Contemporary Prague

Today we have spent a second day in Prague and what a beautiful city it is.

We were lucky with the weather because thunder storms were forecast and after Fridays storm and flash floods on the way to Dresden we weren't sure what to expect but in fact it has been hot and sunny just about the whole time.

We have spent most of the visit in the old town, the Jewish quarter, the castle and gardens and the old architecture is stunning. We've walked about 9 miles in all and we had to take time out in the shade a few times but we've had a lot of fun.

I have mostly photographed old architecture and a few people but while the old town really is the star attraction there is some really nice contemporary architecture and so I wanted to share a couple of examples.

The first pictures show the Dimension Data Trask building next to our hotel. I really like this building and in the middle of the first image there is a reflection of our hotel where we are staying on the 8th floor.

The third image shows the interior of one of the metro stations, I think it may have been inspired by Daleks but it could also have been the inspiration for Gringotts in Harry Potter, at least so I'm told...

From here we are heading off to Vienna for a couple of days s
