Soviet housing - Invalidnova I DSC_5188

The Invalidnova housing experiment in Prague, dating from 1958. Probably a lot nicer now that the windows are modern double glazed ones and there are no longer any secret police routinely installing bugging equipment to check on the residents' political preferences.

 

Strange colours, with yellow pathway, thanks to sodium lighting. Hand held shot with the kit lens at quite high ISO.

 

In PP, I've boosted yellows a litle, cropped down, denoised and sharpened, but there's a limit to how sharp this can get, given that it was taken hand-held in the middle of the night.
