Herons
This statue, called Herons (Volavky) by Jana Moravcová, is one of the few still left in Prague since normalization times in end of 60's and 70's, when communists came up with so called 4th percent rule - visual artists was forced to donate 4 % of their art for beautification of cities they lived in. Most of them prefer to choose themes which have no political association whatsoever so they could not be persecuted for how it look like, which makes it quite timeless today - as far as cities takes care of them.
