And...finally, another view from Zelny Trh.

Here's another view of the Cathedral down Josefska.

This was, oddly, one of my first good photos of Brno Cathedral, in spite of my having had a much longer visit previously, and at this point in my second trip I had only just got off the train. Officially known as the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, it was built gradually during the 14th and 15th Centuries.

And....this was a Class 151 that I caught in one of the platforms. I didn't change trains here, though, so I had to get it from inside my own train.

This is Pardubice Hlavni Nadrazi, in Pardubice, regional capital (if that's the right word) for Pardubicky Kraj, on the border between Bohemia and Moravia.

This photo was meant to accompany a video I shot out the back of the train going something like 150-160 Km/h (90-100 m.p.h.), but unfortunately the camera malfunctioned (see my blog), so this is what I'm left with. Hopefully I'll have a chance to do another video soon.

This was a closeup I did to get the number. I guess it can be left up to the viewer to decide if this one is any good. I think the lightpost blocks the view of the nose too much, but I decided to include this one anyway.

I also spotted the Pendolino, or rather #682003-9, one of several Pendolino tilt trains on Ceske Drahy, sitting in another platform.

I'm not sure why I opted to keep this shot. It's a bit too blurry to fully satisfy me, but I think the combination of the trainshed and the City Elefant, even if I can't read the number, combined with the passengers on the left, makes for a nice scene. This was as I was waiting for my train to Brno.

This is a shot that I got from U Jeleni, which is a pub up near Prazky Hrad, although it's actually next to the Husinecka tram stop, hence this shot of a Tatra T3 out the window.

This is another heavily-edited shot, that I've marked as such. The original wasn't particularly well exposed, since getting an ideal balance was very difficult. I've brightened it, raised the contrast, and raised the saturation in Gimp. In any case, notice the crescent moon by the tower of the Stare Radnice? That's what I was trying to get.

This is a shot that I took walking back towards Hlavni Nadrazi from Linka 011, on Hybernska. This shot is heavily edited, because the negative was damaged in scanning. I think it looks alright now. This is Tatra T6A5 #8744.

This is as far as I hiked on this trip, as far as Cajirna nad Vokem, a tea house that now has an entrance on the ex-rail line. I don't know if it predates the conversion of the line, but now it is well integrated with it.

This is a concrete staircase that I'm fairly sure is of new construction, that helps hikers and bikers on the old Linka 011 bike trail to climb further up Vitkov (or whatever mountain this is).

This is another soft focus (again because either of the eyepiece or because of the shutter speed) shot that still looks good in small size. This is the view of Husitska from the opposite side of the Pendolino shot, so in other words we're facing away from Hlavni Nadrazi here. This illustrates the extent to which Husitska is narrow in comparison to the buildings on it, even if it generally isn't a narrower-than-average street.

This is a crop of the previous shot, illustrating the advantages of film, although I feel like I could have focused it better. I'm a little bit skeptical about the adjustment of the eyepiece of my camera (it adjusts to your glasses prescription, and I don't know how to set it 100% right).

This is a shot I got from the old bridge on the old Linka 011. Obviously, when I saw the chance for a shot of the Pendolino I didn't turn it down.
