I have just returned from an extremely enjoyable short break in Prague. As with any holiday there were a few minor blips of which possibly the most irritating was the huge number of tourists taking selfies (with or without sticks). There's plenty to see in Prague and it's quite reasonable that people will wish to photograph these sites as a reminder of their holiday. However, is it really necessary that they stick their own mugs if front of everyone else simply because they adhere to the cult of self? And when they get home what will they have? Here's a picture of me obliterating the view of the Charles Bridge. And in this one you can just make out the Hrad behind my grimace. Oh, and look here's the Spanish Syangogue peaking over my left shoulder. Really!
So, selfie takers, please remember that there are other people in this world who might wish to take photographs of historic sites without your ugly features gurning away in front of them. It is the site that is of interest - not you!!
