Particularly the last category, the idea of a nocturnalist is pretty appealing. I think too often as a photographer, I limit myself to taking photos during the daytime and utilizing the natural sunlight. But, already during the first week of this trip, I have fallen in love with night photography, walking around the dark city, streets abandoned, the light glistens on the wet cobblestone streets, streetlamps provide ample lighting to a photo, and popular tourist destinations take on an entirely different appeal/significance. Here are some photos from Monday night...a nocturnalist visiting the Prague Castle and its surroundings.

Nocturnalist: Prague Castle
For our Maymester blog we have several different categories that we must fulfill including:
morning glories: pictures during the A.M.
weekend miser: cheap weekend activities
location notations: sense of place
small wonder: details worth appreciating
not from these parts: visitors & tourists
noticed: visual appreciation
angels in the architecture: ten centuries of architecture
over here: things unique to Czech culture
a thousand words: duh.
the nocturnalist: night wanderings
