One of the things I enjoyed about visiting different cities was finding out about the transportation systems. In Copenhagen the metro was a driver less system that was brand new and super efficient, whereas in Gothenburg the trams were almost all very old and creaky with absolutely loads of character.
In these pictures you can see two different styles of tram in Prague, both are quite old and sadly we didn't get to ride on any. Instead we used the metro (see my post from 22/07) to get into the city and then we walked everywhere and I mean we walked miles but at least that we way we didn't miss anything along the way.
Although these shots are in Black & White you can see that it was a hot day with mostly clear blue sky and you can see some of the fine architecture in this old city. Such a wonderful place to visit.
I love looking out over the rooftops of the towns and cities that I have visited.
I had come to Prague with high hopes of seeing some wonderful architecture and I wasn't disappointed. As we walked up towards St Vitus Cathedral from the Malostranka metro station we were treated to spectacular views across the old city.
I think the view looks just as good in black and white as in colour. The monochrome image gives a sense of age or history which fits the style of the architecture. In colour though you get the richness of the rooftops and warm colours of the walls which stand out against the wooded hills. It looks particularly good as the sun comes through the clouds and lights up the old town.
In the second image you can see across to the business district, one of the high rise buildings on the horizon was our hotel. You can also see the Vltava as it cuts through the city and some of the many bridges that span the river.
