Marie Šechtlová and Josef Šechtl: September: View to the old town, from Kotnov Castle tower, 1960s.

Marie Šechtlová and Josef Šechtl

Such roofs! You are beautiful, both when new, and when falling apart. You are like the tousled hair of children; the coiffed heads of ladies; and the thinning grey hair of the old. You are changing in front of our eyes, but only roofers and chimney-sweeps see it. Passers-by are oblivious.
