Prague


Most of the buildings in Prague have detailed artwork, whether statues or paint, like on this pizzeria.



The Charles Bridge, spanning the River Vltava, is very impressive. Along the bridge are several statues lining the edges. During the day it is packed full of vendors and tourists.


Here is one of the statues along the bridge. The black thing in the background is a bird that was flying around when I was taking the picture--what a ham.



The astronomical clock was a big attraction. On every hour, some figures around the clock, such as the skeleton, become animated.


Here is a video of the clock in action. Try to focus on the skeleton on the top right of the frame.
