Looking west from just
outside the east gate of the Charles Bridge. A lot of
distortion here due to the wide angle of the lens. In the
center with the concentrated light, you see one of the many statues
that line the bridge. This one, like many of the others, have
some sort of Christian meaning to them. You can see the
cathedral in the lower right side, just beyond the light post.
My first sunset in Prague.
I had been hiking on the bridge earlier in the day but it started to
rain heavy. Just a bit damper than I had intended
on getting, I decided that I would take a shower in the facilities
shared by mine and the room next door. Only after feeling
quite refreshed did I return to the streets. The sun was about
to drop underneath the clouds that had brought the earlier rain.
I knew that this was going to be a good sunset, but had no idea
where the sun was going to go down. I positioned myself along
the river and ended up with this. This was one of those long
colorful sunsets that one could enjoy a Guinness with!
