Bohemiae color
The territory of the Bohemian basin, the Czech Republic, Bohemice is - not only thanks to its geological formation - an exceptional place, indicated on ancient maps as the blossom of a rose ar as the heart of all Europe. It is a place with memory, recorded here in the red of the first rays of dawn, or of blood. It is a centre. The Czech Republic is a prism where the convergence of the lines of force from the landscapes of Europe are dispersed into a gigantic palette of the shades of its sands, soils, slates, micas, tuffs, and granites. We can say that the heart of Europe is in actual fact multi-coloured and opalised. Such a colour scale is not merely the reality of the country, but equally its fully valid symbol, in its diversity pointing the way to the future. It is our wealth in the most intimate sense of the word.
This sum total of colours is a good ambassador, bearing the open tidings of the entire Earth.
