Having dispatched some of my initial chores in Prague, I went down to the old city for the first time yesterday. On the way downtown the tram follows a curving road that descends into the city. As we rounded a curve in the road I caught my first glimpse of the city. The vista was unexpected and exhilarating. I smiled as I saw the fabulous bridges, churches, shops, and squares below–all seemingly stacked on top of each other.
After taking care of one errand downtown, I spent most of the afternoon wandering the city. I’ve realized that photographing this city will be a challenge. There’s almost too much here to do it justice. To make things worse, sunrise is at about 5:00am, so getting morning light/solitude may not be feasible while taking classes.
