The beach Paula has dragged us to is called McWay Falls, falls because there is a small waterfall ending up in the sea. It looks like straight out of a travel brochure for the Caribbeans, a piece of paradise.

Just finished my summer trip back to Prague, and I’ve posted all the photos & timelapses already on instagram, so go check them out on my profile.

And make sure to visit my facebook page if you want to see all the timelapses in HD. It’s my best collection of timelapses so far and definitely worth seeing!

20 Followers I’d Like to Know Better

Thanks for tagging me @drxgonfly!!! I haven’t done any of these on here yet, so here goes...

Rules: Answer the questions and tag 20 followers you’d like to get to know better.

NAME: Ondřej (yes, I got this “cool” accent in my name)

NICKNAME: OJ (for my American friends), JJ (for my Swiss friends), Count (or “hrabě” for my Czech friends), Ondredge (for my sassy friends)

GENDER: Male

STAR SIGN: Aries

HEIGHT: 6′3″ (or 189 cm for everybody else in the world that uses the correct unit system)

HOGWARTS HOUSE: How can you not go with Gryffindor?

FAVORITE COLOUR: Orange

TIME RIGHT NOW: 1 PM 

AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: I strive for 8, and I make sure to get this average back up over the weekends.

LUCKY NUMBER: 16

LAST THING I GOOGLED:I’m pretty sure it was me looking up some cool place that I saw on tumblr or instagram, and where I’d want to go, even if I know I’ll never go there. I do this too often. 

FAVORITE FICTIONAL CHARACTER: For some reason I feel like I identify well with Ted Mosby from How I Met Your Mother. Make of that what you will.

NUMBER OF BLANKETS I SLEEP UNDER: Just one big one. 

FAVORITE ARTIST/BAND:  Hmm, hard to choose just one, but I listen to Coldplay, the Arctic Monkey and this one Czech band you’ve probably never heard of on loop everyday. 

DREAM JOB: I’m so jealous of what @chrisburkard gets to do as a job! I’d love to travel the world, go out on adventures and take photos, but it seems like there are too many photographers nowadays, so it’s unlikely to come true. 

WHAT I’M WEARING RIGHT NOW: Pajamas because it’s still early Saturday morning.

WHEN DID YOU CREATE THIS BLOG: July 2013

CURRENT NUMBER OF FOLLOWERS: 13k (it’s amazing how crazy tumblr gets when it comes to original gifs)

WHAT DO YOU POST ABOUT: This is a photography blog, where I post photos from my travels, so it’s usually landscape or cityscape. Right now, you’ll most likely get photos from the mountains of Switzerland or way too many photos of Prague (sorry, but I can’t hep myself when Prague is so beautiful.) Oh and I also post gifs (usually timelapse gifs) and it seems like the gifs are the only reason people follow me.

WHEN DID YOUR BLOG REACH ITS PEAK: There were many peaks, but I’d say August 2015, when on one day I had five posts on radar, that’s pretty hard to top.

WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO GET A TUMBLR: After freshman year of high school, when everybody in my class seemed to have a tumblr. I wasn’t really interested in making one until I moved from Prague, when I decided I’d have a blog where I’d keep my Czech friends updated on what I’ve been up to. In other words, it was for a completely different reason than for which I have it now.

DO YOU GET ASKS ON A DAILY BASIS: Hahaha no. I hardly ever get an ask unless I make the radar. Maybe I shouldn’t answer all my asks on private so that people see I actually respond to questions.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR URL: So I’m Czech, so I obviously had to have a pun using the word “czech,” but phrases like “czech me out” or “czechmate” were taken. And because I have this last name that this one Czech count used to have, and because all my czech friends used to call me count, I decided to put the two together. I thought it was a good idea at the time, not so sure now.

I don’t know who to tag now, but I’ll tag some photographers that you should follow if you don’t already, and who knows, maybe they’ll answer these questions as well (although in no way are they obliged to do so) :)

To the person asking about Prague, I'd simply seeing all the touristy spots because there is a reason why all the people go there. Plus I highly recommend going up to the top of some of the towers (like the one one the Charles Bridge with the view of the Castle) and then Petřín Hill and Letná for the view of the whole city. I'd also recommend checking out my Prague photos (because I honestly have too many of them) to see if there's a spot you'd like: czechthecount tumblr com/tagged/prague

czechthecount replied to your photoset “0509; isle of skye, ii”

I was just there this summer and feel like I know the exact place this was taken! Aah, Skye was really awesome!

Ahah, maybe you do! I was with my folks, so nothing really off the beaten path for us. I feel you, Skye is so beautiful, I already want to go back (and possibly not leave.)
