Photographer’s Note
I'm going to post here more photographs from the Olsanske cemetery (hrbitov)in Prague.
It is estimated that over a million people are buried here although the actual number of graves is far less. It was originally created for the victims of the 1680 plague and, whilst many well-known people are laid to rest here, perhaps the most famous is Jan Palach the young Czech student who set himself alight in protest at the Soviet occupation in 1969.

Another one of the great statue that you show us, the color of this one is peculiar and it inspires strength.
