My Prague: a favourite place to return
Above/featured: U Kasáren from Loretánská, Hradčany – 30 July 2016 (HL).
On a personal level, the impact of this city can’t be gauged, measured, or quantified. What I know is I’ve roamed this place over countless little cobblestones. The sum of all strides led me to jumping continents and traversing nations with steps as large as my imagination could entertain and overcome.
And so, after the twelfth, fifteenth, or twentieth visit (I’ve lost count), I look at these images and ask why I surrender to the pull, why I return, and why the Czech capital city feels familiar. It’s about the old and the new, a colourful combination replacing what I’ve lost and amplifying what I’ve gained.
Prague is one of my favourite places to return.
Daybreak and a halo for St. John of Nepomuk, Charles Bridge (Karlův most) – 28 July 2013 (HL).
Over the city to the west from the National Monument on Vítkov (Národní památník na Vítkově), Žižkov – 2 August 2013 (HL).
Metro line C commuters at Muzeum station, Vinohrady – 8 November 2016 (HL)
Dancing House (Tančící dům) with streaking northbound streetcar, Nové Město – 6 November 2016 (HL)
I wrote a “love letter” to Prague, which as many have discovered also includes “the night watch.”
I made all of the above images in 2013 and 2016. This post appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins.com as https://wp.me/p1BIdT-bCs.
