eggs

a few weeks late with these pics ... i bought these eggs in the Easter street markets that appeared around Prague ... each one hand painted

Flea markets

Bargain hunting through the junk and treasures of Kolbenova flea markets in prague.

Towering rocks

Rosie and I went exploring in the weekend ... we discovered some incredible rocks in a place North East of Prague ... beautiful

magical magnolia

This has to be my favourite flower/tree ... in full bloom outside my boyf's flat in London

Mustek

A tube stop in Prague

pink

please don't touch the artworks

dagmars staircase

Munich ... just arrived back from a weekend of country mountain churches, good food, river surfers, crazy art and good people ... so incredibly good

citrus coffee

i was totally charmed by this bright orange coffee cup today at Slavia Cafe

I am constantly amazed by the decoration in this city (Prague). You may need to click on the picture to really get an idea of how phenomenal it is.

David Černy's 'tower babies' climbing the praha tv tower leave you both disturbed and delighted ... well worth leaving Prague 1 to check it out ... by day and by night.

Found in the derelict (and far superior) part of Prague's main train station. The station is a bizzare mixture of achingly beautiful Art Noveau architecture and depressingly grim souless development. There are a series of these women's faces wearing traditional dress from around the world ... referring to Prague as the "mother of all cities".

wintry london

oops another wintry london photo ... but i just love the skeleton trees and the patterns they make on the white/grey sky ... this one was early in the morning so it was wonderfully peaceful and calm ... quite beautiful

down to the river

was waiting for the van to pick me for work yesterday morning ... it was -8 so i was a little chilly ... i was also 10 min early ... so i hightailed it to the river (which was only a block away) and took some early morning pics

more snow

can't stop taking photos ... its way too exciting ... all this snow ... admittedly the top one is a slushy snow ... this was a few days ago and its still snowing ... fun.

sun and snow

those long winter shadows don't do much for your figure!

frozen

i've been looking around trying to find the name of this sculpture on Petrin Hill here in Prague ... but i can't find it ... i remember reading a blurb that told me its a memorial to those who have died in wars ... its a series of figures which are less and less complete as they ascend the stairs ... as if they are slowly disappearing ... yes, its still snowing here

outside my window

Prague

Aware that I've been negligent in taking Prague tourist shots ... I made a (somewhat) pathetic and uninspired attempt in the weekend ... next weekend I'll do better

sunnier times

I was tired of looking at that dismal photo of a wintry, foggy London. Needed some sunshine ... so from another time and another place ... my 3 year old niece in her wetsuit, playing on a beach near New Plymouth, NZ. Ahh sunshine ... where for art thou?
