Prague, early morning in mid-summer. Nobody about, apart from a bus-load of Japanese with
their Nikons and tripods, waiting for a dawn shot on the Charles Bridge (they didn’t get it - just
before dawn their bus returned to whisk them off to their next selfie. I expected hara-kiri all
round). It seemed I had Prague to myself until I turned a corner and found a waitress laying
out tables for breakfast. Before she got round to this corner, I grabbed the shot: half an hour
later it would have been impossible.
A memorable start to the day: I’d also managed to get the dawn shot at the bridge that the
Japanese guys had missed, plus a low-angle shot of the golden face of Prague’s famous
Astronomical Clock, illuminated by a shaft of equally golden sunlight slanting across the rooftops
of the Old Town. The Old Town Hall itself, in which the clock is set, was still gloomy from night.
By then I was hungry, but the cafe didn’t open for another hour.
