[rudgej]

Here are a few shots of the artistic talents of the inhabitants of Prague in the Czech Republic.

Very interesting to say the least, ha.

Thanks. I did take several hundred more typical shots over a weekend, but I thought that these ones gave a different take on Prague.

Love the first one John!

Great photos.

I don't remember exactly where it was but did you get a photo of the statues on the stairs. There are 5 or 6 with the one on the lowest step complete and the one longest away is almost disintegrated completely.

Thanks A01 and Tommy. I know the statues you are talking about as I saw a photo of them on these forums. Unfortunately I didn't come across them when I was there.

Awesome stuff. I love this kind of urbanity and you've captured it really well.

Nice ... I must get to Prague sometime. I'm not so much into European travel usually but it is one city that I think would interest me. Like Barcelona there seems to be so much more to it that the usual tourist stuff.

I recommend it, in fact i recommend doing as much of eastern europe as possible. i went by train from istanbul to moscow last year, through bulgaria, romania, czech rep, hungary, slovakia, poland, lithuania and then russia... all of those places worst visiting! i can tell from your posts that it would be your kind of thing Brasov, Krakow, Budapest and Prague are highly recommended. Prague was full of tourists (in mid summer) so maybe an out of season visit would be best, it was full of walking tours, 50 or more tourists trampling around like sheep with you just getting pushed into doorways whilst they do their thing. not pleasant... didnt experience that anywhere else though.

Yup ... that sums up why I am less keen on Europe and more into developing countries. Never been one to follow the crowd and also while there are clear differences in each and every European country they are not strong enough these days to really attract my interest. I mean, a Macchiato is the same pretty much whichever branch of Starbucks you drink in I'm not that much into history either so ... each to their own tho'. I prefer Africa and the Far East. Different.

Thank you all for the comments, although I had the easy job of pushing a button on the camera - the credit must go to the artists.

Interesting. I like the photos but you just gotta love eastern Europe culture. It paints a different picture of what they have been through over the years.
