Went to Brooklyn with a friend of mines who wanted to do a project shoot. IT was freezing out which made shooting impossible but I was able to snap up a few pics before we left.

Here we go again. Third copy of the DA15 I found for a very reasonable price. Two or three months back I had the HD version which disappointed me. Optically not really better than the SMC, but no starbursts! THE reason for the DA15, and for me to use Pentax once in a while - just have grown to love those starbursts :) I'd wish there would be a reasonably priced 12mm with decent starbursts in the MFT ecosystem...
The DA15 delivers what I have missed (starbursts), but also why I got rid of it. Corner performance is low, using OVF and a SLR is kind of cumbersome and heavy. But the results are pretty good :)

The Church of San Juan Bautista the leading architectural and social monument in the municipality. It was built entirely in Arucas stone by local master masons, and it dates from 1909.
Municipal House (Obecní dům), Náměstí Republiky, Prague (Czech Republic)
Some background information:
Obecní dům is not only a major civic landmark and concert hall, but also an architecturally and politically very important building.
Around 1900 the building was commissioned by the city on an odd-shaped lot. Two architectural competitions were arranged but unfortunately both were unsuccessful. Thereafter the job was simply given to architects Osvald Polívka and Antonín Balšánek. Construction started in 1905 and Obecní dům opened its doors in 1912.
The Art Nouveau structure is an artifact of the Czech nationalism of that time and carries a wealth of ornaments by some of the leading Czech artists of their day. The main facade features a large ceramic half-dome mosaic above the entry. It’s called "Homage to Prague" and was created by Karel Špillar.
On either side this mosaic are allegorical sculpture groups representing "The Degradation of the People" and "The Resurrection of the People" by Ladislav Šaloun, while the remainder of the rich decoration was made by Josef Mařatka, František Úprka and others, with light stands designed by Karel Novák. The interior of the building includes murals by famous Czech Art Nouveau artists like Alfons Mucha and Max Švabinský.
The concert hall inside the Municipal House is named Smetana Hall in honour of the famous Czech composer Bedřich Smetana. On 28th October 1918 the independent state of Czechoslovakia was proclaimed in Smetana Hall. Nowadays Obecní dům also includes a very beautiful Art Nouveau café and a restaurant just as beautiful. But be mindful of the high prices before you decide on having a lunch, dinner or just a cup of coffee there. ;-)
I visited Seattle for the first time this past weekend and loved it! :) It truly is an amazing city with a lot of character.
