Foto Friday – The Prague Metro
When I visited Prague I used the city’s metro system extensively to travel around, it was both efficient and quick. But purchasing a ticket for the journey however was possibly the hardest and slowest task I’ve experienced anywhere in the world.
While waiting on the platform by fluke I managed to snap this train as it sped into the station, no special settings just a snap and hope job.
Some stats: the Prague metro carries around 400 million passengers a year makiing it the seventh busiest metro system in Europe. It’s 30 years old and is mostly Russian-built.
We have a limited time on earth!
“It is only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it were the only one we had.” – Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
Foto Friday – Felucca upon the Nile
A lone Felucca drifts along the Nile at Aswan in the late afternoon. This photograph was taken while strolling around the gardens on Elephantine Island. The island has a long ancient history of habitation probably due to the fact that it is near the first Cataract of the Nile which provided a natural boundary between Egypt and Nubia.
