fire tongues

...or that's how it looks, somehow. Abbey Na Slovanech (or Emmaus) in Prague 2, whose church was badly destroyed during an air raid at the end of the Second World War. The renovation started in 1946, and the new western facade look was found through an architectural competition won by Frantisek M. Cerny who used shell plates of reinforced concrete.

wooden insides

I missed the European Heritage Days this year. It was last weekend, and I completely forgot about it. Two or three years ago, I went to visit the wooden church in Liben, on Zenklova street (Kostel sv. Vojtěcha), built in 1905. The interior was really amazing...

small and hidden

Evening in a small bar in Prague 7 - enter the hostel, walk in the corridor, open the door on your right, go down the stairs... here you are, take a beer and wait for the concert to start.

deja-vu

Already when I took the picture, I was thinking about this other one. Same skies, same impressions, but in Old Town with the peaks of Tyn church.

evening suns

Night falls pretty early now again, and around 19h45 it's alreay quite dark. Not a bad thing, it helps seing things one didn't notice before, no matter how large they can be - in my case, this new (?) hotel downtown, in a courtyard behind Tyn church.
