Prague: memory of Bohemia (Photos)

The astronomical clock

As a 80,PragueMy life is a symbol can not be ignored. Is the "mole", is Kafka, is the "Prague square", they pierce my growing memory. This is a mysterious and a draw parallels to the country, it is the color style growth out of a piece of Bohemia in the soil.

Nitzsch said: "when I think of a word to express the music, I foundVienna; and when I think of a word to express the mystery, I just thought of Prague." AsCzechThe capital of Prague, covering the period since thirteenth Century building, literary youth can find endless sympathy here.

As an ordinary youth I, to Prague is Jolin in the "Prague square" sing "empty square, the fountain of hope". So the train, I directly map, old wide field to downtown Prague. This was during the sundowners, around the square open-air coffee shadow spread a little record. The soft sunset as the opposite the cathedral building, let the crowd through a church, immovable, the sun a little from the bright yellow painted faint yellow, then to dark red, until the lights, the wall becomes bright yellow, and dark blue backgrounds such as wall hanging in the square end.

And I, is a process of the observer. A cup of Czech named Pivo local beer, points the last name Trdlo donuts, deserve to go up again a Czech sausage, just sit on the opposite side, the cathedral witnessed people are hurrying to and fro., sunset, in front of the color changes, although there is no "the group against the setting sun dove", the picture is still "beautiful I can't see".

So sit more than 4 hours, only to stand up for the 4 time, not to rest, but to see the whole point timekeeping astronomical clock. On the whole, the city hall below the astronomical clock window will open, Jesus and the 12 disciples in order to appear. Each to come to the point, the astronomical clock will be gathered waiting time of the crowd, looking at the clock in succession, waiting for the sacred moment. The astronomical clock was built in fifteenth Century, the clock is on both sides of the symbolic sculpture. On the left are death and desire, vanity and greed right.

Even in the streets around, also is an American accentTravelingCollective memory, do not know their, have a similar "Prague square" song?

The very next day early in the morning, I went straight to the Charlie bridge and Prague castle. If in the square, sitting quietly in order to meet a memory, in the Prague Castle go ballistic is because of the old city. Prague was the center of European civilization. Even today, even if the visibility is already in PragueNew York,London,ParisAnd oblivion in metropolis, it represents the Bohemian culture and customs still ruled the world outlook and life outlook of fashion.

So, to understand the profound meaning of representative of the old, must pass through the Charlie bridge, must be on board the Prague castle, only when overlooking the Vltava River and the city of Prague, the city real soul will flash.

Charlie bridge was built in 1357, 30 honour the statue of a saint one of Europe's most ancient most long bridge, Czech is the 17 to master the Baroque art works in eighteenth Century, so the Charlie bridge, also known as "European Outdoor Baroque statues art museum". The bridge street artists to perform, to attract customers; bridge under free market brings together local snacks, drinks and all kinds of souvenirs.

Kafka's former residence

The Charlie bridge, has been to climb the mountain, Prague castle was built in ninth Century, appeared in the Vltava River left mountain. Like most large castle, Prague Castle solemn, exudes a kind of let person shall not look up the deterrent force. But if you have to judge Prague Castle be beneath the human character, you are wrong. Because in a corner of the castle, a lane, alley lived a man, he is a spiritual sustenance to the castle in Prague, to find the soul and the meaning of life. The alley was named "Golden Lane", the man, named Kafka.
