One of the main squares in Brno is Náměstí Svobody (Freedom Square). When you visit Brno, you really shouldn’t miss this triangular square, the shape of which was determined by the confluence of ancient trade routes and a stream (that happened to be the city sewer back then).
Every time I visit, there is one building that really catches my eye, because of its striking ornamentation…
One of the Four Giants
The building is called the House of the Four Giants and hails from 1902; it was designed by Alois Prastorger and Germano Wanderley. This solid looking building’s facade show Four Giant figures who appear to be carrying the weight of the entire building. None of the four seem happy about this.
Welcome to the 198th round up of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!
First of all, my apologies for the very late posting of this round up; too many hours of meetings over the past week and not enough functioning brain cells to focus left at the end.
Your posts on the theme of Rest were absolutely fantastic! You were creative in your approaches and there was many a post that made me chuckle with amusement!! I’d strongly suggest that you explore each others’ posts to appreciate all that creative energy. Thank you very much for the amazing work that you did on this post!!
Here’s another place to rest one’s head…
A place to rest…
This image comes from within the walls of Špilberk Castle in the lovely town of Brno in Czechia. There were lots of places to rest within these walls, as there were plenty of cells. The castle is well worth a visit, even though there is quite a bit of hill to climb. The views from the top are stunning and the interior of the castle is truly a classic!
Please enjoy the following blog posts:

As I selected Retrospective for this week’s TPC theme, I thought it would be nice to look back at countries visited during the 2010s! So here it goes!
Austria
Love atop the Stephanskirche!
Looking down from the shorter tower of the Stephanskirche provides an incredible view across all of Vienna!
Canada
Walking among the treetops!
In Vancouver, BC, I got to walk among the treetops, high up above the canyon floor (below…)
Scotland
Skye is simply stunning!
On the Isle of Skye, I got to see some of the most incredible landscapes, such as here, where I’m a ways up in the Quiraing range. I could sit here forever and watch the clouds change the landscape!
Israel
Apollonia National Park
I got some time in Israel to explore the Apollonia National Park in Herzliya; this amazing Roman settlement was a wonder to behold!
Italy
Looking across Massa Maritima
Our Italian trip was filled with amazing towns (idea for some posts…), such as Massa Maritima; the hill towns in Tuscany are just stunning! And the food was awesome too!
Netherlands
Centraal Station, Rotterdam
As can be expected, there have been numerous trips to the Netherlands, and Rotterdam is still among my favorite cities in this world!
Iceland
The Herring Era
Iceland is filled with amazing vistas, and I spent way too little time there (4 days) to scratch the surface. One of my discoveries was the Herring Era museum in Siglufjördur! It brought one back to a different time!
Czech Republic
Looking up in Prague!
Sometimes, travel doesn’t go as planned, and you get to spend an additional 24 hours in a location. This happened in Prague, which is not a bad place to find yourself in!
Ukraine
A view in Kharkiv
My visit to Ukraine was fantastic, as the hospitality was amazing and I got to see some of the sights, such as the view here!
England
Albert Docks at Night
Liverpool, England, was an impromptu visit that gave me the opportunity to see my favorite Premier League team play at Anfield, their home ground! A fantastic city too!
In less than 2 weeks, I will be in India, so the adventure continues!!
Welcome to the 172nd round up of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!
Things are looking up! Your posts for this week’s theme were spectacular and showed a tremendous amount of creativity. There certainly were a couple that blew me away, both in terms of content and artistry, and I’ll be curious to hear which among all these great posts had a similar effect on you. I feel privileged to read all of your contributions to the theme of Overhead, and they were extremely enjoyable!!
Thank you for all the effort that you put into these posts, and I hope that you enjoy reading each other’s posts!
Here’s a bit more of an overhead view…
And not a drop of rain…
This art installation was in one of the main shopping streets in Brno, Czechia; it was fun to try and capture the colorful aspects of the installation on such a beautiful, rain-free day!
Please enjoy the following blog posts:

This week we get to visit the Hagia Sophia in Don’t Hold Your Breath, but not the one that everyone has heard of…rather, the little Hagia Sophia, which is stunning as well!
This week’s amazing photo in theOnlyD800intheHameau takes us into the sky at an Estevol in the town of Blond; is it a bird or is it a kite?

Clearly the monorail is the way to get around in Las Vegas, as we see in Tatiana’s post in Vegas Great Attractions; Tatiana also gives us a great view of bird’s nests in her post in Travelways.
Sometimes the art is right overhead, as we see in a great post in One Letter Up – Diary 2.0; what caught my eye is that this piece of art is a creation by George Sherwood, who has an exhibition of pieces at Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston, MA, one town over from me.
I have to say that I’m blown away by the great overhead views in the post in SheetalBravon; those Swedes have the best subway stations!!
Another light-hearted post in sgeoil shows what happens when someone goes to fly a kite!
Irene captures something that is overhead all of us in her post in Heaven’s Sunshine; that is a stunning sky!
A great set of overhead views are in the post in A Day In The Life, where Nature shows off her best!
Welcome to the 169th round up of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!
Your Hills were fantastic and definitely represented a great variety of approaches. Some of them were large, and some were hidden in the names… It was fun to read all of your posts and great to see all of the creative thoughts that you put into them. I hope that all of you go out there and check these posts!
Thank you for your patience and allowing me to get caught up!
Here is another view of a hill…

Welcome to week 170 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!
I’m home and slowly catching up, after getting a flight cancelled on Saturday and thus not getting home until Sunday. There was a benefit, as it allowed me to visit the beautiful city of Prague on Saturday. I’m halfway through this last week’s Round Up and will finish it on Tuesday night.
For this week’s theme, I was inspired by the significant amount of wall decoration that I encountered both in Brno and Prague. The theme of Sculpture challenges you to share photography of Sculpture both large and small, as you enjoy it in your world. There should be plenty of opportunity to find some cool Sculpture!
Have fun and feel free to make some faces back at the sculpture!
Here’s a rather serious looking gent, as he holds up the wall…
The load is heavy…
This is one of the sculptures that can be found on buildings off one of the main squares in Brno. Their faces are expressive and sometimes even a bit intimidating!
The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:
Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!
Don’t just stand there like a statue! Go out and capture some sculpture…
Welcome to the 168th round up of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!
My apologies for this very late round up; sometimes business travel can overtake one’s schedule and that certainly happened this week.
Finishing up this wonderful array of posts on the theme of Wall in my hotel room in Prague makes me appreciate all the creativity of your entries even more. My brain and eyes may be tired, but your entries broke through those barriers and made me smile, chuckle and muse with appreciation in viewing and reading your awesome posts!
Thank you very kindly for all of your great posts and the hard work that went into them and even more for your patience!
Here is another view of a wall…
Inside the walls…Spilberk Castle
The climb up to Spilberk Castle is good exercise on a warm day, for which you are rewarded with a spectacular bit of construction. As it was later in the day, I only had time to visit the Casemate, which included the interior of the wall. Believe me, you didn’t want to end up here as a prisoner…
Please enjoy the following blog posts:

Welcome to week 169 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!
As I am traveling for work this week, I have been pretty much out of touch due to long work days and little time between meetings. My apologies for the resultant delay. As I will have this evening to myself, I will get last week’s round up done then. Also, I should get the chance for some personal time on Friday to get a bit of photography in as well…
As I did get the chance to look out of my hotel room at night, there was a bit of inspiration that led to this week’s theme of Hill. In the town of Brno, there is a spectacular view of Spilberk Castle, which has stood atop the hill for over seven centuries. Therefore, your challenge is to share your favorite hills and/or what you find atop them.
I’m looking forward to seeing what hills you climb and capture!
Here’s the castle on the hill…
Spilberk Castle
This view is from my 12th floor hotel room; this room has the feature that windows open all the way, so that I could get a good view. I’ve also taken a couple of EOS R shots that I will process in the near future.
The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:
Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!
Hope you have fun with this week’s (day late) theme and conquer the hills!
Welcome to the 160th round up of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!
The night spoke to many of you, as is evident from your wonderful creations this week. I think you’ll agree with me that the set of entries in response to the Night theme are simply amazing. Your variety of approaches and skill, with which you executed them were a pleasure to behold!
Thank you for allowing me to read another great set of posts and the effort that you put into them! Please comment on each other’s work!
Here’s something fun to do at night…
Skating in Brno

Seeing this week’s WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge of Surprise, brought me back to last year’s visit to the wonderful city of Brno; a place that I hope to visit again soon! Brno is an interesting city to explore, as it provides a wonderful mixture of architecture going as far back to medieval times to modern with a great number of thought-provoking art installations included for good measure.
As a result, Brno is a city that will often surprise you with lots of things to see. Here’s a sampler from my day in Brno…
What is the meaning of this?
Heavy Lifting!
Ice Cream!
Sitting on the Window Sill
Balancing act
Bishop of Brno
Enjoy your weekend, and remember to keep your eyes peeled for anything that might surprise you!
Dutch goes the Photo!
