Prague's "Tears of Stalin"

 

This is an odd one: no one I spoke to is really sure what's going on with the Hollywood-style "Tears of Stalin" sculpture, but apparently Prague just has a difficult time figuring out what should go up there.  There's been a massive pendulum sculpture up there as well, and next they're planning on tearing it down in favor of a forty-foot tall Michael Jackson sculpture.

I guess they really like Michael Jackson.

EDIT: Also, it's in English.  What's up with that?

Berlin Part IV

Took this as we wandered around between train stops. The dome is a museum. There are a million different rivers and lakes and general bodies of water in Berlin. Coming from SD, I still find water fascinating. I kind of wish we'd gone on some kind of river tour. Not that we would have been able to find one, but still. :)
