A Walk by the River: Prague


One of the pleasures of visiting a foreign city is merely wandering aimlessly around. These pictures were taken the Castle side of the Charles Bridge. 


We did not take a boat trip despite the spiffy uniform of the crew member. We did not attach a lock to the fence by the river.


We did observe the creepers turning fall-like


and the poor statue who had lost half her face


and the statue of calm and tranquillity.


The Charles Bridge in the distance.


A  fine day for walking


seeing reflections of willow branches rather Corot-like


and the closed up picnic umbrellas.


More of the same 


and more reflections.


We are now back in New York...

  2. A lovely day for walking as you say - and also, by the look of your photographs, a lovely day for taking them. It is a city I would love to visit and you have made me wish to go even more.

    Love the images but the very first one is nothing short of brilliant, it speaks!

  5. Elizabeth, there is something about walks along a riverside, or an oceanside, that seems to call to my soul. Seems as if it calls to others' souls, too.

    The water, the reflections, the shoreline's curves, and a certain pace that walking gives us...it all adds to what our human brains can absorb and enjoy.

    It's grand to learn that such walks can be done on the beautiful riverside of Prague. I imagine that lots of writers and artists have been inspired by these sights over the centuries.

    If I'd seen this post before seeing you in person this afternoon, I'd definitely have had much to tell you. Prague is very intriguing.

  9. Thank you, Elizabeth, I thoroughly enjoyed following your meanderings about Prague! As always, I love your way of captured the essence of a place, with images that are far from the "always same" tourist mode.
    Hugs,
