The Pillars of the Bohemian Paradise

Breathtaking sandstone formations rise near Prague.

About an hour northeast of Prague, the Bohemian Paradise is one of the most popular destinations in the Czech Republic. The protected area covers more than 700 square kilometers. The expanse offers a rich variety of natural diversity and is serviced by a number of picturesque towns. Of special interest are the Prachov Rocks, a plateau that eroded into breathtaking natural spires.

After visiting manmade spires in Prague, explore natural spires in the full-color photos of The Pillars of the Bohemian Paradise: Sandstone Towers in the Czech Republic (a Travel Photo Art book).

In the Travel Photo Art series, traditional tourism panoramas mix with arthouse aesthetics. These slim, passport sized productions are your passport to new perspectives on famous places. Peer around corners and discover a unique way to interact with monuments and memorials you thought you knew.

This popular series includes titles that mix text with the pictures. Books like Notre Dame Cathedral: Our Lady of Paris, featuring photos taken months before the 2019 fire, become keepsakes associated with a specific site. Titles like Lidice Lives and Terezin and Theresienstadt are deeply meaningful for families touched by the Holocaust.
