A display upstairs in one of the houses along Prague’s Golden Lane. Conveniently, we happened to be at the Golden Lane just as the sun was setting, adding an even more golden glow to the place.

There are some shots which you know are going to come out well when you press the shutter, and to me, this is one of those shots. Using Lightroom’s “recovery” brought out the great tones on the book itself (it still looked good, but it was really improved) and I really like the colours and the shadows.

Say hello to my little friend. He came with us all the way from Prague… in a tube.

I figured that since it’s going to be difficult to come up with a new and interesting idea each day, that I would let different cultures and countries think them up for me.

Vietnam celebrates Confucius’ birthday today, and the hat we bought in Thailand fit the bill perfectly for this idea. I know it’s not really “Confucius-y” but it’s where the idea stemmed from.
