Water Fountain Prague Castle
"There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age. " - Sophia Loren
I stood in the court yard of a thousand years of history when I snapped this photograph of the water fountain at the center of a court yard within the walls of the Prague Castle. It was nearly midnight and I wish I had had more time to spend studying this piece. I promised myself that sooner or later I'd return for a few days & nights of photography in the castle and surrounding area. To read a little history on the castle visit www.castles.org.

The fountain is beautiful. I've been fortunate to visit Florence and several places in Austria. So far I've not been to Prague but my brother has and said it was very beautiful. Someday....

Hi Paul,
I visit your site everyday. I really love your pictures and I think you are wonderful. This one is also very good. I guess you could work more on color of the sky which is now something between red & yellow because of the long expose & light polution. The rest is great.
Cheers,
Shaahin
