在布拉格街上除了俊男美女電車最吸引我注意,紅色車箱在身邊擦過特別搶眼。這裡的電車網非常完善覆蓋整個城市,連巴士不到的地方也有電車,部份路線連接地鐵,十分方便。
The trams are one of the attractions on the street for me as a tourist, the red outlook always caught my attention. Transit by tram is convenience and it cover all areas of the city centre.
22、23和9號線都可以到達觀光熱點。我們搭了23號,電車河遊城市比步行舒適得多。
The most useful trams are no. 22, 23 and 9, the route access most of the tourist spots. We took no. 23 and enjoy the ride browsing the city centre.
很愛在路口發呆等過馬路的數十秒拍照。 排隊等車時,人們之間的距離感剛剛好,在香港嘛,這些距離之間要塞進2-3個人。
When I'm stopped and waiting at the road intersections, I love to take pictures capture that moment. People have a very good spacing in a line which would't be happened in Hong Kong where people closely packed together and I don't like it very much.
題目:停了時間
Tittle: Stop the moment
藍天的日子在街上晃很自在,隨手拍一下。
Hi, Prague! A nice day for snapshot, I never get tired of the blue sky.
繼續晃到日落時份沿河邊看看,有些鳥在沖浪。
Along the Vltava River during sunset. People and the birds sharing the beautiful moment.
晃到另一處,這幅面積少少的塗鴉牆「列儂牆」吸引很多遊客來打咭,離開查理橋在小城區入口不遠處找到它。
John Lennon Wall is a wall filled up with graffiti at Lesser Town area near Charles Bridge, it is not large in size but a hot spot for tourist to take pictures.
晃到一個轉車站聽到遠處的琴聲,隨意就放了一個鋼琴路過的市民可以隨便演奏。翻查資料這鋼琴是源於一個Piano on the Street的社區項目,發起人是一位到布拉格開咖啡店的小老闆Mr. Ondřej Kobza。他希望這裡的人重新認知公共空間,不只急急忙忙的趕生活要享受身處的空間。有編關於他意念的訪問詳情到頁底按連結。
Capture the moment people playing piano at the railway station in Prague. "Pianos on the Streets" is a project initiate by a coffee shop owner Mr. Ondřej Kobza, who want people rethink how to perceive a public space and intended to create a better and interesting places in Prague.

在情人橋伴的餐廳嘆下午茶很浪漫啊,可惜主角不是我。
Tea break at the restaurant beside the Lover's Bridge. So romantic, hoping that I'm the one sitting over there.
在布拉格的膳食比起維也納好得多了,好在價錢親民和種類多樣化。西餐、日式、越式也有吃。
In Prague, we can enjoy better meal in terms of the food variety and budget compared it with when in Vienna. We tried local and western food, Japanese and Vietnam cuisines are both find for us.
中歐一帶很流行這些糖圈街頭小吃,在布拉格舊城區特別多。
Trdelnik popular street food been grilled over in flames, this kind of snack is very popular in Central Europe especial Prague, we found many shops making this sweetie at Old Town Square.
歐洲街頭怎少得愛情鎖,無論橋頭橋尾橋中間,有鐵欄就找到鎖頭。
Lover's lock over the bridges, easy to see it anywhere in Europe.
相片剪裁了一部分其實這裡為數過佰鎖頭,鎖著一個個相愛的、他愛她不愛、她不愛她愛、她愛他也愛…多複雜頭都暈。
The picture is cropped, here are over hundreds locks, a representation of all the blessing and promises.
這條窄巷是景點啊。這條短短的樓梯通往另一條街,窄得不能同時容納2個人。在旁的餐廳店主在上下2邊入口安裝交通燈,要過的人請先按掣。
The narrowest street in Prague connected two streets. For the convenience of pedestrians, the restaurant owner installed two traffic lights on either end of the street to signal when the street is free or occupied.
走過查理橋穿過小城塔橋到達小城區,在這裡晃。
Street view and the entrance of Lesser Town. Window shopping time.
下午4:30天已經黑齊了,這麼早天黑對我來說是很奇怪的,沒太陽會很憂鬱。
It is a bit strange for me to perceive 4:30 pm as night because in my hometown normally sunset start around 6 pm even in winter.
晃回舊城區最熱鬧的地方,全都是遊客。食店、禮品店、找換店、糖圈店、畫廊、展覽館⋯⋯。這裡也流行泰式按摩,這個畫面很有趣,店主把小魚兒在吃死皮的一格放到面向街的大窗,顧客都成了生招牌。
Capture the light around the Old Town Square area, where the busiest streets covered with tourist from all around the world. Here you can find restaurants, souvenir shops, exchange store, Trdelnik, art and exhibition galleries. A few Thai massage shops here and the girls are enjoying the fishes massage come across my camera.
布拉格是很好找街拍攝影題材的城市,來自四面八方的旅人配合特色的街道建築物,總會找到大城小故事。在這裡遛了2個整天和2個半天,時間不太允裕。若有機會重遊不去遊客區找些新角度。差不多到旅程的尾站了,在布拉格附近有一個著名的溫泉區,下一篇說說。
Prague is really a nice place for street photographers. The streets and buildings in old days along with the travellers from every corner of the world compose storytelling pictures. We have 2 whole days and 2 half days browsing the city but its is not enough, hope we will revisit in the future. It is almost the end of this trip and a place Karlovy Vary is the next and final stop.
