My last day in Prague, the sun decided to come out, not just for the first time here, but the first time in many weeks anywhere in Eastern Europe.
I knew I had a good view out the window of my boat hotel, but in the sunrise, it's like a painting
The only way to see Prague on a day like this is to look up
There are sculptures everywhere, way up high
This is a modern-looking woman
Why doesn't every country have a bronze chariot & horses galloping off a tall building?
Why doesn't public art have this kind of richness & grandeur anymore?
The middle building has something interesting looking way, way up at the top
Oh...it's a svelte & confident fellow
What is hanging off this apartment building?
A man in a suit with a briefcase, hanging onto an umbrella
This is the Dancing Building. It's in honor of Fred Astaire (the straight building on the right) & Ginger Rogers (the curved one on the left).
These statues often capture such motion & emotion
Goodbye river, goodbye Charles Bridge, goodbye grand, over-the-top Prague. I'll miss you.
bye Prague!
