Praha - Day 4

The fourth day in PRG had us meandering through the city exploring its ethereal charm. It was fun.

Don't you love random pieces of outdoor art. I have no clue if these served any purpose, and if they did it sure as heck was not obvious, but each 'head' was different.

Old Town Square is fun, jammed pack with tourist and the perfect place to get pick-pockted (luckily I was safe). But the neat bit is this Clock Tower and it's astronomical clock, that does a fun dance thing on the hour.
The spirit of Don Giovanni. Turns out the Mozart opera opened 1787, just around the corner from where we were staying. Don't you just love Europe and it's quaint historical stuff :-)
I just thought this was a fun archway :-)
Now this is a knocker.
The National Museum. As far as museums go, it was ok - and all displays were in Czech, like whatever! - but the building itself was cool.

Random little dragon on a perch
In memoriam of Kafka.
To my pleasant surprise, Prague had a deep love affair with Art Nouveau.
I was really impressed with the architecture.

The Architecture is more than interesting. What an amazing city. Thanks for sharing your great photos.

More great pics. Those blue heads look a bit like those on Easter Island, although smaller, and bluer and well, not as impresive. But you get the idea :-)
