Prague seems to be big in puppets. So I took a photo of one. *click*

There were a lot of people fishing in the city's river, most of them were old blokes taking it easy.

Two statues sitting out the front of the Musuem, they over look Wenceslas Square. I used a cross processing technique for this image. I quite like how it turned out too.

As a photographer, getting up before dawn and walking the city streets to your destination, you get to see some pretty cool and strange things in the wee morning. This was going on 3 mornings in a row, a movie of some sort. They had a crane holding that big soft box over the scene, quite cool!

On top of Petrin Hill is an observation tower that looks over the whole of the city in every direction; kind of like a mini Eifel tower. I hung my body and camera out the window to get this shot, whilst the tower was swaying side to side. Not the ideal conditions for someone who is scared of heights.

This is what it looks like on the way up or down. Basically you walk around the towers centre pole until you get to the top. Again, not the best situation for someone ready to crap their pants.

One of the few moments that the sun actually came out during my stay. I literally ran from Old Town, all the way up these steps to the Palace to try and get golden sunset over the city. I wish I was up on Petrin Hill, it would have been a better vantage point.

Some religious ornament on Charles Bridge. People are supposed to stand on a stud on the ground, touch the cross on the ledge, and then touch the saint on the iron work. Who knows, maybe it gives you supernatural powers.

This is me overlooking the city from part way up Petrin Hill. I swear I must do more excersise then the average tourists. I don't know anyone who is willing to carry camera equipment like I do, walk for hours around the city and still climb up steep hills like this.

This is one of those blessed early morning situations. This guy was fishing in the middle of the river with the street lights reflecting right in his direction. I shot 4 photos of this guy before the lights turned off, good timing.

Most of the glass in St Vitus is actually painted, not stained. I think painted looks better anyway, it has more detail.

This is pretty much how the sun was the entire time I was in Prague. It was so overcast that I could look directly into the sun and take a photo.

Each time I passed the river near Charles Bridge I would see these swans paddling around looking for food. God knows how many people have photographed them.

This was my last morning in Prague. Again, I was hoping to get some good sunrise shots, but ended up with cloud. So instead I tried to get a long exposure and freeze the mist and water. By the time I had setup my camera the mist had gone, but I still got a nice 'still' effect.

Prague is built on trams. I tried to get a couple of good shots in, but in the end I found it was easier to find one sitting still then moving around. This was taken on Wenceslas Square with the museum in the background at the end.

Prague has this really cool water leveling system, and this is where the water drops from one level down to the next.

This is the better panorama photo of Prague. I took it from Petrin Hill, and its original size was 22,000 pixels wide by 4,000 pixels high. Needless to say it took quite a while to edit, I think the file size was about 1.6Gb.
