it so hot, and not just outside, that my computer is overheating. So I took it apart, assembled it back and still got some parts left, yay :)
I feel like my brain'ss overheating too


for start, something from Brno, later from home, enjoy

K-Lynn at Masks festival, Brno. Next to life-sized festivals logo


people could get painted, flowers, ornaments, you know that stuff.



Kate's first flower



there are no words to describe the moment captured here



shooting the shooter.



some kid looking bored



a Leica man with some Tri-Elmar lens






oh, there were many photographers, some looked.. well less serious. Yet I could be wrong.



DANTE - ad for local theatre play



I've also met Lenka with her sister



K-Lynn again, passing leaflets to people in the town



I'm not quite sure, but I think the lady wasn't part of the masked actors group



more photographers. I'd like to see some photos from her, some 1D with superwide lens. Neat shooting peoples backs.



kids running after a huge kangaroo. I had a idea of stepping on its tail.






Polarka - alternative theatre



more flowers for Kate



later, in old weapon factory area. Now used as an industrial area with many facilities.
A signpost leading to Car interior cleaning and Confectionary factory






reminds me of V. Zapletalova's work, Rourouvni



series of rusty old ventilation system



Z as Zbrojovka - weapon factory


and some leftovers, who know how old



some area that looked like it was shower some time ago



some streetart intervention



keychain without key, box of unknown purpose



WC at cooling tower, it sure looked like a dump in there







being here at night could be a little scary, wind blowing through the rusty air vent






me, sitting with Kristina, just after her masters degree exam


she took the photo of me




lady observing fishes at one of Brno parks



icq chat at the balcony



new tram in town? I've seen couple of those (because of some gay parade)



another interesting car interior, thinking about making a series of car intreries



little restless guy in a tram



back home, looking for churches in villiages around




some shots from world gliding championship, more or less all BW
many questions crossed my mind during this shooting. e.g. why they need so much of white duct tape



chopper ride, only for 40€, got very popular. It was in air every possible minute



one of many photographers, except this one being even more lazy than me



battle axe for kids, one € only :)



and other medieval age games, even crossbow, though weak, very weak, probably woudn't hit the target anyway











skydivers during a TV interview



another mirror, I just couldn't resists, as usual. I hate that canon strap, very unpractical, yet my kodak strap is way to short for this camera



Karol likes any mirroring surface just as well, many his great photos can be found on WGC page




sightseeing plate few moments before taking off





firecrew member pumping water into a plane, for upcomming show


pilots of the sightseeing plane as seen from inside. too bad the window, and not just that one, was so dirty and scratched


love the wideangle.


another mirrored surface, helmet of an acrobatic chopper





another group entering the red chopper



here some girls, most time the pilot didn't even turn off the engine, but it seemed safe to stand around






australian team with their mascot, I think the only team with a mascot



don't know if an american flag is an mascot. they had at least one for each member





old glider made entirely from wood, with top speed of 100km/h







my father asked me why I didn't shoot in color, that the flag would look better in color. I think it would look just the same. We all know how an american flag looks, don't we?



a girl with balloons





winners post taken outside yet the prices were given inside. A nice lookout place during the airshow.



fun for the whole family




people got almost everywhere to have better view of the airport, even on gas tanks. Didn't even notice the Senior residence ad then.



people looking against sun, where the plane was flying. I think there's a photo of it somewhere on the WGC page. Or some of my photography friends took a photo when the plane crossed the sun.



fans of acrobatic flying, the pilot on the right side, others are some competitors from around the globe





I had borrowed some lens for this few day and well it flares a bit. Later I've found out it was caused mostly by the UV filter.



Karol capturing plane fly over the crowd. Neat crowd for this little town.






Everytime I a lens like this, it just makes me smile. Yet the public opinion is as it is - bigger is better.



former pilot from group of historical warfare plane club with one of the planes



they were simulating fight between russians and germans



hard to see, the engine is running and the technician's trying to speak to the pilot (the were som problems)



people again watching sky, although the fight took place just few meters above ground



bombing simulation as watched from "behind the lines" were only competitors were allowed



X-plod-ed





next morning more than a hundred planes ready to take off





father and son I suposse making last pre-flight preparations, or atleast one of them





we all do



track checking before getting in the air



on other note, jazz concert at Bojnice castle



no words can describe the atmosphere



it was bit romantic with all the candles, old castle walls and jazz music



went to mountains few days later, it was kinda a dog day. I've seen 6 or 7 that day, in the mountains I mean.
And not all were so called outdoor types.



a grave at the top of the mountain



another one with a group of czech tourists
