The same day that I took the Andel Tram Stop picture, I decided to wander down Stefanikova to see if I could take any good street or tram shots, and this was the first good shot I got. The strange looking building on the left is now owned and run by Komercni Banka, or KB, one of the Czech Republic's major banks, while the others are mostly apartment blocks of varying ages.

One of several St. Vaclav's churches in Prague, this one is considered to be Neo-Rennaissance in style. Again, maybe this shot isn't so great technically, as much of the lower part of the church is almost black, but I love how it looks.
