During the day, I had already walked across the famous Charles Bridge a few times and had taken some photos's there.
The idea was to return there in the evening for some nice photos's, the city was beautifully lit after sunset.
From my tripod, I was able to take long exposures to make the star effect of the lights visible.
On the right we see the crucifix, the image of Jesus Christ crucified, flanked by Mary and the apostle John.
In the centre is a Pietà, a work of art depicting Mother Mary with the dead Jesus in her arms, after the Descent from the Cross, usually holding him on her lap.
The underside of the bridge arches is also beautifully lit.
My name is Jaap Bosma, involved in photography for more than 50 years.
Over the years, I have collected a lot of beautiful prints on my hard disk from which I have made nice photo books via the Blurb website (type in Jaap Bosma and you can view them)..
