Hello Adam,

The place is really awesome and the pictures were taken professionally. The color of the doors is catchy and pleasing to the eye. Artistic and gives me some idea. I hope I could also visit the area. Looks interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Thumbs-up!

It sure is – although we saw quite a bit on our Prague trip, Vysehrad was one of my favorite places.

Mr. Paul, I came upon your blog in doing research for our family trip to Prague in September 2010. First off, your photos are stunning — I love all the details you captured. Additionally, your notes regarding your experiences are interesting and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing second-hand your adventure in Prague. Thank you!

I love this post and the pictures. You’re right about the center being really touristy. I always tried to find things off the main tourist routes, and Vysehrad is a great example.

Welcome, Joe, and thank you very much for the information about the grotesques!

I’ll be posting more (many more) photos & posts from Prague over the next few weeks, which may be useful to you for your visit.

The 6 grotesque figures are 6 of the 7 deadly sins.
The 7 sins are: Lust; Gluttony; Greed; Sloth; Wrath; Envy; and Pride. Which is which in your photo I am not sure. I think “Tuscano Design” sold replicas of these figures, although I could be wrong.

I believe the 6 above are L to R:
Gluttony and Greed
Envy and Pride
Wrath and Lust (I am 90% sure of these last two.)

Thanks. I am going to Prague in one month and will go see these.

Thanks, Ankush! Yes, I these were all taken with either a Canon 30D with either Canon’s 17-85mm EF-S IS or 70-300mm DO IS lenses, or a Canon G10. I don’t recall if any of these shots were taken with a CP filter, perhaps so, as I did use one occasionally on the 17-85 on this trip. I also do a fair bit of post work, which may account for some of the blues, although we did have lovely blue skies for many of the days we were there.

nice set Adam, seems like you had a lot of fun on the trip. i love the main door! the blues in general are pretty impressive in your pics too. you are shooting cannon right? are you using a polarizer? in particular i liked the blue tones in the first pic a lot!
