This nicely red and round tram, designed in 1960 in Prague, is what I take almost every day. Both cursed and beloved, the first for presenting the most ordinary everyday life, the second for being unique and pretty. It has seats of beautiful shape, very sixties ... and terrible to sit on.
Picture of the seats comes from here.Don't be mistaken that the discarded types of trams end up on scrap heap. Golden Czech hands, somebody would say. These two bellow are garden houses, the last one is a beehive. The second one appeals to me personally (perhaps because of the trees in blossom around).
Masarykovo nádraží v Praze. The second biggest railway station after the main station. Might disappear from the Earth surface in few decades. Somebody would like to build on lucrative areas in the heart of Prague.

Seeing those "repurposed" derailed train cars reminded me of a wonderful movie I saw ages ago: Harold and Maude!
I would love to visit Prague ... may be one day ...
I liked travelling on the trams in Prague. Trams are becoming popular again in English cities.
Great idea to reuse those trams! Our city is too small to have a tram but it looks like a nice way to travel :)
What beautiful pictures! Thanks! Hugs!-Jane
Like Isabelle, I would like to visit this beautiful city.
I like tram.
I reply here to your question : the kids toys are mainly Playmobil except the autorickshaw and the taxi bought in India and Thaïland ...
I think it would be wonderful to have one of those old train cars!
My sister-in-law and her husband went to Prague last year and loved it.
Neat neat pictures ! I love the last one !! I would love to visit Prague ... ah, so many places to visit ! So little time ...
I love the idea of a recycled tram as a garden house, I would chose the last one too simply based on the color. The seats look great from a design standpoint, but I can't say that they look great from a comfort point of view.
Such beautiful photos! What a beautiful country.
love your country.
somehow seems so familiar to me.
i like the way you put it!
thanks!

I like how you show that the trams are reused. Very neat post.

They are so beautiful! I love the re-used trams. And the last shot with the city and layers of dark metal tracks above each other is amazing.
