# The TV tower in Prague.
Great city.

# And the points go to Captain Howdy there.
"Mother", I believe they call it.

# The tower's a throwback to the old Communist days.
It dwarfs everything else in the city, and a while ago it was decided that it needed something to make it less oppressive, so they got an artist to attach giant steel babies to it.
It's a strangely beautiful thing. If you ever go to Prague you really can't miss it, even if you try.

# I love a nice bit of Communist-era architecture.
Mind you, that's probably cos I didn't have to live under the regime, so the architecture doesn't have quite such an association for me.

# Some of the locals still hate it for what it symbolised, but most of the younger generation are cool with it.

# Aye,
I went up the tower the last time I was there.

# The term "stunning views" was invented for just such an endeavour.

# Unfortunately,
it was a dull and drizzly day when I went, so probably didn't see the view at its best...it was still an impressive panorama of the city and surrounding area, though.
