Candles for Václav Havel
Four days before my visit to Brno, the essayist and politician Václav Havel died. A lot of candles, photos, letters and even drawings covered the squares of the city.
‘Astronomical’ clock in Brno
Even though many people call this an astronomical clock, it is just a clock. The clock refers to an episode of the Thirty Years’ War when the people of Brno ended a siege by pretending a wrong time of day.
Beautiful ceiling in Brno
If one dares to look through open doors of buildings built in the 19th-century, one often get awarded by seeing wonderful ceilings and staircases. For example, I saw this wonderful ceiling behind a door in Brno, Czech Republic.
Marvellous facades in Brno
Some facades I came across near the railway station of Brno. In cities with railway stations built around 1900 one can see a lot of fascinating architecture near these stations. Therefore I love to stroll around these quarters and to take photos like these ones.
