Prague - a city of thousand spires !

 this was mother and son at the tram station. while laughter is not rare, this moment was indeed as candid as it can get.

 of all the things in the world the least i expected was a waiter at VIVA to flaunt a hindi tattoo - on the way to Prague

 RIP MR Havel :(

 i liked the order of age in the faces

 the nation paid its homage

 and a solitary rose almost lost in the background of the thousands of homage candles

 the mesmerising astronomical clock - still functioning - and so much detail

 i still do not know what it means - but the arrangement was arresting

 there are 8 such figurines around the clock

 on the stroke of every hour the windows open , the revolving statues appear. followed by the rooster's crowing and the blow of a trumpet by a guy from atop the tower

 looked as if ameya was carrying the huge tree :)

 ivy on the wall is always good enough for a snap

 view from the top - reminded me of Sighisoara

 the castle

 another view

 only way the twin towers could be framed at level was from the top of the tower

 ameya gets easily bored inside a cathedral or a basilica or a museum or a monument or a.... or a .....

 what the .... seems to be on his mind

 a sample of countless stained glass

 the interior of the cathedral

 a brief sunshine and the birds took flight

 what is a big city without graffiti

 the castle at dusk

 blessing look

how can a woman not pray inside a place of worship

 the well known lennon wall

 crystal shop with hand cut crystals - the price tag is prohibitive - but a snap is for free

 my fav snap for two reasons - kafka's house and ameya's look

just another window along the golden lane, or is it?
a tiring three days but excellently fulfilling. a wonderful city that must be on a must see list of everybody.
