Starting the new year

with a weekend trip to Prague!

Prague, this wonderful city. Anywhere you go you can be entertained by something.

This time in Prague I took the oppurtunity to take some photos of the Charles Bridge as last time I went to visit the city it was  crowded at any time.

There was a great exhibition of Elliott Erwitt in the Leica Gallery that I got inspired by. The exhibition can still be seen in different cities.

Unfortunately I must say I was a bit disappointed by the Salvador Dalí exhibition at the Main Square. Not well organised by the exhibitors (if you give me a printing that's supposed to show Abraham Lincoln when you see it from a distance of 20 metres but you can't see it from such a distance because the room is no longer than around 10 metres, what's the point?)

Děkuji!

Some photos to finally sum up my full impression of Prague. Such a vivid, inspiring and pretty city!

The arts scene is great. The city has many exhibitions to offer (when I was there they even had a so called 'museum night' where many museums were for free and open till 2 a.m.) and I went to finally see a Leica Gallery. Could have spent hours in it. 

As a photographer or lover of photography the city is definitely a must-visit!

Rain, Sun and a Piano Player

Prague, Krakow, Wroclaw, Vilnius and Hamburg. 

I had a long trip by mainly train to these lovely places and it's going to take me a while to sort all photos out and show what I want to express. 

Your mind gets filled with this overwhelming feeling when you go on a trip like this. You meet people from all different kind of places with different backgrounds, you see so many places you would have never imagined to see and you start to see beauty in the smallest things. 

I got back over a week ago but it's like when you wake up and you have to think for a while about what you saw in your dream.

I appreciate everything I saw and experienced and learned what it means that all things happen for a reason.
