It was raining off and on. As we entered the city I saw this bronze figure of Winged Victory (Nike, the goddess of victory) ahead of our bus. I managed get off a shot of it, albeit from not the best angle. Still, I liked the photo enough to post it here.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/199881521@N06/">A*EDP</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/199881521@N06/55084882568/" title="Cloned (Prague 2/2026)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55084882568_04f541d831_m.jpg" width="240" height="159" alt="Cloned (Prague 2/2026)" /></a></p> <p></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/class_58050_toton_traction_depot/">58 023 &#039;Peterborough Depot&#039;</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/class_58050_toton_traction_depot/55084480656/" title="Boxed Ends"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55084480656_3f70baf298_m.jpg" width="108" height="240" alt="Boxed Ends" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/olegsveramejs/">crautcher</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/olegsveramejs/55084451498/" title="Prague Stands Together (4)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55084451498_9d77466d8b_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Prague Stands Together (4)" /></a></p> <p>In early 2026, tens of thousands of people gathered in the centre of Prague after the Czech President publicly stated he was being politically pressured and “blackmailed” over the appointment of a controversial minister.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/olegsveramejs/">crautcher</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/olegsveramejs/55084249076/" title="Prague Stands Together (1)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55084249076_6293175e8d_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Prague Stands Together (1)" /></a></p> <p>In early 2026, tens of thousands of people gathered in the centre of Prague after the Czech President publicly stated he was being politically pressured and “blackmailed” over the appointment of a controversial minister.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/olegsveramejs/">crautcher</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/olegsveramejs/55083352827/" title="Prague Stands Together (2)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55083352827_9e920ed0c1_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Prague Stands Together (2)" /></a></p> <p>In early 2026, tens of thousands of people gathered in the centre of Prague after the Czech President publicly stated he was being politically pressured and “blackmailed” over the appointment of a controversial minister.</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/55083635303/" title="Vltava - Praha (Czech Republik)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55083635303_ab1d24b70f_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Vltava - Praha (Czech Republik)" /></a></p> <p><b>Vltava</b> 17/02/2025 16h09<br /> The river Vltava as seen from the Janáčkovo nábřeží (quay).

It runs southeast along the Bohemian Forest and then north across Bohemia, through Český Krumlov, České Budějovice, and Prague. 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. The figures are made of rippling, serrated bronze, looking as though they were crafted from stacked slices of metal, or like they were crudely 3D printed. This design choice works to integrate the swiveling crotch sections of the two men. Each of the figures is holding their bronze penis and peeing in a never-ending stream, swirling it around in a seemingly random, if surprisingly fluid (pun intended), pattern.

And that's not all.<br /> <br /> In fact anyone in the world can interrupt their constant quotes by sending their own message via text message to a number (+420 724 370 770) on a plaque near the statue. The statues will interrupt their programmed movement and spell out the words sent to them.<br /> <br /> While it might be hard to look away from the swaying metal genitals, the basin the figures relieve themselves into is itself worth noting, as it is shaped like a map of Czechia. These guys aren't just peeing into a fountain, but onto the country itself. Provocation achieved.<br /> <br /> © COPYRIGHT The work contained in my gallery is copyrighted.

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>
