Last week, I made these photos at Prague\u2019s Main Station using my Lumix LX7.<\/p>\n

Among the station’s architectural attractions are its arched entryway and domed waiting room. Since my visit in 2000 this dome has been restored to its former glory. Lumix LX7 view looking up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A CD passenger train waits under the twin span arched train shed. This angle was made by placing the Lumix on the station platform to hold the camera steady during the relatively long exposure. To minimize camera shake I used the self timer (set to 2 seconds).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here\u2019s and excerpt of my text:<\/p>\n

In 1919, Prague main station was renamed Wilsonova N\u00e1drazi in honor of American president Woodrow Wilson. The name was dropped after German annexation and occupation during World War II, and appears to have been forgotten during the postwar period of Soviet influence that prevailed until the Czech Velvet Revolution in November 1989. The name change was the least of the station\u2019s problems. During this dark period of Czech history, the station was allowed to deteriorate and by the mid-1990s was a dismal shadow of its former glory.<\/span><\/p>\n
