Here's another, weirder chandelier, that nevertheless could be just as old. This one is over the Krizovy Pramen, or Christ Spring, the spring which is arguably the centrepiece of Marianske Lazne.

Here's the Albatros being watered for its return trip to Praha Branik. This water spout is the one located within the museum grounds, next to the coal bunker. In the lower left corner of this photo you can also see an ashpit, which might double as an inspection pit. It's cramped, though, so probably they would be better off using one in the shops.

There are actually not one, but three operational water spouts at Luzna, or at least three water spouts that appear to be wet. This is one of two in the yard (plus one in the railway museum), and this one is in better condition than the other.

There was, as usual, a lot of other traffic on the river, mostly tourboats and private boats rather than ferries, though. This was the "Andante,"; a tourboat.

After we got underway, the main scenic attraction on the way was Vysehrad, seen here.

This was a shot that I took not from the bridge (as in boat control room), but from behind it, as there are windows both in the front and the rear on the "Blanice."

The "Blanice" even had a PID logo on the side, which come to think of it is a bit unusual, as most PID services carry the markings of their constituent operators only.

This was the PID ferry for Cisarska Louka, the "Blanice."

While I was waiting for the ferry, I took a large number of duck and swan photos, and even a video or two. This was the one I decided to post.

I took the tram to Dvorce not to get another tram or bus, but actually to take one of the new PID (Prazska Intergrovana Doprava) ferries. These ferries have the same old DPP maps and schedule sheets as the trams, Metro trains, funiculars, and buses, even though they don't run officially under DPP. The DPP passes are, however, valid on them, same as on Ceske Drahy, as CD, DPP, and the ferries are what make up PID.

This is the old Dvorce weigh station, or so I'm told. it isn't actually for weighing trams or trucks, but actually for weighing boats. How it works, however, is unclear to me, as there doesn't appear to be a lock to put the boat in.

This is was an injector looks like in the Czech Republic. :-) This one was made in Brno, as you can see stamped on it, although I don't know if SBS is a manufacturer or a model of injector.

This is the waterspout at Bruckenmeisterei shed, pretty well intact, from the look of it, although I doubt that there's any water left in the tower posted earlier.

This is the water tower at Rangierbahnhof Tempelhof, or Bruckenmeisterei, if you will. This was where I found the Bruckenmeisterei signs, on the former yard office, which is now occupied, appropriately enough, by the offices of the park's management.

This is the official, as opposed to the unofficial, water of the Boilermaker 15K road race. Right....
