Standing next to a statue of a goose, this samurai overlooks the Cabbage Market (Zelný trh) in the center of Brno. The samurai resides high above the market on the rooftop of the Goose on a String Theatre. The statue is a photographer’s delight, as it’s slightly hidden from other tourist attractions.
