This jewellery store was entirely covered in what looked like Christmas lights. This might be the usual lighting, but I doubt it because of the costs and maintenance involved. It was still less than two weeks after New Year's, so I figured they still hadn't taken down the Christmas decorations yet.

Here's the second shot of the 810 and its coach on the crossing.

And, finally, to conclude the sequence, here are the gates raising.

I happened to be closer to the Cercany crossing (which takes the line to Sazava out of town) when I took this shot, and when the new gates (installed at the end of last year) came down, I took this shot. The wait was considerable for the train, though, as in the Czech Republic it can be a few minutes (not that this means you should do something stupid at a crossing).

Before, I forget, I also saw this in Berlin. :-) Yeah, it's tasteless, but most Christmas decorations are, aren't they? No word on whether they wanted this to be St. Nicholas (Santa Claus), or Christmas Mann, their ripoff on the materialistic, secular American mutilation of St. Nicholas. :-)
