Oil painting: České Budějovice

I visited this small town in Bohemia and I've never seen such beautiful light. I visited this square in the day time, dusk and at night and every time it was lit with an almost heavenly light, it was weird. I like the colours on display at night, which is why I chose this composition of the square just after it had chucked it down.

The most famous thing about České Budějovice incidentally is it's the birthplace of the beer Budvar and I went on a tour of the brewery there. It was a rather bitter account of the ongoing trademark dispute with the American beer Budweiser, which also has it's roots in the city. Naturally they never missed an opportunity to mention the inferiority of this foreign imposter.
