One of the many street musicians in this beautiful city.

Prague pre-sunset panorama
Taking panorama shots in crowded places could be tricky. This particular photo was an absolute pain in the butt to stich together. Moving people and different levels of light (because of a time of the day) all around the square did not help at all. But I’m satisfied with the result. …. oh almost forgot HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!!

Love locks
Today I’m feeling inspirational so I’ll be posting 3 whole pictures. The first one in particular has once been selected as a cover for my local university newspaper, a copy of which proudly collects dust somewhere in the corner of my room. All three pictures are from the same place in Prague, just next to the famous “Lennon wall”. Those who’ve been to Prague have probably seen both.
The story goes that couples/newlyweds come to this spot and put a lock onto the metal bar as a symbol of their strong, unbreakable, everlasting, solid as a lock love. I’ve seen a few similar places in Europe but this one stands out in my memory a little more than the others.
Hideout in the shade
It was a hot day in Prague and what better way to cool down than jump into a nice cool swimming pool …….. which as you’ve guessed wasn’t an option, so I opted out for the next best thing: hideout in the shade accompanied by live music. Not too bad either:D
Prague roofs
Is he any good?
This is another picture from the Charles Bridge (Karlův most) in Prague. It’s one of the most popular attractions in the city which means that it’s always packed with tourists, you know the ones I always complain about (despite the fact that I am one too). But on the good side tourists do bring painters like this guy out to the street (or in this case bridge). So is he any good?
