Photographer's Note
One in a series of pictures taken on a visit to Prague in October 2002.
There has been so much written about Prague here on TE and elsewhere that I do not intend to add to it. Those who are interested may visit this link, which relates to a Wikipedea article on the history of the city.
A set of jazz musicians playing for the tourists on Charles Bridge. Shot on a different day, they occupied much the same spot as the saxophone player, whose picture I posted earlier in this series. I guess they move round the town in sequence.

Terrific shot, Stephen, from 'long ago' in the digital era. I took a similar shot in 2007, but full frontal, of a band in the same position. I think the musos have changed since you were there! I love the colours and the light and shadow. Great background.
Regards,
Andrew

Salut Stephen,
On prend les mêmes et on continue ;o) Je les avais vus ces musiciens en août 2004 lors de ma visite de Prague. Peut-être que certains en ont remplacés d'autres ?
Très beau cadrage de ce quintet sur un bel arrière-plan, sous un agréable éclairage.
Excellente journée mon Ami.

Hi Stephen,
A true Dixieland group! You have collected them very well on this bridge with the very fine view as a background. I get a feeling they were playing "Down By The Riverside" at this moment...
Best regards

Hi Stephen
What's Czech beer like? This looks like a good spot to enjoy some impromptu music, & a cold ale? The Fall colours make a nice backdrop. Good sharpness, & tfs!

Hallo Stephen!
Wonderful, really wonderful! I think I can hear something ... ;-) Thanks to the very favourable light this picture has a most beautiful and relaxed atmosphere and it's nearly 3-dimensional. I like the many details one can detect here. Really beautiful ...
Greetings from grey and cold Germany!

Hello Stephen. As it seems, the life inspired you on the Karl bridge. And actually the musicians are much photo towards. I would listen to the musicians also gladly. You photographed the group well. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Bonsoir Stephen,
Excellent! voilà une belle image humaine et chaleureuse. C'est un orchestre de "papis", mais qui on l'air d'avoir du tonus. L'arrière plan est magnifique, sur la nature et sur la ville. La lumière est parfaite, les paramètres sont maîtrisés. Bravo.
Bonne soirée.
Cordialement

Hi Stephen, I love these jazz bands playing on the Charles Bridge they create a wonderful atmosphere, this looks a beautiful day, I have only been to Prague during the winter months & it is normally freezing, the green trees offer a great background, you have captured the musicians brilliantly, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Hi, Stephen,
I have listen CD with Jazz in my car last days.
So I can imagine this sound over the Vltava river. I also have got a few photos of the street musicians from Prague. I see this is old archive work. Cool!
