Prague in one word was “Golden”. The taglines that people use to describe Prague are very accurate! The city was absolutely full of spires everywhere. We stayed in the Old Town area where we saw many historical relics! Unfortunately, it was rainy for 60% of the time we were here so the photos were not very beautiful. I only caught a few with my EPL-1 but the proper DSLR didn’t arrive until it started raining.
Photo of the winding river that runs through the centre of Prague. This was from the airplane hence the blurriness.
Photo of the grand tower which the king of Prague used to cross under every time he returns to the city. It is now a huge tourist attraction with at least four spotlights illuminating it at night. The surrounding area glows like gold because of the incandescent lighting and golden reflections close to the building. Absolutely beautiful!
This sort of became my dinner for three different days. Bratwurst with Baguette style bun! They taste delicious and they’re around 50CZK ($2.50CAD). I realize these are just hot dogs, but for such a big hot dog they’re hard to resist!
The amazing hospitality at Old Prague Hostel. If you don’t mind people invading your privacy when you sleep a little bit, I highly recommend it! Cheap rooms, free breakfast, free wifi, free maps. How does a little hostel like this even survive? Sadly, I never got this guy’s name. He’s pretty cool though.
Seeing a bunch of tourists waiting in front of this building. Not too sure what kind of building it is, perhaps a hotel? This is at around 8 in the morning. Note the sun rising in the reflection and the blue skies – this was the one and only sunny morning we experienced.
Couldn’t capture much of the Prague skyline from here, but the sunrise is absolutely exquisite.
The small little creek that runs under Charles Bridge – its an offshoot of the main river. Does this look like Venice?
:O PAVOL DEMITRA! Oh wait, why’s he wearing a Canucks uniform?
The little street on the left sort of does represent Prague. The Old Town is littered with streets like that snaking all over the place. I got lost (on purpose) the morning I shot all these photos just to see if there were surprises – and there were! I went through so many narrow alleyways and walked on so many streets built from cobblestone!
what do you mean it didn't arrive before the rain started? i got some nice late afternoon shots in! ahhh golden hours are absolute love.
ReplyDeleteand how did i miss that venice like shot? unfair. =.=;; i love narrow alleys paved with cobblestone... partially why i loved Guanajuato, I guess~ Let's go to Venice! I'll look for cheap flights XD
