Cameraphone Crap

This was my tram, service 17, worked by tram #9078, which would take me to Dvorce.

This is the old Dvorce weigh station, or so I'm told. it isn't actually for weighing trams or trucks, but actually for weighing boats. How it works, however, is unclear to me, as there doesn't appear to be a lock to put the boat in.

I took the tram to Dvorce not to get another tram or bus, but actually to take one of the new PID (Prazska Intergrovana Doprava) ferries. These ferries have the same old DPP maps and schedule sheets as the trams, Metro trains, funiculars, and buses, even though they don't run officially under DPP. The DPP passes are, however, valid on them, same as on Ceske Drahy, as CD, DPP, and the ferries are what make up PID.

While I was waiting for the ferry, I took a large number of duck and swan photos, and even a video or two. This was the one I decided to post.

This was the PID ferry for Cisarska Louka, the "Blanice."

The "Blanice" even had a PID logo on the side, which come to think of it is a bit unusual, as most PID services carry the markings of their constituent operators only.

This was a shot that I took not from the bridge (as in boat control room), but from behind it, as there are windows both in the front and the rear on the "Blanice."

After we got underway, the main scenic attraction on the way was Vysehrad, seen here.

There was, as usual, a lot of other traffic on the river, mostly tourboats and private boats rather than ferries, though. This was the "Andante,"; a tourboat.

Every summer, this field in Sidliste Krc is used for things like circuses, carvinal rides, etc., but often horses are brought along, too. The rides were behind me when I took this. The orange line through the picture is the electric fence.

This is just the Andel station sign, which is post-1989 and relatively run-of-the-mill.

I was so interested in photographing Andel Metro that I passed up this first train to come through, although I still photographed it.

Here's my second good shot of a T3R.PLF, in this case 8263 rolling into the Narodni Trida stop. The tram on the right is T3SU #7152.

This is a tram stop that I haven't photographed before, Brevnovsky Klaster, which means Brevnov Monastery. This tram is T3SU #7070.

While I was in Brevnov, I had some time to photograph more than the tram stop, so I walked over to the monastery.

Strangely, the Brevnov Monastery is also home to a garage, Brabec Pneuservis.

Here's another shot of the monastery, with the garage in the foreground.

Here's one of the wrecked cars at the garage........providing an um......interesting(?) foreground to the monastery
