It is commonly referred to as the &quot;Czech national river&quot;. <br /> <br /> Both the Czech name Vltava and the German name Moldau are believed to originate from the old Germanic words *wilt ahwa 'wild water' (compare Latin aqua).<br /> <br /> FACTS &amp; FIGURES<br /> Source: Teplá Vltava (elevation +1174 m<br /> Mouth: Elbe (elevation +156 m)<br /> Length: 431.3 km<br /> Basin size: 28,089.9 km2<br /> Discharge: average 149.9 m3/s<br /> <br /> [ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vltava" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Wikipedia - <b>Vltava</b></a> ]</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/alexandermagedler/">AlexM.</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/alexandermagedler/55083567369/" title="20251028-1241461"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55083567369_c335238bde_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="20251028-1241461" /></a></p> <p>Czech Republic / Prague / 28.10.2025 / Victoria /<br /> <br /> © Alexander Magedler</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/130540948@N02/">greslephotography</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/130540948@N02/55082056262/" title="Proudy"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55082056262_0f720e52a0_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Proudy" /></a></p> <p>'Proudy'<br /> -----------<br /> 2A Cihelná, Prague, CZ<br /> 14-03-2023<br /> -----------<br /> <a href="http://www.GreslePhotography.com" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.GreslePhotography.com</a><br /> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/GreslePhotography/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.facebook.com/GreslePhotography/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.instagram.com/greslephotography/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.instagram.com/greslephotography/</a><br /> ------------<br /> #Proudy #statues #DavidCerny #art #peeingstatues #Prague #Czechia #Tsjechië ##GreslePhotography #nikon #nikonphotography #travelphotography #protectedbyPixsy<br /> <br /> 'Proudy'<br /> <br /> This automated sculpture of two men peeing will spell out text messages with their micturition.<br /> <br /> Artist David Cerny's controversial sculpture, Proudy, consists of two bronze men who robotically waggle their metal junk around to spell out text messages with their pee.<br /> <br /> Installed in 2004 in a quaint square outside Prague's Franz Kafka Museum, the statue immediately made waves, so to speak.

Situated on the Vltava river (Moldau), Prague is home to about 1.4 million people. <br /> Prague is a political, cultural, and economic hub of Central Europe, with a rich history and Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture. It was the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia and residence of several Holy Roman Emperors, most notably Charles IV (r. 1346–1378) and Rudolf II (r. 1575–1611). It was an important city to the Habsburg monarchy and Austria-Hungary. The city played major roles in the Bohemian and the Protestant Reformations, the Thirty Years' War and in 20th-century history as the capital of Czechoslovakia between the World Wars and the post-war Communist era. <br /> Population: 1,384,700 (2024)<br /> Elevation: 172 - 399 meters<br /> Area: 496.21 km2<br /> [ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Wikipedia - <b>Prague</b></a> ]</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/59482307@N06/">drzoidbergh</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/59482307@N06/55079048537/" title="Bridge to the Castle"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55079048537_606fcc26d9_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="Bridge to the Castle" /></a></p> <p>Nighttime view of Pražský hrad / Prague Castle from Mánesův most / Mánes Bridge</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/fs999/">fs999</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/fs999/55080053929/" title="Night Place"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55080053929_24e3600501_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Night Place" /></a></p> <p>PENTAX K-1 • FF Mode • 1600 ISO • Pentax HD DA* 11-18 mm F2.8 ED DC AW<br /> <br /> Praha • Česko</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/204131918@N03/">Nochi Magadavo</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/204131918@N03/55078820803/" title="Prague 2026"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55078820803_3235dc17bf_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="Prague 2026" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/atjay/">barclayjb</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/atjay/55078792683/" title="Regensburg-368"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55078792683_bae9d510aa_m.jpg" width="240" height="163" alt="Regensburg-368" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/atjay/">barclayjb</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/atjay/55077690517/" title="DSCF4473"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55077690517_72465a432f_m.jpg" width="240" height="141" alt="DSCF4473" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/atjay/">barclayjb</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/atjay/55077690327/" title="Regensburg-518"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55077690327_9f88ab8e62_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="Regensburg-518" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/meteorry/">Meteorry</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/meteorry/55078569786/" title="Tančící dům - Praha (Czech Republic)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55078569786_b9123b4f42_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Tančící dům - Praha (Czech Republic)" /></a></p> <p><b>Tančící dům</b> 17/02/2025 15h55<br /> Prague is an old city, but this modern building from the 1990s has also become an icon, a landmark that has even been made into refrigerator magnets. <br /> <br /> <u>Dancing House</u><br /> The Dancing House (Czech: Tančící dům), or Ginger and Fred, is the nickname given to the Nationale-Nederlanden building on the Rašínovo nábřeží (Rašín Embankment) in Prague, Czech Republic. It was designed by the Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunić in cooperation with Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry on a vacant riverfront plot. The building was designed in 1992. The construction, carried out by BESIX, was completed four years later in 1996. The style is called Deconstructivism. <br /> <br /> Gehry originally called the house Ginger and Fred (after the dancers Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire – the house resembles a pair of dancers), but the nickname Ginger &amp; Fred is now mainly used for the restaurant located on the seventh floor of the Dancing House Hotel. Gehry himself later discarded his own idea, as he was &quot;afraid to import American Hollywood kitsch to Prague&quot;. <br /> <br /> The Dancing House has been called inappropriate in the classical city of Prague. The deconstructivist design is controversial because the house disrupts the Baroque, Gothic, and Art Nouveau buildings for which Prague is famous. The style, shape, heavy asymmetry, and material are considered out of place by some critics and commentators.<br /> [ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_House" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Wikipedia - <b>Dancing House</b></a> ]</p>
