About dis picture
Di story behind di frame
From dis street, di Old Town Hall tower seems to wait at di end of di route. Di surrounding buildings narrow di see toward it, while di crowd below moves in di same direction, gradually disappearing into di busier streets of Prague’s Old Town. Wetin interested me bin dey how naturally di landmark belongs to dis everyday movement. Di tower dey unmistakable, rising far above di roofs, but di street beneath it dey full of smaller details: shop signs, old lamps, windows, people dem coming and going. Nothing don dey cleared away to give di monument its space. Dat dey often how historic Prague reveals itself. A landmark no always begin wit a square or an open see. Sometimes it grows slowly between di façades as you walk toward it. Here, di Old Town Hall dey both di destination ahead and part of di ordinary street leading there.

Di tower dey also home to di Prague Astronomical Clock, known as di Orloj, whose oldest parts date to 1410. Although di familiar see opens from Old Town Square, di surrounding network of historic streets offers a different experience of di landmark. Approaching through dese narrower routes, di tower fit remain visible above di rooftops long before di square itself comes into see.
