Description
I stumbled across this vintage lane almost by accident. I was walking around the one of the older districts of Prague late one afternoon when suddenly a thunderstorm erupted. I ran down this lane looking for shelter to escape the rain.
Almost as soon as it had started, the rain stopped. The clouds parted and the sun began to shine. The way the sunlight played on the wall recently soaked from the rain was almost magical. I managed to capture just this one image before it clouded over again and began to rain. I never did find any shelter in the lane.
As far as I can tell, this lane must be close to a thousand years old. With the exception of the ornate street light, it looks like it hasn't changed much in all those years.
