A beautiful sunday - Max

Panelák is the colloquial name of blocks of high-rise panel buildings in the Czech Republic constructed of pre-fabricated, pre-stressed concrete. It is estimated that 33% of the Czech population lives in a panelák.

I used to live for one year and half in a panelák,  it was spacious and comfortable. Neighbors are generally courteous and polite. Despite the evident ugliness of the buildings, I had the chance to have a beautiful view on the nature, without any building in sight in front of my balcony.

More infos here. That’s all for tonight!

    Beautiful! Very moody picture! I stumbled across your photoblog and I’ve got to say it really stands out. If you would like to contribute some pictures to my site for quality artistic photos I’d be more than happy! Our screeners will give you useful feedback on every shot uploaded and if you get five pictures accepted we will post your blog’s address so that even more people will have the pleasure of finding it! I hope you could find some inspiration there too. Cheers // Ralf

    Hello Ralf, thank you! This is just a beginning and we intend to explore more seriously starting from this weekend.

    This project is for me a little change, because I tend to focus sort of on portraits and general street photo, without a theme.

    I am checking your website, it seems very interesting, and I have seen beautiful photos there. I will check it more in-depth soon. By the way, more photos of me can be seen at Flickr : http://www.flickr.com/photos/darkkavenger

    Cheers ;)

    They remind me of the ones all over Poland. I was quite fascinated by them for some reason!
