Almonds bloom here beautifully in the Spring, usually around mid or late March. Quite a popular spot then, but still enjoyable.

Mornings are the best as there's a nice light from the East. Sunsets don't light the orchard at all.

Various compositions are possible here, from details to Prague panoramas. I prefer shorter telephoto lens as it lets you include some foreground together with some beautiful Prague Old Town towers.
