Seen through a window in Prague, sixteen years ago. One wonders what has happened to them since and where they are now.

Addendum: This photo was shown in the Bronx Banter in April 2011.

Kafka

I like cemeteries and I like Franz Kafka, so when we were in Prague in 1994, I definitely had to visit the New Jewish Cemetery in Žižkov where Kafka was buried. It's a beautiful place and it has all what I like about cemeteries - peace, quietness, hints of the past, and sometimes signs of neglect and decay.

I had just started to photograph "in earnest" and I don't think any of my photos from Prague are really good. But this one at least captures the mood of the place on this particular afternoon quiet well.

Taken in September with the Nikon on Ilford HP5 Plus.
