Václavské náměstí - Wenceslas Square

Wenceslas Walk. Here you can see the sky dissolving the day's humidity:

One can really understand the stature of buildings in Wacky Square by lookin into a puddle

One would think this chichi, flamboyantly roseate building was something other than a container for H&M, but it's not

Puddles look different over cobblestones, yeah?

For all the hype, zombie bar was pretty dissapointing

Here's something interesting:
This an equestrian monument at the head of WS was sculpted by Josef Václav Myslbek in 1887–1924. 

The saint's image is accompanied by other Czech patron saints around its base: 
Saint Ludmila, Saint Agnes of Bohemia, Saint Prokop, and Saint Adalbert. 


The statue base, designed by architect Alois Dryák, includes the inscription: "Saint Wenceslas, duke of the Czech land, prince of ours, do not let perish us nor our descendants" 


This is David Černý's parody of the statue, which hangs in a Lucerna Palace gallery near the square:

Hehe, haha, hohoho


This is the National Museum at the east cusp of the square...

which is actually shaped more like a stretched-out rubber band:

This damn glitzy arena.
Hips swaying to and fro, 
this tippler's slow, slow dance 
embarrasses the tourista order.


(Event went uncaptured. Was too sacred. Sorry)



See ya next time in Žižkov for the conclusion of rain-walk!
