Prague pre-sunset panorama

Taking panorama shots in crowded places could be tricky. This particular photo was an absolute pain in the butt to stich together. Moving people and different levels of light (because of a time of the day) all around the square did not help at all. But I’m satisfied with the result.  …. oh almost forgot HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!!

Love locks

Today I’m feeling inspirational so I’ll be posting 3 whole pictures. The first one in particular has once been selected as a cover for my local university newspaper, a copy of which proudly collects dust somewhere in the corner of my room. All three pictures are from the same place in Prague, just next to the famous “Lennon wall”. Those who’ve been to Prague have probably seen both.

The story goes that couples/newlyweds come to this spot and put a lock onto the metal bar as a symbol of their strong, unbreakable, everlasting, solid as a lock love. I’ve seen a few similar places in Europe but this one stands out in my memory a little more than the others.

Is he any good?

This is another picture from the Charles Bridge (Karlův most) in Prague. It’s one of the most popular attractions in the city which means that it’s always packed with tourists, you know the ones I always complain about (despite the fact that I am one too).  But on the good side tourists do bring painters like this guy out to the street (or in this case bridge). So is he any good?
