The tower of Old City Hall and the Tyn Church

"So, baby, what's a hot hunk of limestone like you doing in a place like this?"

Charles Bridge and Hradcany (Prague Castle).

One of the towers on the Stare Mesto end of Charles Bridge. Shortly after taking this picture, I had to run interference for another American tourist -- he was trying to take a picture along the bridge, and one of the trinket peddlers on the bridge was shining a mirror in his face and camera, keeping him from taking a picture. Not sure if the guy's objective was to simply annoy the tourist or to extort a couple bucks out of the guy. I stood in the way for a moment as I passed between them, just long enough for the American to get his picture. Considering how angry the tourist was getting, I probably saved the peddler a thrashing by doing so.

Well, of course...when you think of Franz Kafka, the first thing you think of is explosive fun.

St. Vitus Cathedral.

I'm guessing that a statue like this posted next to the front door is a more effective warning to prospective burglars than a "Beware of Dog" sign.
