Abandoned tin mine and processing factory Rolava

Steel city

Roughly after 10 years I have visited Vitkovice again. It is not abandoned and rusted steel factory only anymore (I’ll try to find the pics from that first visit to compare later this week), but a living place with galleries, expositions, tours, concerts and more. This time we went with kids to Science and Technology center Ostrava. It is as the place suggests and unlike other similar places (such as Technorama in Winterthur) dedicated to explain steel production and the products made from it such as cars, trains, planes, ships, etc. On the other hand the similarity with other science centers is the kids love it – spent half a day over there. There are two more science and technology options for poor weather days with kids: IQ Park in Liberec and Techmania in Plzen.

Collected: four “seasons” over a piece of New York in Prague

Half of the days my morning starts with short walk from Vaseskolka at Vysehrad to Node5 at Smichov. I use railway bridge at Vyton to cross Vltava which @frzng mentioned as the only one piece of New York in Prague. I started to take the pictures of the bridge under different weather conditions in late autumnt last year, got pretty quickly first three images, but had to wait a long time before I collected the fourth one last week – the sun. No suprise as I heard in the radio the number of sunny days in this winter is far bellow the average. And we have the winter back this week :(
