Here's a more conventional view of the Zizkovska Televizni Vez.

This isn't my first-ever shot of the Zizkov Television Tower, I know, but I think it's one of my best. The way I shot it from Jiriho z Podebrad the dwarfed buildings are able to give a sense of its immense size.

The Zizkovska Televizni Vez, or Prague TV tower, is the tallest structure in Prague. The tower is 216 metres high, but in terms of elevation above sea level at the top, it's higher than the Empire State Building in New York. Meters above sea level don't really count, though. :-) The tower features an observation deck (although regrettably not at the top), a restaurant (expensive, but probably worth it if you're a tourist), and of course several television and radio transmitters. I took this from Petrin Hill, which is 50 minutes away by public transport, and it still absolutely dominates everything around it. There almost is no skyline without it!!!

Here's another one.

Whoops!! I forgot these two. Enjoy. :-)

This is the first of a series of black and whites that I took on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway on my third visit there on February 18th, 2007. I started shooting black and white, if I'm not mistaken, when I got to Oxenhope, but I have to admit that in general these photos may not be in perfect order. Here we see ex-L&Y #957, built in 1887 (really!!), and Taff Vale #85, which is also ancient. The 957 is my favorite, though, being an L&Y "Ironclad" 0-6-0, as brutally authentic as a vintage British steamer can get. Neither is the oldest I've ever ridden behind, but they come close. They're also both quite small, so our train was headed by both locomotives.
