Also at Vitezne Namesti, coming out of the roundabout (which the trams obviously cross at a right angle to each other, straight through it in all four directions), is Skoda 14t #9132, which I don't think I've posted a photo of yet.

This is the other unrebuilt Tatra KT8D5 that I know of, #9030. This shot, like my photo of 9014, is at Vitezne Namesti.

Recently, the KT8 fleet underwent a thorough rebuilding programme to equip them with modern computerised destination boards, new seats and wheelchair access, CCTV, dual headlights and other features, with the rebuilt units being designated KT8D5RN2P, as opposed to the original DPP specification of KT8D5. As such, the original D5's have become exceedingly rare, and until I spotted this one in Vitezne Namesti, I thought they had all been retired. Soon after I shot this, I also spotted 9030, which appears to also be unrebuilt, but I'm not aware of how many others are left.

The wreath laying was the central part of this ceremony, and this was the best shot I got of it.

I haven't taken too many military photos in the Czech Republic, for the obvious reason that I assume they don't like being photographed. In this case, though, it was a public occassion to remember those lost in World War II, at one of the war memorials in Vitezne Namesti. I took many photos of this, but only found two worth uploading since in most of the shots the soldiers themselves were blocking the view, and since I had my cameraphone I didn't have a zoom lens.
