Eastern Europe: Poland, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria Travel Photography

I’ve always been a fan of history and am highly intrigued by WW2.  So when I went to Eastern Europe last winter it really brought some things into perspective.  Walking through Prague, Warsaw, Krakow, Berlin, Vienna, Slovakia and Budapest was an inxperience I won’t forget.  I think every American should walk the streets of a Third World country and a country with a history of 1000 years or more.  It truly puts a perspective on what we have and need to appreciate.  I took these photos with a Holga which is a cheap, Russian made camera I have to tape together to make sure light doesn’t hit the film!  If you would like to see more go to mistilayne.smugmug.com/. I look forward to any comments you may have!
