Trdelnik shop to the left and Cannabis shop to the right. Tradition vs. newly legalized
When walking in Old Town, especially on the old narrow roads leading to or from Charles Bridge, you can’t help but see a lot of the traditional shops that sell traditional sweets or the traditional old Bohemian sweet pastries.
I’ve walked on these roads many times since 2017 but during my last visit begin of October, I couldn’t help but realize the number of Cannabis shops that suddenly popped up, on these old narrow roads where many tourists are strolling.
Looking at it from a cultural perspective, this is like a contrast between traditional versus newly legalized stuff. From an artistic perspective, I like the contrast between the cool colors of green and the warm colors of amber and sienna.
One thing is certain and is never going to change, the desire to enjoy the traditional old Bohemian sweet pastries is never going to get old and cold, it’s going to always keep the pastries’ lovers happy and warm.
