Prague

These are my favourite shots of Prague.

Just spent the weekend in Prague. We just walked around and took in the city. Enjoyed lots of good food, architecture, landscape and paving!

Paving in crazy pattern, circling around corners, angels out from buildings and straight lines.

Most of the streets, pavements and squares in Prague are cut stone setts in different colours, sizes and patterns. Some of it is very beautiful and you can not even start to image how long it must have taken for all of the cut stone setts to be laid.

Close up of some of the paving. I think most of it is quite old and you can see how well it has aged and that the quality is very good.

The paving goes very well with the old architecture of Prague. There are mostly old buildings, which are rendered, this explains how the buildings are in such good conditions. They are easier to look after than if they would have the brick work exposed.

One of the few modern buildings in Prague is the Theatre. It fits in very successfully with the surrounding buildings and I like it the simplicity of the building. The Charles bridge is a wonderful bridge. The walk over the bridge at night is quite special. It gives out such a atmosphere and sense of history.

When looking at the architecture around Prague you can't help to wonder what people will say about architecture from today in 100 years time?

The landscape architecture around Prague mostly consist of squares and streets. The Wenceslas Square is the most famous, where all the seating is on one end of the square leaving the entire square as one open space. This quite interesting and it was the one place in Prague where my boyfriend's little niece absolutely loved to run around.

Pertin Hill is a great open space just outside the town centre. The hills create a great view to look on and a great view to look out from.

Finishing with a bit of cliche. Prague will always be a special place for me, not just because it is a beautiful city, but more because my boyfriend proposed here!

Just behind the main square we walked past this empty street. It was amazing to see the empty street surrounded by all the other busy streets. I love this image of Prague.
