My New(ish) Neighborhood

So, now that I'm settling kinda sorta permanently (well for a year or so anyway) in Prague, I've taken a new apartment, a shared flat, in Vinohrady, near Náměstí Míru.

I continue to be fascinated by the colors and ornamentation of the buildings. The three buildings I can see from out my bedroom window:


And more buildings from a random walking tour around my neighborhood:




In a very different mood, there's this, the Žižkov TV Tower:

The Church of the Sacred Heart is also kinda sorta in my neighborhood. It's a relatively modern church, having been completed in 1932. One of its most noteworthy features is the transparent clock in the tower (which unfortunately you can't see from the angle at which this picture was taken):

Prague Slideshow

Ya know, sometimes one of the reasons that I hold off on posting is because I have all these photos piled up, and so I wait 'til I get them formatted, then I have to think about how to weave them into a coherent narrative, and it's just all so daunting that I put it off and put it off and put it off...

So, I'm just going to put up this little slideshow, mostly from a walking tour I took of Prague, and then I can just get on with posting about life here without having these photos hanging over my head!
