30-07-2006 Prague - Zoo garden

Official website of Prague ZOO is http://www.zoopraha.cz you can find out a lot of usefull informations about events or actual actions happening in ZOO. From my point of view, this is very nice ZOO garden, even if I don't like animals in cages. I'll get back more times at this place.

Come to see some pohotos

Troja castle.

I almost forget. Troja - it's very paintfull castle directly in front of ZOO entrance (or ZOO is near the Troja castle?). I want to make more photos, but they opened at 9 AM, I was there sooner. By the waym this photo was made through the hedge.

ZOO garden entrance

When you will see this rock with these almost live creatures, you are immediately at the gates of ZOO.

Your turn to tell me the name

Parrots (kakadu?)

Unfortunately I'm not wild life expert, or not exotic wild life expert, so take it easy if I'm wrong and let me know.

Your second turn to tell me the name (pelicans?)

OK, this nobless man I can't miss, it's Asurians tiger.

Yeah, his name is Asik, and he is 19 years old. (congratulations, but he was poor man alreday - just bones and skin :-( . Good luck to you Asik)

Elegants, bored, but brave.

Have a nice week everybody.

20-07-2006 Praha - "Mala strana" in the evening

Just random walk in the Prague's streets, later in the evening. It's quite hot in the city, but still beautifull.

View from the Charles bridge against the Vltava river

Cafe restaurand somewhere under the Prague's castle.

This side of prague is called "Mala strana". In translation is sounds quite fun : Little side. Honestly it's fun for me even in czech language, but this name must have any historical reason, which about I have no idea

Weekend is coming, keep beeing in good mood...

Nice weekend to everybody.

16-07-2006 Tupadly - Samadhi center

This weekend I was in little villgage called Tupadly in buddhistic centre called Samadhi (http://www.samadhi.cz). It's near Melnik city, and very near to "Machovo jezero".I was there with my friends on retreat of Agamic school (http://www.tantrajoga.cz). There was a lot of interesting events, you can also make focus on this website http://shintaido-cz.org. As this is mainly photoblog, I must note that clouds were realy amaizing.

Some photos :

Main building.

The areal of Samadhi centre is reconstruction of some historical place, realy very nice. For more information see www.samadhi.cz if you want.

The samadhi tower - access on your own risk :-).

The part of centre is also this old tower, but it's too old and therefore we cannot go up.

Fields around the centre.

There is a lot of fields around the Samadhi center, very paintfull.

In the fields 1

In the fields 2

Have a nice week.

13-07-2006 Prague - Garden city around my flat

This evening I went out with camera just to explore surroundings of my flat. As this part of Praue is called "Garden city", it's very fitting name. Names of streets are fruity - like "Apple street" or "Strawberry street", that's sweet. Also a lot of flowers is everywhere.

Some photos :

Sunflower

Sunflower one more time

These sunflwers grow up in front of one low-floor block of flat. Main gardener (actually sprinkling the flowers) said that it's some special kind of them, they are not very tall, just for decoration into flowerpot.

Rose

Unfortunately most of roses are overbloomed, this one resists.

Even pear trees are there

So have a nice weekend.

07-07-2006 Prague - First walking in Prague

My impressions from Prague are great, as I expected. When I have a free time, I always walk in the old town. The people in the old town are very fun - most of them are tourists.

Almost every tourist have a camera. You can be often asked to make shoot with foreign camera, this habit is very usual above for Japanese tourists. Fortunately their cameras have only one button - shutter.

Some shots from sunset somewhere around Charles bridge.

Duck on the Vltava river.

Jetty in the harbour

Prague's castle from Charles bridge.

In the settlement around the castle

Street in the old town.

I hope you like someones. Have a fun and nice week, I'll try to make good shots here,
but at first I must furnish my new flat.

20-06-2006 Kozarovce - Priest's consecration

Great event came to Kozarovce village - priest consecration. Event like this did not happen in Kozarovce almost 50 years, so it was quite theatrically, something like a minute of fame for new priest.

New priest will not be priest for Kozarovce village, but first mass always happen in village of born. Unfortunately I don't remember name of the priest :-(.

Never mind, let's see some pictures:

Prickle's crown and chalice of blood.

Most left man is actual priest in Kozarovce.

New priest with his father and mother

One more time

Everybody want to see new priest.

I hope it came off well, I was not in the church. Sorry for delay, but I was moving myself to Prague.
