I didn't touch it either. There was a statue in the Castle of a chap with
quite a large 'gentleman' made of bronze, which was very worn and shiny, but
I didn't touch that either. And there's a great statue in front of the Kafka
Museum of two chaps peeing at each other.

The Kafka Concierge one is a stunner Bob. I also like the Lenin shadow one.

When we went to Prague, everyone in our party kept on at me to take a
group shot on that bridge over the river near where it has the thing
you're supposed to touch to make sure you go back. I refused saying
"it's just a bloody bridge". Strangely, we've never been back to
Prague. Spooky or what?

Some really nice 'snaps' there.

FWIW - I did notice some dust on sensor/lens in some of them - as an

I spent the weekend in Prague. It's the first time I've been there, and 
it's
a lovely place, very impressive and very nice people. We went to the 
Museum

of Communism and the Kafka Museum, among other things.

Here are some snaps:

<http://www.web-options.com/Prague/>

Hope you enjoy. It was the first time I've ever seen Christine's Darrel 
not

sleeping in a sea of books:
<http://www.web-options.com/Prague/content/L1000132_large.html>

These are about the only pictures I've taken this year. When I imported 
them

it also dragged in a few other, which I took in 2011. I knew I hadn't done
many this year - I was surprised I'd done none.

I installed LR4 today to process them, and am quite impressed by it, as
little as I've used it so far.

I agree with Frank.  I really enjoyed the gallery and the last photo is a 
jaw-dropper.

A number of nice pics here. I like the composition of the sewer cover. The 
reading boy among the busts is a great find. And I love the colors in Darrel's 
pic. Sublime.
