In da yard

The gate leading to our yard

In the middel of ...

Tram stop Sidliste Barrandov. Actually a tram stop with a very beautiful view over Prokop Valley - in daytime

Háje

I´ve always been attracted to this prefab block in district Háje

You know you´re in Prague when...

you see fences like this one (normally in red and white)

Rainy days

Lovely evenings

One of those evenings where the air is warm and the twilight makes everything look fantastic. The church is on Havelska street.

I´m sailing :-)

Another nice thing about Prague is the infrastructure. I dont know of any other place where it´s so easy to get around. Here we have the metro lines, the trams and the busses all together covering almost the city from one end to another. But a little extra thing is the small boats taking people across the river. Here a picture from Podhori - Podbaba line. Other connections are for example: from Podoli - Zlichov, Sedlec - Zámky, and the newest is between Modrany - Lahovicky. Using those boats offers you a quick way to cross the river in places otherwise far from the bridges. Just use a metro or tram ticket and you are on your way :-)

Kozna street in the morning

It seems to me that in Prague there are people everywhere all day and night long - the best time to actually see the beauty of the city is early morning -one of the few moments where the city center is almost empty and very quiet. This is from Kozna - a small alley with nice restaurants very close to Old town square. The church in the back is Týn cathedral (Týnský Chrám).

Neighbours

I have always liked to look at windows - especially when its dark outside. From the light coming from inside I imagine stories about people living there, different tones of light brings different stories. This is a window belonging to someone in my yard. From this light, from the nice jazz you can hear when the windows open, the voices etc I like to think of those people living there, that they are interesting people enjoying life. I think they have a lot of books, a comfortable couch, like a glass of wine. All that from a look at a window...

My favourite cinema

My favourite cinema Svetozor on Vodickova street. In the passage there is a café Ovocný Svetozor, which is serving very nice icecreams :-) And the café itself looks super with furniture and lamps in bright red & blue colours by Kartell. Dont miss this place !

Near Vltavska metro

Colourful wallpainting in the middel of the otherwise very grey tramstop at Vltavska.

From the National Museum

Inside the legendary building on Vencelas square

Todays offer

Todays fruit prices in the small market in Zitná street

Bohnice

A look from the river towards Bohnice district. Looks like this apartment block is growing out of the hill.

Signs

From my favourite svimming pool complex Podoli.

So many places, so little time

Sunset

The castle as seen across the river, from Vinohrady on a lovely evening.

Next stop

Prague tram stop. Numbers with dark background are night lines, the white ones operate until midnight. Love trams :-)

Refreshments

What I also love about this city is the great number of refreshment possibilities (sorry for my english here) At Tylovo námestí, close to I.P. Pavlova Metro, stands this small cottagelike house with one window facing the "garden", which in fact is a fence surrounding 3 tables right at the square :-), here you can order the nice refreshing Malinovka, raspberry juice, and of course beer :-) At the other window facing the street you can have pizza, which is very good here! Super place for watching people and the life around!

Closing time at the Market

During daytime filled with people and things, after hours a nice quiet place :)

Coffeeheaven

Frostitos (iceblend) or their Strawberry Xtreme are indeed heaven on a hot day :-)

Early morning at Stáromestske námestí

Prazske járo - Jana Rollova

Last month the window gallery at the bank Ceska sporitelna in Melantrichova street belonged to seven young and upcoming designers. Inspiration to their exhibition was Prazské járo (Prague spring) understood both as the great music festival (where you have to dress nicely :-)) and also spring, as the time to change your wardrobe.

Especially the installation by Jana Rollova was very esthetic. I liked the way her light green dress combined with shiny orange lit up the whole street. Before I managed to take a proper photo of this, the window gallery changed their exhibition... You can read more about Jana Rollová at: http://www.janarollo.net/ .

Vysehrad part 2

Sorry, but here is one more evening picture - It was such a nice evening. Below Vysehrad near the railway bridge.

Vysehrad

Just wanted to share the beautiful sky as seen from Vysehrad

Chodov

Last time I went to Chodov metro it was all grey and dull (I admit it has been long since I was there last) This time I was very surprised: I found something like a very big umbrella hanging over the exit. It was a very beautiful morning, the sun shined and in a way lit this umbrella up, it was amazing. I know this picture really doesn't capture this feeling, but go and see for yourself - on a sunny morning :-)

Honey, I´m home...
