What a Beautiful City!

I took lots of pictures today, but they don't come close to depicting just how beautiful this city is.

Many were taken on the tour bus and you can see the glare of the window.  Others were taken as we walked around the Prague Castle.

Enjoy!

Very gothic looking building

I loved how bright and cheerful the landscape was,
even on an overcast day.

Frank Gehry Building depicting Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.
You can't see him from this angle.
The flared bottom represents the flare of her dress.

Fred Astaire is portrayed on the right, with a top hat.

Again, the colors are wonderful.

The Charles Bridge

A breathtaking palace in the Prague Castle complex.
The walls are textured, lending a 3-D effect.

Inside the Castle complex

The backside of the castle.

The front of Prague Castle.
There are no words to describe how magnificent this structure is.

Another view of the first picture - cool gothic building

This firewood is being sold in the middle of town square.

Street view

A picturesque hôtel

This view is overlooking the city.
You can't tell, but it was a "wow" view.

Me, just inside the castle gates.

This doorway to the castle is called "the golden gate."

This scene is haunting.
It is a memorial to the victims of communism.
There is a plaque that reads:
"205486 convicted, 248 executed, 4500 died in prison,
327 annihilated at the border, 170938 emigrated". 
It begins with a whole man, with each progressive man loosing more and more of himself,
until the only thing left is a foot.
It is a sobering site.
