Prague
Capital of Czech Republic
What guided this image
- Landmarks
- Prague Castle; Charles Bridge; Saint Nicholas Church; Týn and the Old Town Hall; Vltava River; Petřín Hill; Kampa Island and the Certovka; High Gothic
- Viewpoint
- Favor the classic elevated viewpoint along the Vltava River (such as from the eastern bank near Smetana Embankment or Mánes Bridge), looking west across the river toward Charles Bridge and the castle hill, showing the water and bridges in the foreground/middle-ground, and Prague Castle dominating the upper horizon.
- Palette
- Green should be the predominant color, especially in the lush wooded slopes of Petřín Hill, Letná Park, castle gardens, and the oxidized copper-green church domes.
- Guarded against
- Avoid making Prague look like Vienna (no Ringstraße monumentalism) or Budapest (no Hungarian Parliament).
