File:Charles Bridge during a pink sunrise in Prague.jpg

I had heard that the sunrises from this bridge were a must-do for photographers. Since it was summer, I had to get here at 4 AM to catch dawn. It was one of those rare supurple sunrises that you only see on someone else's Flickr stream, never yours. Maybe something about the way the clouds were or the haze playing with the light or the Chilean volcano. I don't know, I'm an amateur not a meteorologist.

It was unfortunately the same time at which hundreds of drunk people had finished their partying and were heading home, their first instinct being to walk over Charles Bridge, shouting at the world, each other, and I think one person was shouting at a statue. Sort of marred the potentially peaceful experience.
