At least not this time of year. The grey and hazy conditons prevailed throughout my stay in Prague, casting a pale and sickly hue over all my photographs, unfortunately. This did provide a handy excuse to drink a lot of beer, something that Prague has in cheap abundance.  Quite a bit of my time was spent idly wandering my old haunts in buzzed reverie, or taking advantage of a break in the weather to admire the view of the Vltava river from Vyšhrad, the site of Prague’s original royal castle. The weather mostly deterred any photography, however.

Tuesday night I swung by Bukowski’s in Zižkov for Ladies Night for a beer (or 9) with Jen, the American bartender and old friend. The night concluded with a truly abhorrent creation: a tequila shot with kahlua on top, courtesy of Martin, followed by the requisite 6am pizza Roma stop.

The rest of my time in Prague was spent recovering from the excess of that night.

Karlovo (Charles) the IV, apparently the inspiration for Burger King’s mascot.

I had planned to take a series of shots of me at different locations in this scene and merge them into one, but some dodgy looking people were lingering by my tripod.
