Sand Sculptures-Historical Figures by Písek Bridge-Czech Republic

Sand sculptures are built in Písek along the banks of Otava river by the bridge every year during sand sculpture competitions. In 2011 the sand sculptures represented Historical figures of the Rožmberk/Rosenberg family which was a significant powerhouse in Europe for centuries.

Písecké Slavnosti or Písek Festival followed the sand sculpture competition which took place at the end of May, 2011 a few weeks later and that is when this video was made.

Back to the Rožumerks/Rosenbergs: The last member of the family Petr Vok z Rožmberka or Peter Vok from Rožmberk/Rosenberg aka Peter Wok von Rosenberg was born in 1539 in Český Krumlov and died in 1611 in Třeboň at the age of 72. He is buried in Vyšší Brod. All the places mentioned are found in the Czech Republic.

Although he spent most of his time in Central Europe he visited the Netherlands and England in 1562 where he was received by Queen Elizabeth I at the age of 23.

He was a big collector of knowledge and gathered one of the largest libraries of books at his time. Petr Vok was also a rare kind noble who didn't raise taxes and who fed the poor at his castle daily.

Enjoy.

České dráhy (ČD) or Czech Railways is the main railway operator in the Czech Republic. In 2010 its consolidated revenues reached CZK 41.0 billion (€1.6bn, $2.1bn). Revenues from passenger transport amounted to CZK 18.7 billion (65% transfer payments from the government, 25% intra-state transport, 10% international transport), revenues from freight transport operated by subsidiary ČD Cargo amounted to CZK 11.8 billion, revenues from traffic control invoiced to state-owned railway infrastructure operator SŽDC amounted to CZK 5.2 billion. With thirty-eight thousand employees[1] ČD Group is the largest Czech company by the number of employees.

The company was established in 1993, after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia as a successor of the Czechoslovak State Railways. It is a member of the International Railway Union (UIC Country Code for Czech Republic is 54), Community of European Railways and the Organization for Railways Cooperation (Asia and Europe).

Until 1 July 2008, České dráhy was the biggest employer in the Czech Republic. After experiencing regular losses and requiring government subsidies, the railway reported its first ever profit in 2007 although it receives government subsidies. Attempts to make it more efficient are currently ongoing and a recent plan to move passenger transport to an independent subsidiary was approved by the Czech government in January 2008.

ČD operates trains; fixed infrastructure (such as tracks) is managed by SŽDC. In December 2010, the Czech government proposed bringing SŽDC and ČD together in a single holding company. The government has also changed the subsidies available to ČD and SŽDC.

ČD Cargo, the cargo subsidiary, mainly transports raw materials, intermediate goods and containers. As of 2009, it is ranked in the top five largest railway cargo operators in Europe.
