Moments before I leave to Barcelona for a week (this Thursday) - A photo from my last years trip to Prague.
A week is not a long time, but I'll still miss my blog and you, dear visitors and commenters.
Obviously, there is no chance for the new blog design during the next two weeks, but I really hope to finish this long escapade before April ends - knock on wood.
Meanwhile, there are SOME news - Although I had a Twitter account since last year, I now decided to plunge into it.
It's fun, it's hip and it's not longer than 140 characters.

Un bel endroit paisible pour se poser quelques instant avant de reprendre la route.
cat says:
I especially like the shadows and the way the couple seem to be just enjoying being together in the landscape. Prague is very lovely - your shot is particularly nice as it shows the city without hordes of tourists.
Hope you and your girlfriend have a wonderful holiday.
חג שמח!!

Wonderful image, Ilan. I'd reiterate what others have largely said: the light, surprisingly even, plays so many wonderful games in the foreground and across your subjects' backs. It's a very happy and affectionate photo.
Enjoy Barcelona, dude!

Spacefrog says:
Very nice shot !
oldshutterhand says:
Very romantic.
Ståle says:
Moment of Peace was really the perfect title of this shot. It sent me straight back to Prague. One of the most beautiful cities I've visited. It's been a few years since my last visit. Maybe it's about time to do something about that?
I've visited ilanbresler.com (without the www). Is that your new photo blog? I like the way it looks!
João André Farinha says:
The title suits this photo really well. It's really peacefull and also very sweet. Just to nick pick a little: it's a really really minor "problem" but I think the image would benefit from a slight crop on the right side. Just enough to eliminate the (very slightly) distracting area on the bottom right of the tree.
Mahbubur Rahman says:
Very nice - again, this picture is good (IMHO) because it makes the viewer want to know more - more about the couple... and I love that about photography...
Denis says:
Great image, I like the peaceful atmosphere
martie says:
A beautifully romantic composition. The couple - older yet young in love, the gorgeous river and the beautiful city i the distance! Perfection!
Beat says:

claude says:
Beautiful and romantic moment here, nice picture!

A very romantic photo. I visited Prague many years ago when it was part of Czechoslovakia. I am sure that things have improved since then, but it is still a very beautiful city.
Lorissa says:

Yvon says:
Great shot.
Very nice .
