Lady on a wall 2007-06-16 00:19:00 This lady was sitting on a chair mounted 5 meters high on the wall. With a basket full of flowers.
Vltava River bank from Palacky bridge 2007-06-21 12:54:00 These banks are changing for past couple of years. There were a lot of parking spaces here but Prague want to build a few kilometerts long promenade now. We already have a beach with a small swimming pool on the opposite side of Vltava
river. There will be cultural programme on the bank during United Islands of Prague festival this weekend. And so on.This is at Palackeho square (taken from Palackeho bridge
) and there's an old fashioned fish restaurant nearby, just at the river. Highly recommended. Read more:River
Girl in the window 2007-06-20 01:10:00 She may be there just because of some free wifi internet she can't catch inside. Or she just likes to sit in the window :)There's one part of Prague (not this) where everybody has access to a free wifi internet. Not extremly fast, but free of charge.
Prague ISF World Cup 2007 finals: Japan-USA 2:0 2007-06-24 16:13:00 International Softball World
Cup in Prague
is over and the winner is Japan
. Second place goes to USA. They played with each other twice before this match. 4:1 for USA the first time and 12:2 for Japan the second time (that was yesterday). And finaly 2:0 for Japan today. Congratulations to Japanese players!As you can see, there were a lot of people. I think softball is on the rise at least in Prague. Or at least at this playground complex at Krc - it is said to be the best playground in the Czech Republic and people like to go there. They have other two tournaments starting next week here: Prague Softball Week and Prague Baseball Week. Read more:finals

It's raining in Prague 2007-06-23 16:18:00 Weather was weird today. It was half an hour blue sky, sun shining, other half an hour dark sky, heavy raining. Thus making it almost impossible to visit any of Saturday's attractions in Prague
- may it be music festival United Islands of Prague, International Softball World Cup or Science in the streets (showing the latest technical achievements and other interesting "science" stuff at a couple of squares in the centre of Prague; we were there with our cars last year - we have a video on YouTube to prove it :)Hope you'll have a wonderful Sunday :)
Hotel Majestic Plaza 2007-06-22 15:51:00 This hotel has very interesting exterior. Quite different to the buildings around it. It's a few steps from Wenceslas square. Don't know why I didn't notice it before. Read more:Hotel

Walking on a metro tube 2007-06-28 14:02:00 I think it was cheaper to build the metro
tube not-underground.You can walk on it now :)From station to station. Read more:Walking
Prague's New Town City hall at sunset 2007-06-27 15:18:00 It's always like this in the evening. And it looks really nice :) This is Prague
's New Town City hall. Located just at the Charles square. A friend of mine had her wedding in here many years ago.
Rajska zahrada - one of the "design" stations of Prague metro 2007-06-26 16:43:00 Rajska zahrada metro
station is one of Prague
's newer stations - those that were built during the last 10-15 years. The difference between them and Prague's older ones is really big. In the past all the stations were the same. Maybe the color was changing but nothing more. The new ones are built as an oportunities for the architects and Rajska zahrada is one of the nicest in Prague. But you can't tell from the photo :)There's a metro wagon in the photo as it just arrived at the downstairs platform. Next station is final, it's called Cerny most (Black bridge) and is in the north-east part of Prague. I was, obviously :), at the upstairs platform and trains from here go to the centre of Prague and continue to the south-west part of Prague. This metro line has almost 30 stations at all and it takes about an hour from one end to the other. Read more:design
There are boats on Vltava river 2007-06-25 15:57:00 Just after I saw Jeremy's photo at Another Paris Daily Photo I knew what to post today. The boats on Vltava
river I captured yesterday.This is at the southern part of Prague called Branik. Not too far from Prague's center (a few stops by tram, actually). It was totaly devastated after floods few years ago and is one of the most beautiful places in Prague now. Well, it was popular place to spend a summerday in the first half of the last century - as is obvious from really old Czech movies.This bay is used for fishermen's boats and there are tennis, volleyball and other playgrounds on the opposite side of the bay. Along with a kindof turists club's house - all in the style of that old movies, far away from a nowadays playgrounds and sports clubs. It has its own unique genius loci.There's a lane for roller-skaters and for bicycles, too. Also one of the best in Prague and definitely one of the most romantic in Prague :) I'll post another picture of it later.Oh, I almost forgot the bi Read more:Vltava river
Red Theme Day - Red Balcony at Prague's Botanic garden 2007-07-01 14:22:00 I found this one by accident while going throught the Botanic
garden. Really amazing here. For sure one of the Prague
's top best looking/best hidden places.Must be lovely to live in that apartment with red balcony and on the top of it, have a great view on Prague. Ohh, I'm so envious :)Don't forget to check other cities' Red Theme

(Almost) candid shot of a girl on an escalator 2007-06-29 19:20:00 Picture of the escalator
at Mustek metro station (at the centre of Prague).I did it only because of that girl :)And because I have a camera in my hand. Because it didn't fit into my to the top filled bag (with other cameras :)The weather forecast for the weekend in Prague (and the whole Czech Rep.) is very promising. I think we'll have a great time. Hope you'll have a great time too :) Read more:Almost
This is my wake-up alarm-clock machine 2007-06-29 02:35:00 This is my new wakeing-up machine. That green something.Of course, it is not alone. Every now and then cames a small truck *with what it seems to be from the terrible noise* full of glass and unload everything on the street.Ohh, it looks they are going to be done in a few minutes :)Prague is under heavy reconstruction every summer holidays. Lots of people leave and thus this bothers less. And the traffic jams are *not that bad* as they would be a month ago. I bet you have the same schema in your city, don't you :) Read more:alarm
Coffee at "like at a construction site" cafe in the centre of Prague 2007-07-04 18:35:00 We went along this cafe Metropol with my friend few days ago. It looked like it is just being reconstructed.But it is not. It is only designed to look "as being reconstructed".Sure, it is the most interesting place at Narodni trida now. And it has a great potential. But only if they won't finish it and make it look good :) Read more:Coffee

Prague's sunset and the back of the Municipal House 2007-07-02 17:42:00 Municipal House
(this being its back side) is next to Powder Tower and at the end of the street that leads to Old town Square. There's also Czech National Bank facing Municipal House.But who cares when the sunset lightens it up this way :) Read more:Prague

650 years of Charles Bridge 2007-07-08 18:39:00 Charles bridge - Prague's famous landmark - is 650 years today. Emperor Charles IV started the construction with the first stone on July 9, 1347 at 5:31 am (I don't know how they know it so exactly).There were celebrations, of course. But as we have national holidays on Thursday and Friday I think there were only tourist here celebrating while all Praguers were out of Prague :)My older posts with Charles bridge:Charles bridge and St. Nicholas Church at the Old Town SquareAnother shot of Charles bridgeCharles bridgeCharles bridge with The Queen Anna's folly Read more:Charles
Giant high heels in the centre of Prague 2007-07-12 02:00:00 Prague is full of giant things/sculptures every summer. Like this high heel, which has a good reason to be just right there. Parizska street is only meters away and you would know that Parizska street it the "high fashion" (the most expensive, also) street in Prague. Thus it fits in this place :)Older post (speaking of art in the streets): Pig... on the springboard... in the centre of Prague Read more:Prague
Under (and behind) National theatre in Prague 2007-07-11 02:24:00 This way you entrer the place behind
Natinal theatre
(theatre being to the left from this view). You can go to Laterna Magika - another interesting theatre - from here. Or you can take your skateboard and join the others who skate at this place. And if you're lucky, you wouldn't end up under the tram going on Narodni trida street, which is on the opposite side (over the red lighted building in the photo).See older posts with National
theatreOfficial sites of:National theatreLaterna Magika Read more:Prague
Prague Castle at night 2007-07-10 02:34:00 Kind of follow up to yesterday's "650 years of Charles Bridge" post.Today with overlighted PragueCastle
.
Prague's weather update: it's hot, verrry hot - lets go boating 2007-07-16 14:57:00 Ohh, do you have that incredibly hot weather
, too? Not usual to have almost 40 degrees Celsius in Prague
.So I took this photo of people who "enjoy" the sunshine having nowhere to hide - while boating on Vltava river.We did a quick quiz with our office neighbours today about what to do in this weather. *Visiting the pub and have a good cold beer* won. No other option came even close. Do I have to say Czech beer is the best in the word? No, I don't :)And what do YOU do when the temperature goes this high? (If you're going to the beach I'm jealous already :)
On the fashion hunt in the streets of Prague 2007-07-15 03:19:00 One of the girls we shooted for "fashion in the street" section of Czech fashion web www.inVogue.cz. More will come during the week at inVogue and you don't have to speak Czech to see those pictures :)I read interesting article *Prague
-Budapest* by Zsolt about tourists in those two quite similar cities. I must add that center of Prague is really full of foreigners and it is almost impossible to hear anybody speak Czech. I saw it at our shooting yesterday. We had to start every conversation with "Mluvite cesky?" (Do you speak Czech?) and after a few trials we switched to English and don't bother to ask in Czech at first.Zsolt is also part of Budapest daily photo which I visit alot because Budapest is on the top of my "'d like to visit" list :) Read more:streets
Prague's cafe for bloggers 2007-07-14 05:18:00 Lot of Prague
's cafes have free wifi but this is the cafe that actually have customers who use that. A lot!And it isn't rare that you see Blogger's "Create Post" page on (newly found) fellowblogger's computer screen.So, if you're in Prague and want to go here enjoy some free internet, just go to metro station Mustek on green line (not yellow, that would be somewhere else) and go to Vodickova street, Svetozor passage.(Older posts concerning Svetozor passage: it looks like this *Svetozor cinema* and if you go through you can get here *Frantiskanska garden*)Have a great weekend!(In case the weather is bad go visit Cleveland Daily Photo and see iBlowfish's gorgeous pictures :) Read more:bloggers
Bank with a Prague castle view and a skatepark nearby 2007-07-18 16:13:00 I wouldn't tell before but Prague
castle is pretty visible from a lot of places in Prague. Not a surprise at this one (of course) as it is really close to Old Town.Actually taken from a bridge that goes over Stvanice island. They have a great skate park here and they had a Mystic skate cup competition here last weekend. Which I noticed when I was sitting on a bench (that one in the centre of the picture) and there were suspiciously big number of skaters going around. Most of them foreigners. Two of them tried to swim in Vltava - see the "V" shaped from the steps - but a local man illustrated them pantomimicly (he didn't speak English, evidently) that they better not try.
Mum, we're going swimming (to Podoli, Prague's best swimming pool :) 2007-07-17 14:25:00 Podoli is part of Prague
with the best (and the biggest) swimming pool. There were tens of cars parked everywhere and trams were full of *going to* and *going from* swimmers of every age.And there is more! Zlute lazne ("Yellow baths") is a place at the Vltava river with a beach and all you can have near a typical tourists driven beach (they have a little ski slope in winter here, too :). Zlute lazne is very trendy. They must have great marketing/PR team because they had a tv reality show here last year, all of the fashion magazines do their summer shooting here.And I love that inflatable thing the girl has. Is it a centipede? :)
Rolling through Prague in a motor home 2007-07-20 01:59:00 I love this old motor home. Wouldn't it be great if you can go anywhere in the world and stay here as long as you want?In case, you want to stay in Prague
, you may find this list of Prague camps helpful. Personally I would choose Intercamp Kotva because is has almost that out of city feel. Well, there's a highway on the other side of the river - yes it's at the Vltava river. And you're really close to center, just about 15 minutes by tram (or partly by bus as the tram lines are in repair right now). Here is the tram you would go with, this peaceful bay is just around and you'll see this on your walk towards the Prague center. Read more:Rolling
Hardcore daily-photoing / May that be another Prague DPer? 2007-07-19 14:48:00 Saw this guy yesterday shooting at Jungmannovo square. I would like to see his photos - maybe he would start another Prague
Daily Photo :) Or be a guest here (would be a great honour :)I know there are some in the Daily Photo family who do shoot analog. And you should know them too. They are worth the visit:Alejandro from Buenos AiresRichard from ZürichDo you know others? Please, let us know :)
Midnight petangue in Prague 2007-07-23 15:40:00 I had never known petangue is such an interesting game. Everybody should try it :)I took this picture at 2 am at one of Prague
's island where we go to play. Usually after midnight, ending like at 3 am or so. The island is called Slovansky island but everybody knows it as Zofin (named after the mother of Franz Joseph I). It is in Vltava river very close to National theatre. There's a weir nearby, too. You can smell the water here. Only the salt is missing and it would be like at a sea :)
7th International Corvette meeting in Prague 2007-07-22 05:07:00 Photo from the 7th InternationalCorvettemeeting
