Christmas Decorations Outside Bata, Prague, CZ, 2006

Bata is one of the oldest shoe store chains in the Czech Republic, and I think this is their biggest and most important store, on Vaclavske Namesti in Prague (if I'm wrong on these points, someone please let me know). It's getting close to Christmas now, of course, so there are Christmas decorations all up and down Vaclavske Namesti.

One of the busiest Christmas setups is in Staromestske Namesti, the Old Town Square of Prague, where a stage has been set up (out of the picture to the right) for folk dancing and music.

Kotva is a large (supposedly Russian-owned) department store near Namesti Republiky in Prague, and they now have Christmas lights all over the whole store. This Christmas tree, off to one side, is in an odd spot, though.

This is the Mustek end of Vaclavske Namesti, decorated for Christmas of 2006, although Christmas is still more than a week away. The purple lights on the tree are an original touch, I think.

Before, I forget, I also saw this in Berlin. :-) Yeah, it's tasteless, but most Christmas decorations are, aren't they? No word on whether they wanted this to be St. Nicholas (Santa Claus), or Christmas Mann, their ripoff on the materialistic, secular American mutilation of St. Nicholas. :-)

This was one of my best shots of the trip, even if the greenish-yellow color temperature is a bit much. I like the sky, in particular, and I attribute the overall quality of this shot to the excellent (and expensive) Ektachrome E100GX film that I was shooting. It's not as nice as Kodachrome, but I still really, really like it. :-)

This is a shot that I meant to post with my other Brussels shots, but just never got around to. I hope you like it. :-)
