That is a beauty. Those clouds really make the picture look fantasy worldish to me. Good image.

I have to agree with Frank on the bank of clouds. They really add a lot of drama to this post and dwarf even the wonderful beauty of the buildings..nice work :)PJ

As I nearly fell down when I saw the thumbnail. Chris, this is absolutely gorgeous! The city view is stunning in itself, with the water in front and the gorgeous buildings, but the cloud formations make for a real treat, and you captured it perfectly.

Wait, Prague - I am coming to take a couple of shots of you too !!! LOL
It is so close to Poland but at the same time a little too far from Szczecin where I live ...

Absolutely magnificient photography! How fortunate you were to see this lovely scene. I have a deep love for clouds and this picture of yours is fantastic. I would have felt the same as you did!! It's just pure magic to see a gorgeous city like Prague with this kind of sky. I was born in Germany, and came to USA when I was ten, but I've never forgotten the beauty in the architecture there, and to see all your photos is amazing. I am going to slowly go thru your gallery and enjoy every picture...thank you so much for posting this and I hope there will be many more. Maybe some closeups of some of the great designs on the buildings? windows? doorways? anything...thank you so...verena

I love all those towers and domes. What great architecture you have captured and to have the cloud bank to serve as background---no wonder you almost fell down. Superb! (Glad you pointed this out.)
