Fall Colors, Picture 25, Edited Version, Haje, Prague, CZ, 2013

This is technically within Prague, but is outside the sphere of development. The road I took this from essentially looks like it's out in the countryside.

This was more or less an accidental find. I wasn't expecting a bush to be this striking.

I had better luck with this shot. Zeiss lenses are great for this sort of subject matter, so that's why I wanted to try it.

Some of the newer buildings in the Sidliste projects are conventional houses, even if they're multi-unit. These are some of the houses on the Southern outer edge of Haje, before you get into Milichovsky les.

This is on the border with Milichovsky les. The fence on the right is actually for a pasture, behind which is Milichovsky les.

The color of the yellow tree on the right looks impossible, but it's real.

I don't know a lot about this building, other than that it's a school. I don't know if it's a new build or a rebuild of an older Communist-era building. A lot of the Communist-era buildings in the Sidliste projects have been renovated and repainted to look new.

This is an alternate to Picture 11. I think I still like 11 better, but I decided to post this anyway.

Sidliste projects can be ugly, or not. It can depend a lot on angles and perception.

The lighting on this shot wasn't ideal. I hadn't used my Zeiss-Ikon Contina LK in a few years, and had never used it for Fall colors, so I had a few duds. One problem with bad lighting, too, is that it kills the colors.

This was just a random, lucky shot with the Contina. When I saw the scene, I knew that I wanted it.

This was another random shot, taken at the Narodni Trida tram stop. The Metro station is hidden back in the construction site. During the 1990's-2000's, that construction site was home to a number of additional shops next to Tesco's, on the far left, although now it's reverted to its Communist-era appearance as a mudpit. I'm not sure exactly what the plan is for it, but it probably won't be left in this state for long.

Nadrazi Senohraby was recently modernised, and so I've been taking more photos there this year than in the past. The trains, however, are often still ancient, like this Class 451 "Pantograph" EMU from the 1960's.

A number of express trains don't stop in Hostivar, so I've been able to get quite a few action shots there. The snowy days are the best, though, since powdered snow exaggerates the sensation of speed.

There's usually a Class 742 diesel idling in Hostivar as well, handling local switching and freight as needed.

There's also a lot of freight traffic through Hostivar, mostly consisting of container trains. The next stop south is actually Urineves, which has an intermodal facility.
