It's been one of THOSE weeks for me and it's just the end of Wednesday. Work is just nutso and I just can't steal time away for fun stuff like Flickr so far this week, but I wanted to drop by and say hi. Sampson has also been griping that with my reduced Flickr time he is not getting his usual profile so here's one to keep him happy. I will be by to visit all of your photostreams over the weekend when I am hopefully able to slow down. Have a great rest of the week everyone!
The contemporary sculpture of Franz Kafka in Prague, created by artist Jaroslav Róna in 2003, is a striking bronze monument located near the Spanish Synagogue in the city's Jewish Quarter. Depicting a miniature Kafka riding atop the shoulders of a giant, headless suit, a reference to his surreal short story "Description of a Struggle", the sculpture captures the author's existential themes of alienation and bureaucratic absurdity. With its dreamlike, disjointed form and polished metallic surface that reflects passing viewers, the statue embodies the haunting, labyrinthine quality of Kafka's literary world while serving as a bold modern tribute to Prague's most famous literary son.

shot inside a tunnel. Used the neonlights as ambient/background light. fill-light by a westcott ice light handhold camera right. no further flash or reflector was used.
From a certain point onward there is no longer any turning back. That is the point that must be reached.

How true that sounds to me!
The balcony above the Cafe.
We stumbled on this cafe after walking for many hours on cobblestoned streets.
This cafe might not get rave reviews, but it was a perfect place to rest our weary feet, ankles, knees and have a hot cup of coffee on a rainy afternoon in Prague. We sat outside and admired the surrounding architecture. I loved the mix of Gothic, baroque, Renaissance and Art Nouveau inspired styles.

Tällein vaatimattomasti yritin piirtää Franz Kafkan Veterokin kirjallisuusdecoon. :D Näyttää siltä kuin sairastaisi tuberkuloosia (täysin tahaton efekti).

"El hueco que la obra genial ha producido a nuestro alrededor es un buen lugar para encender nuestra pequeña luz. De allí la inspiración que irradian los genios, la inspiración universal que no sólo nos impulsa a la imitación."

Heidelberg Castle is a famous ruin in Germany and landmark of Heidelberg. The castle ruins are among the most important Renaissance structures north of the Alps.
The castle has only been partially rebuilt since its demolition in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is located 80 metres (260 ft) up the northern part of the Königstuhl hillside, and thereby dominates the view of the old downtown. It is served by an intermediate station on the Heidelberger Bergbahn funicular railway that runs from Heidelberg's Kornmarkt to the summit of the Königstuhl.
The earliest castle structure was built before AD 1214 and later expanded into 2 castles circa 1294; however, in 1537, a lightning-bolt destroyed the upper castle. The present structures had been expanded by 1650, before damage by later wars and fires. In 1764, another lightning-bolt destroyed some rebuilt sections.
