Back from Prague
"A first sign of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die" - Franz Kafka
Got back in from Prague by catching what amounted to being the overnight train. Rode along the blackened country side to the glow of an almost full moon as I watched lonely fields covered in a thin mist. I cursed the fact that couldn't stop the train and snap some pics.
I'm annoyed that somehow I missed the fine detail of my camera being in JPG and not raw mode for the first day of shooting. Fortunately that was the grayer day so the loss is none too great.
I can't remember the last time my feet hurt as much as they do now. But enough, here is a photo as I made my way up to Prague castle. It's yet another 300-400 year old building that seems to litter that side of the city.

Gorgeous looking building and lighting.
Nothing like a new city to remind you that you have feet.

A beautiful photo. Do you use the internal light meter or a hand held one reading incident light on these long exposures?
