another air

I'm back ! I left without warning for a weekend out of town, and didn't even have a chance to post anything yesterday. But I wanted to post one more image that I took back in 2002.
So, this is the Troja castle, just next to the Zoo and the Botanical Garden. Perfect visits for a sunny sunday afternoon.

tram

This generation of trams is unfortunately slowly disappearing from the streets, replaced by new ones. Useless to say, I don't like the new ones.

not just another cinema

Let's go on with my favourite places... here the Art Nouveau cinema Lucerna, which opened in 1909, and seems to have kept the atmosphere for ever. Or so we hope.

my favourite

Prague's tv tower, featuring artist David Cerny's great Babies (which I wish will never be removed, even though they were installed as a temporary exhibition in 2000). For a year or so now, the tower has been without its top cone, thus losing some of its shape strength, and I have found no explanation as to why or how long this is going to last. I find it quite intolerable that such a strong feature of the skyline can be altered without anyone seeming to notice :/

clochers

Let's go on with the searching-scanning-posting old pictures... Here Loreta, in the castle area.

anniversary

Exactly 6 years ago, me and my 41 kg of luggage arrived in Prague. It was just after the 100-year floods that hit the city, the water wasn't there anymore, but left a lot of damages throughout the city.
This week I am going to post some of the pictures I took with a reflex camera during my first weeks here.

monument

Today, among the list of monuments opened to visitors, I chose to go to see the former gazometer in Liben, built in 1932, and now used for aerodynamic studies.
