trashpicking in kyoto

Kyoto, the old city, has always been a great place for trashpicking. This image of Charles Bridge, with the castle in the background, is from a begrimed book of pre-World War I photographs of Prague. A friend in Kyoto found the book in his landlady's trash one morning several years ago and, knowing my fascination for Prague, sent it to me. I was looking at it the other day. Winter always brings Central Europe to mind.
