Those Wonderful Buildings of Prague
Everywhere we walked, we encountered
attractive buildings. Yes, we spent most of our time in the
center of Prague and it's not completely representative of the rest of
the city, but it still seemed like a large number of cool
buildings, nevertheless. Europe is full of quaint and
interesting buildings, but Prague really struck me for the numbers, the
attractiveness and the opportunities to get far enough away from them to
fully appreciate them (courtesy of large boulevards or the river) Even though we had 5 days of cloudy skies,
the buildings and their colors still enchanted me. And while
I would prefer sunshine and blue skies, the "flat" lighting resulted in
more flexibility to capture images without having to deal with
backlighting or harsh shadows. These photos are a smattering of
the buildings that we encountered. |
(Clicking on an image below will bring up a larger version of it.)

and where we parked our car -
free street parking!)
Hey! Look, some shadows! The sun was
out...briefly.
