Hradec Králové, Czech Republic (August 2019)

This was the (distant) view from my hotel (Hotel Alessandria) in Hradec Králové while I stayed there during the 2019 Brutal Assault Festival. Those spires intrigued me, but I didn’t have a car, or extra time, to go explore.

When I did have a car, and a bit of time, in 2021, I checked out the Hradec Králové Old Town. It wasn’t as impressive as the photo below as at some point in history, someone thought it would be a good idea to turn the Old Town square into a parking lot.

Charlie Blackmon making the throw for the Rockies back in 2014

I stopped following MLB a while ago, but this was my random desktop background image of the day. Upon looking up Blackmon’s whereabouts before posting this, I was surprised to see that, 10 years later, he is still playing for the Rockies.

Russia has lost at least ten of these during their invasion of Ukraine. Do these four even exist anymore?
