Early Morning Stroll
Motherland Tour II/ Czech Republic
Very early morning stroller through the empty cobbled streets of Prague. This was a little bonus shot for me that I captured after taking sunrise pictures on the Charles Bridge (check back for them). I think that the leading lines of the white window grates directed straight at the stroller work well to make this simple shot very visually engaging.
Charles Bridge, Prague
Motherland Tour II/ Czech Republic
Charles Bridge over the Vltava River. Commissioned by King Charles IV in 1357, Prague’s most stunning bridge spans 16 arches and is lined with 30 Baroque statues of religious figures.
Imagine Peace
Motherland Tour II/ Czech Republic
Lennon Wall, where “young alcoholics, mentally deranged, sociopathic, and agents of Western capitalism” would come to voice their grievances against communism and oppression during the ’80s. At that time, western music and western symbols were banned in what was then Czechoslovakia.
Love Locks and Waterwheel – Prague
Motherland Tour II/ Czech Republic
For the uninitiated, these are all padlocks with messages written or etched onto them, mostly consisting of (you) + (me) initials surrounded by a heart.
