Truth and love

Some sights from the memorial set up for Vaclav Havel at Wenceslas Square. People began coming on Sunday evening and they continued to come in droves to place signs, light candles and pay their respects.



The latest update: A film producer has suggested naming Prague's airport, which is currently named after the neighborhood it's in, after Havel. Meanwhile, over at the Kremlin, Russia has (as of this writing, anyway) yet to comment on Havel's death, although The Motherland rushed to release a formal statement of sorrow regarding Kim Jong-Il before the first fake tears could hit the pavement at Kim Il-Sung Square. Sore losers.

Note the candle given by someone from Toronto.
This is one of Havel's most famous quotes:
"Truth and love must prevail over lies and hatred."
