The statue of Franz Kafka

We do not really know what to think of this work, which already requires a minute or two to understand what it represents. Erected by Jaroslav Róna in 2003, in honor of Prague writer Franz Kafka, this bronze statue is located in the Josefov district of Prague, Czech Republic. The artist would have been inspired by Kafka's book, Description of a Combat (Beschreibung eines Kampfes) to create it. You will have to look high to admire the statue, which is still 3.75 meters.

Stone statue of Karel Hynek Macha located in the middle of the Petrin Hill in Prague. Macha was one of the most important Czech romantic poets and a prominent figure of the Czech literature of the 19th century.

It is one of the most beautiful squares in the world, and it is the cross of its entire history. Beautiful houses, a unique Astronomical Clock that does not have a single world, are the aisles where the guest of Prague can embrace the unique atmosphere of this exceptional city.

The caves and Moravian views are wonderful! it was really a good getaway and indulge in these nature sights. The peaceful walk through the forest was a great change of pace from all the cities we had been seeing lately, and the caves themselves were spectacular.

In pre-war Czechoslovakia, several hundred thousand Jews lived. Of course, they had their cemeteries as well.
During the Nazi occupation, most of their community was murdered. The other assets left behind were used by some. But what about the cemeteries? And so they gradually collapsed ...
Over the last 30 years, care is better for them. But relatives of the dead would care better.

This photo was taken on Klarov square in Prague.  You can see on it the Memorial of the Second Resistance Movement or Resistance Flag Monument.  It is a dedication to the second resistance movement to the Nazi occupation of the Czechoslovakia from 1938 to 1945.  In the background there are the dome of the church of St. Francis Seraph (dates back to 1679-1685), as well as the Old Town Bridge Tower.

Old Town Prague, The Dream City.
Prague is an amazing city, a fairy tale city, a city of dreams, a city where one wants to return and wander sensing his breathing, his pulsation and rhythm. Despite the crowds of tourists, cheating in exchangers and crowding come and enjoy.

This is the ceiling of Our Lady of the Snows (Panny Marie Sněžné) in Prague. Contrary to its appearance this is not the original gothic vaulted ceiling, but an early 17th century neo-mediaeval recreation (1607 to be exact). I found the yellowish beige ceiling color rather boring, except for the stars, which is why I decided to make it into a black and white photograph so as to highlight the elegance of the lines.

<b>The Janáček Academy of Music and Performing Arts </b> is one of two music and dramatic arts academies in Czech Republic. It was founded in 1947 and after hard times during communist regime, it got wide recognition as the regime collapsed and many members of staff came back.
