Prague, Part 2

Sidliste projects can be ugly, or not. It can depend a lot on angles and perception.

This was more or less an accidental find. I wasn't expecting a bush to be this striking.

This is an alternate to Picture 11. I think I still like 11 better, but I decided to post this anyway.

I don't know a lot about this building, other than that it's a school. I don't know if it's a new build or a rebuild of an older Communist-era building. A lot of the Communist-era buildings in the Sidliste projects have been renovated and repainted to look new.

The color of the yellow tree on the right looks impossible, but it's real.

Some of the newer buildings in the Sidliste projects are conventional houses, even if they're multi-unit. These are some of the houses on the Southern outer edge of Haje, before you get into Milichovsky les.

This is on the border with Milichovsky les. The fence on the right is actually for a pasture, behind which is Milichovsky les.

Here's another shot further down the path.

This is technically within Prague, but is outside the sphere of development. The road I took this from essentially looks like it's out in the countryside.

I also took some Fall colors shots with my cameraphone, which is basically another first. I had less luck, though. Although I had some problems re-learning the Contina, cameraphones can't necessarily be "learned." They just have too many limitations and not enough manual controls. Besides, they're digital. :-) That's why post processing with Gimp (or another photo editor) is important. This is the most heavily edited of the batch.

I see this berry bushes around Haje every Fall, but I don't know what they are. Presumably, they're poisonous, as I don't recognize them as anything edible, but it would be interesting to know specifically what they are.

Again, I'll admit my ignorance of botany here. I don't know what kind of tree this is, but there are a fair number of them around Haje.

This was one of a number of experimental shots that I took of the sidewalk while walking with the cameraphone.

I don't know why I took this, but this is actually one of several that I tried.

This was part of a triple bill that included Cacory, Gattaca, and Landverraad. This was Gattaca.

Here's an alternate shot of Gattaca. I took most of these during the sound check, before the lights were lowered.

This was one of the better shots that I got of Landverraad that night. The show was great, and one of the wilder ones I've been to, but I didn't have the best luck with photography.

This photo is hopelessly blurred, but it captures the mood of the show.
