The Lennon Wall

For one of my photo class assignments I had to take pictures of tourists on the Charles Bridge. So I did.
I walked from the East side of Prague across the river to the West side, and while I was there I went looking for the Lock Gate. I don't know what it's really called, but according to tradition when you find the love of your life, you're supposed to write your and their name on a lock, then connect it around one of the poles on the gate so you'll be together forever. It's very cute, but the Czech Republic has a very high divorce rate, so it's not quite working.

Those shiny things are padlocks.
On my way to the gate, I passed the Lennon Wall.

There were also people on Segways, which was funny.

Haha. Segways.

This was on the wall next to the Gate.

There's a new art installation behind Old Town Square/Next to school.
It's the word Revolution (Revolucion, because it's Czech), and it's all done using keys. According to my positively adorable photo professor, when the revolucion started and the communists were getting kicked out, the people stood in the streets and shook their keys at the communists. Sort of like groggers on Purim, but as a way to say "Haha, you are done here, get out!".
The giant R is the R from the daily paper from the Communist time.

I also saw a Cubist street light, which is tucked into a little corner of a street that nobody but me was on. It was tempting to do a Singin' in the Rain, but nobody was there, so I'll try to do it another day.
