Common places in Czechia

Wed Oct 31, 2007, 6:58 AM
When I was returning home from the school, I got an idea. Idea about taking some photographs of places I see every day and putting them up on the web with few commentary words. To be not misunderstood, I neither mean those famous places which can be seen on postcards nor shots of somehow interesting places, things or actions. The idea is about commonness: Every day you look out of the window, you very often stand at the bus stop and it is not uncommon for you to buy food at local stand; these all are places we don't take any great notice of, but they can be interesting.

I have always liked browsing Google Earth, zooming in to various cities and clicking on those tiny Panoramio marks to view photos and trying to guess, which building has whis purpose, where are those people going, why are the streets build that way. I also always wanted to visit many cities like Ljubljana, Vilnius or Samarkand, not for some architectural monuments or for known places of interest, but for the feeling of the place’s genius loci, to see the living culture. And I hope I am not the only one who feels this way, so maybe somehow will find things common for me, or for us, interesting. Few years ago I read a book by Richard P. Feynman, where he complained about his wife, because when they had been on vacation in Japan, she decided to visit a village forgotten by all tourist both Japanese and those from abroad, because she wanted to see the REAL Japan. Okay. Why not to see the REAL Bohemia?

And another reason why: I saw once in Prague subway an advertisement on a “;purly Czech vodka” and the ad was full of text describing contrasts in Czech culture and nature of the Czech like “THOSE WHO HAVE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAPITALS IN EUROPE cut it through with a highway” or “A NATION WHICH WORSHIP ITS NATIONAL HERO who didn’t even exist”. This ad inspired me to look for those contrasts, so typical for our nation, around us. Let’s see them on those photos.

I am not sure if this would be interesting and also I am not sure, how long I will be enjoying this. We’ll see.
