This is the penultimate posting in this particular series, since 50 seems a good number to end on, and frankly I'm down to the last few hours worth of pictures from our trip way back in March. These are still from the boat trip on our last day in Prague. The prominent building on the right in the above shot is the Opera House, if memory serves.
In this picture, I like how you can see the old city wall snaking up the hill on the left. I didn't get any closer than this, but I wonder if it has been grafitti'd or otherwise modernized; or if it is retained in some pristine state from when it was first constructed.
You get a sense of the Muslim influence on architecture even this far north. There was a time when a big chunk of Eastern Europe was under assault, if not entirely under the control of the Ottomans.
I can't recall what this building housed, but that is one interesting dome on top. This was also near where we re-docked, so in our final installment tomorrow, we'll be back on dry (relatively speaking) land.
