Today was a go out and look at stuff day. Jennida and I left fairly late in the afternoon, around 3pmish armed only with our iphones as possible image capture devices. I wanted to move around unencumbered and just have a chance to look around before looking full time down the long barrel of a camera lens. It was also my first real walk about in two and a half weeks so…. did I mention it snowed? So we headed up and out around the outskirts of town toward the castle gardens…, which were closed! :( We continued on admiring the view back into town along the way. There are so many interesting vantage points and details to look at. It is quite unique. Along the way I just kept snapping away with my phone, sort of as test shots or “notes” for later. I cannot imagine what this place must be like in the summer.
It is 4 degrees Celsius and there are loads of people out posing for photos in front of statues and doors and bushes and walk ways. I heard one woman say to another, “do you want me to take your picture in front of that? It would be a shame to come all the way here and not get your picture in front of it.” Now I’m not sure what “it” was because their whole family was standing in front of “it” making sure that every one got a turn before anyone else could get at “it.” So I moved on. After walking for a couple of hours we stopped back at the Centrum to inquire about the Advent proceedings, and found out there was a lighting ceremony the next day. After that we went and had a cup of coffee in one of the local shops. Our first coffee shop coffee. And with that we adjourned back to the spot until we left to meet up with Michael and Zdenka for another wonderful evening of conversation and Pivo.
