Night view of Frank Gehry Dancing House with light trails of traffic on the Vltava riverbank
This evocative night photograph captures Prague Dancing House in all its spectacular glory. The deconstructivist building, designed by Vlado Milunic and Frank Gehry, shines in the darkness with its illuminated sinuous forms. The undulating glass tower gleams like a diamond while the white concrete structure creates an elegant contrast. At the top, Gehry's "Medusa" metal sculpture crowns the building. The light trails of cars passing on the Vltava riverbank add dynamism to the composition through a long photographic exposure. The surrounding historic buildings, with their illuminated facades, create a dialogue between traditional and contemporary architecture. This view has become one of modern Prague icons, symbol of the city artistic renaissance after the Velvet Revolution.
