...and here's a south view from Vysehrad.

I took several shots from this angle while we were perched on Vysehrad taking tram pictures, and as a result I got a few nice generic views of Prague. Here's one to the north....

I took this lying on the steps of York Minster, in a position popular with local teenagers, as it's one of the most impressive ways to admire the intricate carvings that cover this world-class church. It bothers me, in a way, that I didn't have a medium format camera when I took this. I rotated the photo 180 degrees, though, as the "U" shape created by the church against the sky simply looks better this way, in my opinion. I apologize for the poor quality of the scan, though, as you can see scanner lines in the sky. The original, of course, doesn't have this problem. :-)

I took this from the top of Knob Hill in San Francisco, on my first (and for the moment only) trip to California. What's most striking about this photo to me is not so much the view (the detail is limited by the small size of the print I scanned AND the crude camera), but the massive low-lying cloud layer and fog which was enveloping S.F. on this very early morning. It was like this every morning, and people say that it's normal out there.

Here's a shot taken slightly later, as the fog began to clear, which gives a much prettier view of the city itself, of course.

This is more like Picture 1, but it has better composition, I think, incorporating the tourist facilities like a brochure. :-) Actually, at a normal time of day, and not super-early in the morning as here, it would probably be much more crowded, especially with cars, and not as pretty.

This is, according to rdsadie, a "beach area between the Presidio (on the left) and the marina. I didn't remember too much about it since I took it 1993 and uploaded it in 2007!!! :-)

Here's another view from Rip, giving a better idea of the expansive view that you can get from it. In honesty, though, the summit isn't the best place. This is actually the side of the mountain, where there are fewer trees in the way, as even in the Fall, when I went, the summit's view is obscured by the trees that cover it.

Deviating from the Stefanikova story for a moment, here's perhaps the most spectacular view possible from a tram in Prague (not counting the Funicular). It was taken from Chotkova, on Tram 22 or 23 (I don't remember right now), southbound. The historic tram service, #91, and several other services also use it, but these three are the best for tourists because this is the way to and from Prazky Hrad, the castle. There was a bit of fog on this day as the sun melted the snow, and some of that is inevitably smog, too, but I think it adds atmosphere. As I get better shots, I'll probably post them, but for now, enjoy. :-)
