Photographer's Note
Old Jewish Cemetery
It was built in the first half of the fifteenth century; it was used as a burial place until 1787. Among the 120,000 Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque tombstones, we find the tomb of Rabbi Jehuda Löw (1609) and Mordechaj Maisel (1601).

Hello Silvio,
The photo is slightly dark, but it is a shady and abandoned area. The gravestones leaning in all directions, so close together, and with the grass growing high, create an eerie and rather sad atmosphere. So many persons lying here, so completely forgotten.
Best regards,
Gert

Bonjour, cher ami Silvio,
Voilà encore une prise de vue qui ne peut laisser personne indifférent à travers ce cimetière (c'est la première fois que je vois un tel cimetière, avec des pierres tombales de la sorte).
Édifiant !
Amitiés.

Ciao Silvio,
C'est très original comme cimetière. Les pierres tombales sortent de l'ordinaire et elles s'entassent pèle mêle sous une canopée de très beaux arbres qui offrent un beau mélange ombre et lumière.
Amicalement
Serge

Jewish Cemeteries are often located under trees, in dense parks, thats why it is not easy to take photos there, but they have a specific atmosphere of calmness and silence

Ciao Silvio,me lo ricordo bene,uno dei luoghi piu' impossibili da fotografare per cio' che riguarda la luce,forse sarebbe stata meglio una giornata nuvolosa,hai gestito bene la cosa a parte la pendenza.Buona serata,Luciano

Ciao Silvio,
Fantastic sharpness and good repetition of the tombstones leaning in all directions. I like the dappled light and tonal contrasts. The diagonal slope of the hill adds dynamism. Tfs!

Hi Silvio,
The trees are framing well the cemetery. The point of view is showing the details of the tombstones. I like the play between the lighted and shadowed areas. Have a nice day.

Ciao Silvio
tutt'altro che un cimitero monumentale, direi proprio l'opposto, ma forse è proprio questa caratteristica a renderlo così interessante.
Buona domenica

Ciao Silvio, beautiful, a bit mysterious view of this Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague. Fantastic place. Excellent light management in difficult conditions, with a lot of shadows. Amazing view of this old macewas. afre there still the pieces of papers with the wishes in the Rabbi Jehuda tomb?
Have a nice SUNDAY

Ciao Silvio,
A known spot in the city of Prague, the historic cemetery near the Jewish quarter which is "enveloped" within old trees.
Those trees gave thick shadow cast which you handled marvelously.
Buona serata,
Ike

Ciao Silvio,
Almost not to believe, that a cemetery on this way becomes maintain.
But maybe is this the tradition of the Jewish cemeteries.
Also perfect detailed photographed.
Colours and presentation are pleasant to look at.
Very well done, TFS.
Have a nice evening,
John from Belgium.

Hi Silvio
Great composition, well balanced to keep it simple and it has got me really thinking with interesting detail and a good range of tones of tis old cemetery. I like the perspective with good lead - really suits the subject matter. It's beautiful moody and freaky shot well shot, Congrats
Best regards

Hello Silvio,
It looks like a crowded mini-Stonehenge. It is an interesting view. I think you managed the play between light and shade reasonably well. 👌👌
Regards,
