A year ago, I went to Prague with nothing more than my knocked-up Konica Pop, a stuffed backpack a la EasyJet and a Spotify playlist for background music.

Here's what I saw.

A stunning example of Art Nouveau in Prague is on minty green Hlahol. One of my favourite buildings.

The light was so stunning, I think I stayed here for a while.

A face on an apartment building. Two men hover on either side of the door. This is a common sight in Prague.

The weather is changeable on the streets of Prague in June.

This photo was a bit of a risk, given the low light. My camera's automatic makeup leave little room for capturing changeable weather or low light situations.

What's nice is that you run into live music often in this city.

I do miss the Czech Republic. I will certainly be back.

Your turn.
