I'm back from Prague since Wednesday, but i didn't even have time to log on to flickr...
We were at the dancing house a bit too late, hence the dark sky (But i made a nice blue hour panorama of the hradcany before this one - one can't have everything)
Info
The Dancing House (Czech: Tančící dům) is the nickname given to the
Nationale-Nederlanden building in downtown Prague, Czech Republic at
Rašínovo nábřeží 80, 120 00 Praha 2. It was designed by Croatian-Czech
architect Vlado Milunić in co-operation with Canadian architect Frank
Gehry on a vacant riverfront plot (where the previous building had
been destroyed during the Bombing of Prague in 1945). The building was
designed in 1992 and completed in 1996.
side view
The very non-traditional design was controversial at the time. Czech president Václav Havel, who lived for decades next to the site, had supported it, hoping that the building would become a center of cultural activity.
Originally named Fred and Ginger (after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers - the house resembles a pair of dancers) the house stands out among the Baroque, Gothic and Art Nouveau buildings for which Prague is famous. Others have nicknamed it "Drunk House".
On the roof is a French restaurant with magnificent views of the city. The building's other tenants include several multinational firms.

Technique/Processing
Developed from RAW twice, once with -2EV and once with 0EV and then i
replaced the brightest parts of the 0EV photo with those from the
underexposed one - some of them are still to bright, but it's better.
I also had to clone out some electrical wires and lens flares (pretty
bad ones, i should've used another lens, than the Sigma 12-24mm, with
it's huge front glass)
