Description
Prague is the capitol city of the Czech Republic, and is bisected by the Vltava River. Nicknamed “the City of a Hundred Spires,” it's known for its Old Town Square, the heart of its historic core, with colorful baroque buildings, Gothic churches and the medieval Astronomical Clock, which gives an animated hourly show. Completed in 1402, pedestrian Charles Bridge is lined with statues of Catholic saints. My husband and I visited this amazing city on a recent tour of central Europe. Although we had three days there, it was not really enough time to experience all this city has to offer. I enjoy capturing glimpses that illustrate the city vibe in a different and unique way, rather than just taking photos of the usual sights in a given city. This window, with its unusual embellishments and vivid brick background, caught my eye while waiting for a bus on a busy street corner. For me, it is images like this one that truly tell the story of a city.
