Prague impressions

These are just some photos from our visit to Prague almost two years ago. I haven’t had time to work on them previously, so they have been unpublished until now 😉

  

Time is gold... «Time is gold» 

Perhaps Prague’s most famous landmark: the Astronomical clock (Staroměstský orloj) at the public square (Staromestske Namesti).

 

Crowning glory «Crowning glory» 

Detail of the steeple of The Church of Our Lady before Tyn, resting place of famous astrologer, astronomer and alchemist, Tycho Brahe.

 

Heaven, land, and water... «Heaven, land, and water…» 

St. Vitus Cathedral (Katedrála sv. Víta), Charles Bridge (Karlův Most), and the Vltava river.

 

Vaults and arches «Vaults and arches» 

The Gothic vaulted ceiling of the chancel, built in 1344-85 [St. Vitus Cathedral, Prague, Czech Republic]

 

Hallelujah... «Hallelujah…»

The huge stained glass windows in the choir, built in 1946-48, featuring the Holy Trinity with saints and donors [St. Vitus Cathedral, Prague, Czech Republic]

 

In Memoriam... «In Memoriam…»

One of the small commemorative plaques that dot the sidewalks in the Jewish Quarter (Židovská čtvrť) of Prague, Czech Republic. They are often found in front of the houses where the victims once lived.

 

The room with candles «The room with candles»

Inside U Pavouka, a Medieval tavern in Prague, Czech Republic.

 

The lull before the storm... «The lull before the storm»

A quiet moment at the tavern, before the customers come flooding in.

  

Tredelnik «Tredelnik»

… the Czech version of a doughnut—only, it’s cylindrical instead of just being round with a hole in the center 😋

    1. Thanks 😊
      I must admit, life does go in slow motion when you’ve got family… especially when you have 2-3 year-old toddlers 😁
