Here's anothoer of those fancy fronts on buildings around Prague. This is a gift shop on the first floor, and is right across from a nice art museum that had a nice Alphonse Mucha show up (maybe it's permanent, given Mucha's local connections) along with one devoted to Salvador Dali.
This was some kind of platform or stage set up in the Old Town Square (note the surrounding vendor stalls). It must have had something to do with Easter, but we weren't around long enough to find outI did have a pretty good sausage from one of the stands just off to the left.
That afternoon, we went on a boat tour down the Vltava, and these next few shots were taken from the boat. Since the river cuts right through the heart of the city's old section, there were interesting views like that seen above.
We saw a number of swans and ducks, which made me wonder if the Ugly Duckling story had its origins in the area.
These pastel colored buildings are actually behind, not on, the bridge. Wouldn't it be cool to live in an apartment building that looked like that?
Look at the variety of roof styles in this shot. That's part of what makes it so exciting to explore new places, seeing the variety of architectural styles representing not just different cultures, but different eras as well. In Prague's case, that means going back over a thousand years in some cases.
