Dimitrije Popović - Retrospektiva
Taken one foggy morning in London whilst walking to work, using my old iPhone. Wish I'd had my SLR but the narrative is strong enough to forego the trimmings.
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.
This assemblage was inspired by Franz Kafka. I used his image in a room created by a tin and a matchbox surrounded by shell pieces and a old map.
I mounted the tin sign with part of Kafka's quote onto a hinge. I added other metal pieces to the work and I also used paint and inks to further embellish the work.
The size is 9 by 5 and is ready to hang
The large-scale, stainless-steel sculpture by David Cerny is next to a public mall. It creates mesmerizing patterns as the 40+ individual sections are in constant movement, reflecting the surrounding colors and scenes. It is a portrait of Franz Kafka, who called Prague home.

A photo of Kafka from the newspaper. I photocopied multiple times. Took a picture with my 35mm camera (B&W). Scanned photo.
At first I thought this was a cafe...
... after all "Kafka's Cafe" has a nice sound to it...
but no it's a jewellery store specialising in pearls and semi precious rough cut or naturally polished stones.
all the stone and brick work is basically appliqué over the top of what looks like rendered cement bricks
Prague
The statue of Franz Kafka is an outdoor 2003 sculpture by Jaroslav Róna, installed on Vězeňská street in Prague, Czech Republic.

The wild, jagged mountain with its numerous caves reveals traces of Stone and Bronze Age settlement and was later used frequently as a place of refuge during times of crisis as a result of its poor accessibility. Since the 19th century the Pfaffenstein has been developed for touristic purposes. The hill now boasts an inn, an observation tower, several viewing points and other places of interest on the mountain.
Since the early 20th century the massif of the Pfaffenstein has been used for rock climbing and, with its 32 rocks, is one of the most important climbing areas in Saxon Switzerland. The best-known rock and symbol of the Pfaffenstein is the Barbarine, a 43-metre (141 ft) high rock pinnacle, that has been placed out of bounds to climbers since 1975 due to serious erosion damage.
