Fugly Buildings...

[plan_D]

I see, you were looking at the interior...

[Medvedya]

Exactly so.

[plan_D]

Just making sure. You might be one of those ones that just sit there watching TV and racking up bills with the mini bar...and building pillow forts. Yes, there are really people out there like Homer Simpson.

The Dancing Building sure is ugly, but it's also undeniably cool...

I'm not gonna try to bore you all with pictures of the thousands of ugly buildings in L.A., so rather I'll post up pictures of NON-fulgy buildings...

[Pisis]

OK, I'll bore you with "non-fugly" city then:






We'll begin our virtual sightseeing tour with a couple of overall panorama pics:


Prague Castle called Hradcany" [Hrudchunee] with the Lesser Town and the Charles Bridge


The same seen from the opposite river coast...


Hradcany along with the Lesser Town seen from the Charles Bridge




Gothic Charles Bridge with Baroque sculptures




The Lesser Town from Hradcany


Sv. Vit (St. Vithus) Cathedral of Hradcany


National Theater


Charles University (Universitas Carolina) is the fourth oldest university (Bologna, Sorbonna, Oxford, Prague)


The Prague Orloj [Orloi] - Clocwork - on the Old Town Square


Tynsky chram [Teenskee khraam] - The Thinus's Palace on the Old Town Square


Jewish Town - The Old New Synagogue - the oldest synagogue in Europe


Jewish Town - Old Jewish Cemetery with tombstones from the 14th and 15th century


Vaclavske namesti [Vaatslavske naamiestiee] - St. Venceslav's Square - the main boulevard of Prague. The guy on the horse is King Vaclav, the patron of the Czechlands. In the back building of the Prague Main Museum - in 1968 during the invasion of Soviets it was mistaken by the government settle and suffered heavily from the Russian tanks...


Prague Zizkov Tower


Historical Czech Tramway


The Dancing Building (not ugly I think... )

Praha - Interesting place to live in, isn't it? If you want to come, I surely recommend it. It will enrich both yourself and Czech economy.

PS: And I'm not talking about the nightlife here...

Show your place!

Here is some of my home citys great sites:

Hello SeaNorris!

Yo, I've been to Liverpool - it's quite a while - a very nice city though! What I liked the best was The Beatles Museum and The Merseyside Museum.

[Medvedya]

The Cavern Club isn't the original one though - that was demolished a long time ago.

[Pisis]

Yes, I know - but still very nice. Only pitty that we hadn't as much time as we needed so the Merseyside was just a quickie...

Here some pics from my England Tour Album (It was in 1996, I think ):

[Nonskimmer]

I've been to Liverpool too, and I liked it. The "fake" Cavern Club was still ok I thought.

[plan_D]

I've never had a quickie in Liverpool.

The only interesting thing about Launceston is the castle



Some sort of gate as well





And our hectic railway station.

[trackend]

Here's one for your collection, half a mile from my house.
believe it or not It's a grade 1 listed building designed by Jørn Utzon
the guy who designed the Sydney Opera House it don't matter from which angle you look its ****. The views from the restaurant across the Thames are the only redeeming feature

[cheddar cheese]

Pretty gross.

[plan_D]

It looks like a coast guards station, not a resataurant. Here's a picture I took of the IWM-North. I like the building but there's nothing in the actual museum, it was quite a large let down.
