This was in Teplice in the Czech Republic. Pivovar Kavarna used to be the Monopol, when Bohemia was still a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and people spoke German and their beer halls were quite fancy.

A Little Hidden Lake
One of the things I like about our running (and these days more often than not walking) group is that we get to go to places that I normally would not find on my own.
Like this lake near Teplice in the Czech Republic. Our group never met anyone at all while we circled the lake and finally decided to jump in, even though we hadn’t brought our costumes.

Should I Have What the Artist Was Having?

Six of a Kind
This wall on a vacant lot in the woods near Teplice – I was wondering if the artist honed his inimitable style on it. Sadly, I didn’t see any other of his works nor could I find any information about him.
Dripping or Tripping
Run-up to Halloween. Nineth day of October. Blood.
Roof Square
Yesterday I showed the Great Synagogue of Plzeň. I had climbed up the tower of the Cathedral of St. Bartholomew to take the photo. The spire is with 103 m the highest in the Czech Republic, that’s the whole structure, of course, I was standing a few metres below. The view was amazing, showing a sea of roofs. The buildings get more modern the further you look away from the centre of town. It’s like a history of different pasts.

Pink Square
The Great Synagogue of Plzeň in the Czech Republic has the loveliest pink spires. The first stone was laid in 1888 and it is the second largest synagogue in Europe, and the third largest in the world. It was used as a place of worship in the past, survived the second world war as a storage hall, was shortly revived as a Jewish place of worship during communism but soon closed down as there wasn’t a large enough Jewish community to maintain the building. It was finally restored towards the end of the last century and is today used for various cultural events and is open to the public.
