The golden Lane (looks more like an alley). In house Nr. 22 Franz Kafka lived for a short period (1916/1917) and also wrote parts of his works.

Frans Kafka was a Czech-born German-speaking writer who only became famous posthumously with his novels expressing the alienation of 20th century man, more precisely dehumanization, bureaucratic labyrinths, and totalitarian society . Kafkaesque characters are trademarks of his writing. His health issues added other issues like fear of physical and mental collapse in his stories.
Kafka admitted in Letter to His Father (1919) : “My writing was all about you; all I did there, after all, was to bemoan what I could not bemoan upon your breast. It was an intentionally long-drawn-out leave-taking from you.”

Prague (pronounced /ˈprɑːɡ/; Czech: Praha (Czech pronunciation: [ˈpraɦa], see also other names) is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. Its official name is Hlavní město Praha, meaning Prague, the Capital City.

Situated on the River Vltava in central Bohemia, Prague has been the political, cultural, and economic centre of the Czech state for more than 1100 years. The city proper is home to more than 1.2 million people, while its metropolitan area is estimated to have a population of over 1.9 million.

Since 1992, the extensive historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Nicknames for Prague have included “the mother of cities” (Praga mater urbium, or “Praha matka měst” in Czech), “city of a hundred spires” and “the golden city”.

Composed out of one image which I duplicated 6 times. Each duplicate I under/over exposed 1, 2 or 3 stops. Finally I combined the 7 images in Photomatix Pro to a HDR in order to get more details.
