Prague

Erik’s photo of Václavské náměstí made me notice that there is no thread just for photos of or from Praha / Prague. So here is a thread.

Never been there so I'd love to see some pictures.

I thought that the cuddly bear holding a well-used AK-47 was hilarious

For those of you who have not visited, this is a sculpture by David Černy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Černý of Sigmund Freud. It is here: Google Maps

For a short time we lived around the corner on Jilská, and I walked past Freud every day.

We were lucky and stumbled on Černy's Freud, as well as his Piss sculpture at the Franz Kafka Museum (I shot a video of that one!). Amusingly, we discovered later that his Freud was also displayed in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which happens to be where my wife is from (we live in Seattle). After it was initially put up, 7 stories above the street, police and fire were called from people seeing what they thought was a real human hanging above the street!

Wonderful 👍 photos all. Prague has much character*!

Our ceiling, Praha, 1999. This ceiling was hand painted in the 12-13th century. When the building was subsequently ‘renovated’ it was covered.

This is great, really evocative of the feeling I had first time in the city in the 1990s. Thank you.
