Photos of autumn Prague

Where to arrange a photo shoot in Prague Golden autumn". I wrote this post in September on my instagram @nicoletta_prague, but I got around to posting it here only now, when, in theory, the peak of golden autumn passed two weeks ago. Now, of course, everything is still autumn, but there are already more fogs, rains and more half-naked trees. Although you know, year after year does not fall. I remember the time when I was walking in the park in early November and the trees were not half-naked.

My list of places:

Pruhonice. It's a bit outside of Prague, but the city bus goes there. I wrote about him and filmed a video here -. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel.

Stromovka. Large territory park, many deciduous trees, benches, lawns and water with ducks. A great place for autumn photo shoots and walks at any time of the year.

Petrin Hill. In the city center, excellent views of Prague. Here and Good photo do and just enjoy the walk. Yes, and you don’t have to go far, everything is in the center, but at the same time, solitude.

Streltsy Island. In my opinion, it is beautiful in autumn, and indeed just beautiful.

Gardens under Prague Castle. Here and take a walk around the former residence of the kings, and now the president and at the same time make beautiful photos.

Visegrad. Privacy, great views on the city and beautiful photos are provided to you. I know that many of my subscribers love this place.

Vrtbovsk garden. It is magnificent in itself, and it is not for nothing that all Prague photographers adore it. In the fall, ivy takes on a bright burgundy color and you have a huge chance to get photos saturated with autumn colors. Here, even if you are a cross-handed photographer with a bad camera, there is no chance of bad photos.

Apparently, the pendulum of Eastern European politics is now ready to swing in the other direction. This became clear after the announcement of the results of various stages of the elections in the Czech Republic and Lithuania. After counting the votes of the citizens who came to the Czech polling stations, a trend emerged that would have seemed simply incredible even 8-10 years ago. The Czech people this time decided to vote for the representatives of the Communist Party, as well as the Socialists. After the first round of elections to the Senate, the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia won 17.4% and finished second, ahead of the Czech Social Democratic Party, which received 22.7% of the vote.

After the second round of elections, the Czech Communists and Social Democrats in total have already won about 56% of the vote, leaving the Civic Democratic Party with 23% of the vote out of hand. It turns out that now the left Senate will work in the Czech Republic.

After the announcement of the election results in the Czech Republic, the “democratic West” fidgeted nervously in its chair. Still would! It turns out that one of the strongholds of democratic change of the late 80s of the last century decides again to try a development model that is not based on Western norms. This is even more humiliating for those who consider themselves victorious in the Cold War, since only a little over 20 years have passed since the "victory". In other words, it took the Czechs a little over 20 years to understand that the orientation towards the Western option does not always promise obvious preferences, that economic development based on endless lending with mandatory multiple repayment of the debt to the ECB is a road to nowhere that can lead the Czech Republic to the state in which, for example, Greece is.

It is obvious that the West simply did not realize that the Czech Republic is far from being a state that will, under any conditions, glorify the new political system if this system does not correspond to the interests of Czech citizens.

Apparently, the West still believes that the Prague Spring of 1968 was aimed solely at the rejection of total influence Communist Party Czechoslovakia. However, after the elections to the Senate of the Czech Republic in October of this year, it became clear that the Czechs were protesting and are not protesting against this or that ideology, but are striving to show that if the political system does not suit them for one reason or another, then they are ready to initiate changes. The Prague Spring of 1968, which was called anti-communist, systematically flowed into the Prague Autumn of 2012, which is just right to be called anti-capitalist.

More than half of the Czech voters have shown the world that, in fact, it does not matter to them what name this or that political force has, but what matters to them is whether this force can make their life better. If the parties that had an openly pro-Western vector failed to radically improve the economic situation in the country for more than 20 years, then the citizens decided to simply refuse their political services and give a chance to politicians of a different institutional orientation. Can this be called a kind of challenge to Brussels? Perhaps yes!

It is obvious that the main European ideologists relaxed early, thinking that the same Czech Republic can be kept on a short leash only if there are point reminders of its “terrible” past as part of the so-called socialist camp. Like, where are these Eastern Europeans going to get away from us now, they thought in Brussels, if they start to “emerge”, we will immediately remind them of the socialist past, tell them about the terrible “Russian threat” and calm them down with another loan tranche at a hefty “friendly” percentage .

In Lithuania, the victory at the first stage of the elections was also celebrated by the "left" forces. The first places were taken by the Labor Party and the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania, gaining total over 38% of the votes. Their closest rival is the Union of the Fatherland - LKhD bloc, which, in fact, was ruling power everything in Lithuania Lately, scored about 15% of the vote. Now the current authorities in Lithuania will also be forced to go into opposition, and Lithuanian citizens have shown that they are not ready to follow the path of the policy of “lending” in exchange for only promises to remain within the framework of the “united friendly European family”.

Naturally, one should not assume that elections in countries of Eastern Europe, will lead to the fact that both Lithuania and the Czech Republic will suddenly abandon European integration. But that's not the main thing. The main thing is that today an increasing number of people in these and other countries are ready to evaluate politicians not only by how close they are to the “ideals” of Western democracy, how far they are from the “horrors” of the communist past, but also by how capable these politicians are. to solve real problems for the development of the country and raising the standard of living of its citizens.

In general, the illusion of the ideality of life exclusively according to Western principles is beginning to dissipate, revealing to the world that on illusions, neither yesterday nor today, you definitely will not go far.

In Europe, autumn is almost the most great time, and the Czech Republic in autumn is perhaps the most wonderful place in Europe. Every year at this fertile time ancient cities are filled with the scent of fading leaves, the bright colors of autumn set off ancient castles and quiet streets. Until recently, it was a time of calm and measured rest exclusively for adults, and today tours to the Czech Republic in autumn and especially autumn vacation in this beautiful country can be planned for the whole family. The Czech Republic and especially Prague in autumn is a real fairy tale.
