Charles Bridge Musical
Captured this scene while crossing the Charles Bridge in Prague, heading to Prague Castle. During the day Charles Bridge comes to life with all sorts of artists, painters, performers and the like, a really neat place to visit. Charles Bridge crosses the river Vltava (Moldau), construction began in 1357! I can only highly recommend a visit to Prague, if you ever get a chance. I hope to return here someday for an extended photo safari.
This is an HDR image, taken with my first DSLR, the Nikon D50 coupled with a Tokina 12-24mm lens and Feisol carbon fibre tripod with Gitzo head.

OH wow…Prague!! My favourite city….if ONLY I could go back there….Great shot here! when we were there these guys were so crowded you couldn’t get near them. Great HDR treatment of this one too.
Andy Mueller replied
Funny that you mention the crowds. We went to the Castle in the morning, and stopped here to shoot a bit. There were not many folks here. When we returned from the Castle, you could barely even walk on the bridge. I’d like to go back and spend some more time there for sure.
Jenny Mutter
Just lovely!
Andy Mueller replied
Thank you Jenny!

Sigh…..Prague…..I have to go back one day for sure! Lucky to get a shot like this without a million people in it. You just got the creepy stalker guy is all! Awesome capture Andy. The HDR work really kicks this up a notch…or two….or three :)
Andy Mueller replied
Thank you Shelly, you have been there, you know what Pargue is like.. I’m going back for sure one day, next time with more time and noone nagging me about taking too many pictures … hehehehe.
