for the era - the usual melodrama etc but worth a look, if only for the imagery. I also like the way the legend is referenced in The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay - that is worth reading.

Excellent Robie. My young daughter nd friend nipped over last Wednesday evening and got the back late Sunday evening a short break from work and of course sent through a pic of two of the wall and mentioned the steps. She was taken how small the city is but enjoyed it immensely, especially the colours. .
They aslo made a point of getting up very early for many of the river shots and yes the light , colours are superb there.
Superb set.

Thank you all, I am particularly proud of these pictures, I feel a real connection with the city. Pete, I will have to check them both out, my reading list is getting rather vast!

I've ordered some more pallets so you can make some bookshelves!

I haven't been there yet and this encourages me to go. A very good set of images I'd say.
