Praha, Czech Republic
I've been enjoying taking a lot of photos here in Prague. It's such a photogenic place that every view is a winner. I've been trying out the iPhone's camera when I haven't got my big camera with me, and it's not so bad. It's different to use because there are no editing facilities between the camera shutter and it arriving on the internet. No crop. No colour correction. You just have to pick a view, hold the thing still and give it a wang. Here's a quiet little spot I found yesterday to watch the evening bustle of a main Prague square.
Staying at the Hilton was an unexpected bonus. I guess it's Coldplay's tab at the end of the day, but whosever tab it was it wasn't mins. Spend a great day with Sarah and my good friend Mark the writer who has been living and working here as a teacher for a while. The beer, music, architecture? all good. The food? Not so much. That's the new Czech Republic. But getting better. Kind of like English food ten years ago before it got good.
I'm leaving after seeing the Coldplay show tonight. Or maybe in the morning. I think I'll take a different route home. Perhaps through the Southern German Alps & Austria. Perhaps I'll visit Oberammergau again. Last time I was there was a family holiday when I was about 12.
