departure

I really didn't want to do it too fast, but things are almost never as we plan them. I still haven't finished packing my bags, but I'm leaving Prague tomorrow morning for Paris. For good, or almost, this time. So I have to tell you this is probably the last post on my Prague's photoblog. I will definitely come back to Prague, I will have to anyway in the near future, at least to finish moving everything - I am really not able to pack my life in 2 bags- but ... Prague is moving very fast, and today was full of "last time". I will love Prague for-ever-and-ever, for all its sides, but I'm pretty sure it will never be my Prague anymore.

Keep checking, a Kakna's Paris will probably come out soon, hope to see you there :)

paved road

Promenade on the riverside, reserved to pedestrians and bikes... They've done quite a nice job down there.

seven to eleven

In Masarykovo nadrazi, the very central train station.

Karlin - autumn

More on Karlin here

quiet waters

Forgotten corners of Liben, where not much is going on

beer at every corner

clin d'oeil

We had a sunny day yesterday, however, it didn't last long. Today the white-but-no-snow skies were back. I like these creamy rounded shapes on the blue sky, it makes me think of Barcelona, for some reason :)

good or not

This picture could also have done well for the doorways theme day. Oh well, too late.

seasonal

Yesterday and today were really cold...time to squat the tea rooms again!

heights

See the buildings in the background? That's one of Prague's outskirts dense residential districts. People live in prefab buildings there, but they must have a nice view

1985?

I didn't have to go very far to find that grocery shop window. It's in Karlin, on one of the main streets. And yes, I took the picture recently :)

not your regular goulash

Fallow deer meat and bacon dumplings... not your regular light lunch either, but once in a while, everybody needs comfort food :)

oasis

Off Wenceslas square, in the very center of the city, get the best teas of the world... head to Dobra Cajovna

and...back

I'm back in the city again, although probably not for a very long time. After more than 10 days of almost nothing done with my camera, the blue skies encouraged me to take it out yesterday on my way from the airport.

coffee time

These new cafe-in-malls do their best to make it comfortable... I'm not sure they manage, I don't know, somehow I'm just allergic to these places.

perfect day

I really had plenty of things today. But come on, 25°C outside, and such a sunshine in October? I headed for the zoo. Where else.

giant bin

Once in a while, empty containers are placed for a day on the street, so anybody can throw out what they want to get rid of and can't be put in the regular bin. It can also be a good occasion to furnish a flat for free if you're not against a bit of renovation :)

golden moment

When the sunset finds its way through the winding streets to hit the goldsmith's sign
