Prague in snow

This is one of my early digital photos taken some ten years ago, back in 2005, in Old Town Square in Prague, Czech Republic. A couple of hours after midnight, it was really cold and windy, and the view of Tyn Church (or Church of Our Lady before Tyn) was majestic fading out through the snowstorm. I set up a small tripod I was carrying while trying for my fingers not to freeze and used back curtain flash hoping to capture the snowflakes and render some of the landscape's wintry atmosphere. The photograph really brings back memories and feelings of that trip.

It is said that Tyn Church inspired Walt Disney for Sleeping Beauty Castle!

Happy Holidays and warm Season's Greetings!
