I´m so glad we failed to get off the tram at our stop, because otherwise I´d never have seen this singular church, the
Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord.
Because I didn´t know the building existed, I did a sharp double take when the tram moved on and it came into view.
It is everything Michael Graves strove to achieve with his postmodernist buildings, only it was built a half a century before Graves´s signature Portland Building in my adopted home town.
Though the glass front doors were locked, the wooden inner doors were open. All I had to do to get a good shot was place the camera against the glass and trigger the shutter release.
Here is what The Official Tourist Webpage for Prague says about it:
At first glance, the most striking feature of this church is the enormous glass clock with a 7.6 m diameter dial on the 42 m high flat tower that spans the entire width of the façade. The design of this distinctive modern building was inspired by old Christian architecture and is the work of the famous Slovenian architect Josip Plečnik. It was built from 1928 to1932, and evokes Noah's Ark. An interesting fact about this, the most significant Czech sacral building of the 20th century, is the lack of a pulpit.

The Archiweb site has a longer description in Czech. Below is Google Translate´s somewhat mangled version:
Slovenian architect Josip Plečnik is known in the Czech Republic primarily as an architect of Prague Castle. In addition, he also participated in the appearance of the city by another significant construction. His Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on Jiřího z Poděbrad Square, which became an inseparable landmark of Vinohrady and part of the Prague skyline, was consecrated 75 years ago on 8 May 1932.
The competition for the construction of a new church was announced in 1919, with the "Association for the Construction of the Second Temple of the Lord in Královské Vinohrady" established in March 1914. Plečnik himself did not take part in the contest. 1910 lectured. Later, the jury and allegedly the participants themselves invited Plečnik to work out the design himself.
Plečnik completed his design in 1927 when he dramatically altered his original vision, which assumed a generous build-up of space by other buildings, including a school, apartment houses, and a triumphal arch.
The reason was the lack of funds for such demanding construction, which also significantly delayed the implementation of the project. Plečnik has created three projects in total, without claim to remuneration. In the final proposal, it reduced the estimated costs to about a third.
The so-called Bept Foundation has become the basis of construction financing. She managed the property (mostly land) of the wealthy New Town councilor Karel Leopold Bepta, who donated it for church purposes. In addition to this main source of finance, the entire parish has helped many collections, gifts and lotteries. The building was commissioned by Nekvasil from Karlín.
Between 1928 and 1932, a monumental modern hall building with a wide tower was built on the square, partly (clad in brick) surrounded by a clinker, partly plastered in white.
When designing the church, Plečnik was supposedly inspired by old Christian Mediterranean architecture.
The rectangular hall measures 26 by 38 meters (85`x 125`) and is 14 meters (45`) high.
The wide main tower with six bells is topped by a three-meter copper cupola with a four-meter-high cross and reaches a height of 42 meters (137´).
The tower has a large round window with a diameter of 7.6 meters, (25´) which also serves as a clock. In the underground there is a spacious chapel with a barrel vault, which is considered by contemporary architects to be Plečnik's most spiritual space.
The interior of the church, which was largely created after its consecration, is as original as the exterior.
It was designed primarily by Plečnik himself, after his return to his native Ljubljana the work was taken over by Plečnik's successor Otto Rothmayer.
The sculptural decoration is the work of Damian Pešan, paintings of the Stations of the Cross were painted by František Doubek and the colorful decoration of the windows with the motif of the Heart of the Lord was designed by Karel Svolinský. The organ was made by the Kutná Hora company Mölzer, the bells were cut by the Brno workshop of Rudolf Manoušek.
Plečnik also designed the surrounding square. However, this has never been completed, and moreover, the modifications carried out largely did not survive the later construction of underground shelters and metro stations.
Last year, the church was included by the Ministry of Culture on the preliminary list of monuments and cultural goods that the Czech Republic will propose for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List from 2007 to 2018.
Lia Fail..
Very nice too..
"To craft LIA FAIL our brewers selected flavour packed dark crystal and chocolate malts. This combination creates a warming malty body bursting with nutty, chocolate notes that we have balanced with spicy aromas from Cascade and Fuggles hops. It finishes full, mellow and satisfying"
This arrived December 29th, not in time for Christmas, after I ordered it December 9th. That sucks, and shows a lack of planning on their part (or who knows, maybe sales were better then expected with the economy improving, I'll give them that) since they should have had a giant stack of Ovechkin jerseys for Christmas.
But while I can forgive that, spelling the damn name wrong is a little much.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

One can easily see the 5.76 price drop & have no excuse this is the "volume bar". The volume bar is never ever rendered as a thin black line. Ever.
As Oscar Wilde might have put it: “To have one unit fail may be regarded as a misfortune; to have two fail looks like carelessness.” This view shows 304006 stabled on the Folly Lane branch alongside Runcorn station, having failed earlier that day while working a local service between Liverpool and Crewe. Although it blocked the branch, this was the only available place to stable the failed unit, as the siding next to the former wagon works was already occupied by 303053 which had failed the previous day.
