Just across (and under) the Charles Bridge in Prague is a picturesque little cobblestone street . A canal with a water wheel is just one of the things you will discover here.. It was a welcome respite from the hoards of tourist on the bridge..
The House of the Weeping Widow.. Lyteranska Street at the intersection with Bankova.. The drains from the peak of the roof run through the eyes and when it rains, the face cries.. A well known building in Kyiv, it is owned by the government and occasionally used as housing for visiting foreign dignitaries..
Ok..this little set of tables is in Paris.. but it could be anywhere because I absolutely love to find the little out-of-the-way cafes for cappucino.. It does not matter what city you find yourself in.. Take time to find the hidden gems.. Most often, that is where the best memories are made..
Happy Travels
City View – Prague
299 steps to the top of the Petrin View Tower, and you are rewarded with magnificient views of Prague below. The tower is a 60 meter high replica of the Eiffel Tower located at the top of Petrin Hill. It can be reached by funicular or, better yet, a leisurely walk through the beautiful park.
Notre Dame de la Garde sits atop the highest point in the city and, silently, stands guard over the harbor. The easiest, and fastest, way to get up there is by one of the many buses.. but if you decide to walk, it is a long way uphill.. worth it? Definetly..
But prepare yourself and take plenty of water 🙂
This photograph will be on display at the Galleri Bellman in Stockholm, Sweden starting July 11, 2014 … It is part of a group exhibit but I am happy to say that it was chosen by jury panel to be included.. I will be there for opening night.. 1st trip to Stockholm too, so more good news.
Ok.. more than A shot.. but I was walking around Kyiv the other and and noticed 6 apartment buildings with these wonderful mosaics on the end facing the street.. I realized that mosaics like this are actually all over town. You can find them most prominently on apartment buildings, but also, in the metro stations, grocery stores, schools.. everywhere.. It’s awesome !
I just decided to lay down on this boardwalk leading to the sea and frame a shot of the water, boardwalk and people relaxing under umbrellas enjoying the day..
The Maidan (Independence Square) in Kyiv, during happier and much cleaner times.. last summer taken from the hill on Institutska Street. It offers a very nice panoramic view of the city below. The golden domed building in the center is the bell tower at St. Sophia’s Monastery.
Buda Castle and Chain Bridge …
Budapest is wonderful at night… The Chain Bridge and Buda Castle dominate the skyline from the river. This area, close to the Shoe Memorial is easily accesible by foot, tram, or bus from the town center.
