i was randomly browsing through photos submitted of anything Czech because my boyfriend lives in Prague. i've got photos of him in front of the tower that has this wonderful clock but i've never seen it up close like this. This is so lovely, i'm going to fav' it.

And of course there's the dinging skeleton... I've been here for 17 years, and this old clock never got old.

If I'm reading this right, the picture was taken on the day after my birthday! I'm part Czech too! This is awesome. *favs*

i visited prague at the end of last year for my 18th, and fell in love with it. My favourite part was visiting the astronomical clock, because the square was old fashioned and had all thesse litle cobbled streets and alley ways full of old fashioned shops :). i love prague its so beautiful.
