Photography Buff

Daisy and I took our good friend Margot Buff out for a ride on some of our favorite local trails and to some of our favorite cycling haunts -- Únětický Pivovar and U Lasiku, to be specific.

Margot's a talented filmmaker, videographer, and photographer (and I'm thrilled that she's letting me publish some of her photos of the ride here on my blog).

We met up at Vítězné náměstí in Prague 6, headed down to the Vltava, and rode along the west side of the river north to the village of Roztoky. From there we took the beautiful forest path to Únětice and then on to our old home village of Černý Vůl to check on and feed Oscar, our longtime pet feral cat, as we do once a week or so. (Read more about Oscar here.)

We drank a few beers, ate our fair share of the lovely homemade pies and tarts at U Lasiku, and generally had a fantastic afternoon on the bikes.

Daisy and Margot enjoy the house specialty at Únětický Pivovar from just the cutest little mugs.

While we were sitting at the Únětický Pivovar, a man and his wife drove up in this Daimler convertible coupe. I believe he said it was a 1952 model. Gorgeous, gorgeous car.
