Prague Castle or Pražský hrad
Taken during my recent holiday to Prague. Had a visit to Prague Castle. Although its named a castle it looks more like a church. It is a stunning castle and is a must visit for anybody going to Prague or the Czech Republic.
The sun was shining through the stained glass windows as it was a nice day outside. Taken as three separate shots and combined in Photomatix. I then tweaked slightly in PSE7 and then this was the result.
Information
Prague Castle (Czech: Pražský hrad) is a castle in Prague where the Kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman Emperors and presidents of Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic have had their offices. The Bohemian Crown Jewels are kept here. Prague Castle is one of the biggest castles in the world (according to Guinness Book of Records the biggest ancient castle) at about 570 meters in length and an average of about 130 meters wide.
The history of the castle stretches back to the 9th century (870). The first walled building was the church of Our Lady. The Basilica of Saint George and the Basilica of St. Vitus were founded in the first half of the 10th century. The first convent in Bohemia was founded in the castle, next to the church of St. George. A Romanesque palace was erected here during the 12th century. In the 14th century, under the reign of Charles IV the royal palace was rebuilt in Gothic style and the castle fortifications were strengthened. In place of rotunda and basilica of St. Vitus began building of a vast Gothic church, that have been completed almost six centuries later. During the Hussite Wars and the following decades the Castle was not inhabited. In 1485, King Ladislaus II Jagello began to rebuild the castle. The massive Vladislav Hall (built by Benedikt Rejt) was added to the Royal Palace. There were also built new defence towers on the northern side of the castle. A large fire in 1541 destroyed large parts of the castle. Under the Habsburgs some new buildings in renaissance style appeared here. Ferdinand I built Belvedere, summer palace for his wife Anne. Rudolph II used Prague Castle as his main residence. He founded the northern wing of the palace, with the Spanish Hall, where his precious artistic collections were exhibited. The Second Prague defenestration in 1618 began the Bohemian Revolt. During the subsequent wars the Castle was damaged and dilapidated. Many works from the collection of Rudolph II were looted by Swedes in 1648, in the course of the Thirty Years' War. The last major rebuilding of the castle was carried out by Queen Maria Theresa in the second half of the 18th century. Ferdinand V, after abdication in 1848, chose Prague Castle as his home.
In 1918 the castle became the seat of the president of the new Czechoslovak Republic. The New Royal Palace and the gardens were renovated by Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik. Renovations continued in 1936 under Plečnik's successor Pavel Janák.
During the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia during World War II, Prague Castle became the headquarters of Reinhard Heydrich, the "Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia". It is said that he placed the Bohemian crown on his head; old legends say that a usurper who places the crown on his head is doomed to die within a year. Less than a year after assuming power, Heydrich was assassinated.
After the liberation of Czechoslovakia, it housed the offices of the communist Czechoslovak government. During the Velvet Revolution, Alexander Dubček, the leader of Czechoslovakia during the Prague Spring, appeared on a balcony overlooking Wenceslas Square to hear throngs of protesters below shouting "Dubček to the castle!" As they pushed for him to take his seat as president of the country at Prague Castle, he embraced the crowd as a symbol of democratic freedom.
After Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the castle became the seat of the Head of State of the new Czech Republic. Similar to what Masaryk did with Plečnik, president Václav Havel commissioned Bořek Šípek to be the architect of post-communism Prague Castle's necessary improvements in particular of the facelift of the Castle's Gallery of paintings.
Geoff had taken four assorted double-deckers from the latest failed incarnation of Alpha Coaches at Bootle - two Leyland PD2As had already been moved on, and the Atlantean's departure was also imminent, but the Regent would loiter a little longer.
UKA 595H had only just joined the Alpha fleet, having been with a couple of local dancing bands since 1982, and looks like it may have been in mid-repaint when it left ! Swanbrook Coaches at Cheltenham were about to take it away, and amazingly they would get nearly 6 more years from it.
979 MDV was sold for conversion to a dining bus early in 1985, but was soon returned without use, and later in the year it was exported to America.

On our way to Berlin we stopped at Checkpoint Alpha. During the days of the DDR this way the only point where you could cross the border by car when you wanted to go from West Germany to West Berlin. Here they would search every car to see if you weren't smuggeling. When they had suspicions about you they could take you inside for interrigation. Waiting time here could be hours,
From here it still was a 170 km drive to West Berlin. You had to go through East Germany over a single lane road without any exits. You where forbidden to stop and could not leave this road. Allthough not visable you knew that East German intelligence forces where watching you the entire time.
