Prague Photos

Some evening during this winter I went back from visit and I made some photos. Sorry for the quality of the pictures, but it was taken with my handy Sony Ericsson K790i and it make bad photos in night. However there were so much snow, that I liked to do some photos. One picture in the Old Square town with our Mr. Hus and toilette instead of him I see little bit funny. Have a look to the Christmas Prague photos too.

The Prague is every Christmas really nice, especially in Old Town. Each year different Christmas lights color on the streets. Just look for the few photos below.

I walked up the National Museum and made nice photos of Prague´s Main Trainstation, National Muzeum and The statue of  St. Wenceslas. Nice is that the photos were made in the night Prague.

I like walk through Prague – for example Short river walk. Maybe one year ago I have started to make photos of Prague Graffiti. There are a lot of wall pictures in Prague. I like the nice pictures, and I have built website about this topic.

Prague Graffiti - Holosovice metrostation

One month ago I already have more than one hundred photos and I learn how to sort them by art or style how they were painted.  So I decided to do categories:

BLOCKBUSTERS

CHARACTERS

POETRY

PROFI

STENCIL

OTHERS

Have a look to this website graffiti.bigdrobek.com

This city is far away from Prague, almost 4 hours with car, if you have not traffic jam. So if you need go to Ostrava to business meeting like me, the best way is to catch train “Pendolino” which is going to Ostrava in three hours.  The first one is starting from Prague in 5:23 and you sould catch first metro (it start in 4:45). Then you will be in Ostrava in cca 8:30. It is rally good that the train stops just in few train station (Prague m.s. – Pardubice –  Olomouc – Ostrava–Svinov –  Ostrava m.s.).

However you are travelling in the best train in Czech Republic, the second class does not have electricity for laptops and the train should be little bit more clear (sits and tables). But the restaurant wagon is cheap.

So here are some photos:

I enjoy walking at (night) in Prague. On this unusual website I want to write about some special places in Prague, which you can enjoy too. My goal is to show you the capital city „Prague“ in an unusual light. You can enjoy your visit i Prague more, read about interesting places or know history of Prague. The second reason for this article is to practise my English.

A Short River Walk

Short river walk - Prague Walking

As I have said, I like walking at night Prague. Some years ago I „discovered“ walking along the Vltava river. The first reason was to take different photos of Prague Castle at night. After this journey I have started walking along the river more often.
Starting at „Namesti republiky“ which is a nice square and there is the Metro, which is called with same name. There is the Paladium shoping center. This square is close to the river bank. From this place you can walk to river along „Revolucni Street“ and before the bridge turn left.You now have the Vltava River on your right, and on left is interesting government building department of something. So, after five minutes of walking you will see the entrance to the river bank and a place where the ships are parked. This river bank is built from stone and it is right place for walking and for bicycle. In a few minutes you will see two interesting places on the other side of the river. The first place is, where 30 years ago there was a „large monument of Stalin“ (Communist Russian politician). Today this place is for taking photos of a river scene with several Prague’s bridges. This place is also a popular area for skaters and in-line skaters. The second view from the river bank is the unusual scenery of Prague Castle.

We have visited this town at Saturday. This historical city has rich history, because there were silver mines. So there is the second biggest cathedral in the Czech Republic, the Cathedral of st. Barbora who is patron of miners.

I have been traveling around the sights, castles and church a lot. Here are some photos from Jewish Town, but I have not been there, because the entrance fees CZK 300 for five synagogues and commentary. Then I’ve visited Vysehrad look-out, commentary and Church (just 30 CZK for entrance) and the nicest place was the Karlstejn castle. So here are some photos from these places.
