STL DPB ON THE ROAD - AND GET YOUR WIG STYLED, TOO

 

Wandering around Prague in something between drizzle to light rain, a fairly miserable day. We came across this in part of the building where Woofie lived during his time in this city.                  

STL DPB ON THE ROAD - SOME GUY WHO WROTE WEIRD BOOKS

 

Out walking around Prague yesterday in the old Jewish Quarter when we happened upon  this arresting statue of Franz Kafka. I am at a loss to interpret it  (you could probably  look it up) but we are wearing ourselves out. Philip Glass wrote an opera on Kafka's book The Trial that we had in STL a few years ago.

First opera of the trip Friday night, Shostakovitch"s Lady Macbeth of Mtensk. OMG, the plot is lurid but I love the music.               

STL DPB ON THE ROAD - HOCKEY NIGHT IN CZECHIA

 

I don't know when these posts are going up in various time zoned but I wanted to get something published. We got to Prague Thursday afternoon in the usual state of jet lag. Walked around  the corner for dinner on a wet evening. The local cuisine is hearty. Ice hockey is a big deal here and Czech teams do well in international competition.       

A BIG BUNCH OF ARTIC (SEE LINK)

 

I edited maybe a dozen Artica photos yesterday and I want to get them uploaded before we travel today. Each has something to say for itself but there isn't time to comment on every one. This display was four or five folding tables long, with printouts of a single words wrapped around blocks of wood. Visitors were invited to arrange them into any kind of mini-poetry they pleased. This was one of my Artica favorites.

Check the album with many images at https://www.flickr.com/photos/bobcrowe/albums/72177720336009626/ . All the images will be on my Facebook feed Thursday mirning my time. Today's a long travel day and I'll try to edit some of the burn of Our Lady of Artica along the way.            

AROUND ARTICA

 

I'd like to survey some of the work at Artica before I get busy with other stuff. Wednesday into Thursday is a long travel day and there will be plenty to shoot at our destination. This structure invited visitors to write out their wishes and feelings and clip them into a structure called a dream catcher. Zoom in if you can.
