Bud

In my garden-it's either a peony or a dahlia I think!

More Prague

I think this will be my final day of photos from Prague.
I like this one of Jack looking out over the river:



One thing that really makes Prague such a beautiful city is the amount of parks and trees. It really is a green leafy place, and you can always find a nice bit of park to rest in:

Night time in Prague

I really like this photo on the Charles Bridge of one of the portrait artists packing up for the night.

Prague: Doors

If you're into doors, then you would love Prague. I could have taken hundreds of photos of doors alone- they were all beautiful, big heavy ornate doors; humble weathered wooden doors, metal doors-doors of all shapes and sizes.

I love the door in the John Lennon wall:



and here are a selection of other beautiful doors:

Prague: Day 3

It was Easter and these trees decorated with balloons and streamers were dotted around the various squares. they were really very pretty.


Here are some pictures of some of the little details we found interesting around Prague, like the decorated eggs, the marionettes, and the variety of signs around the city.

Prague: day 2

I really like the today's photo-Prague has beautiful street lamps like this one in the Kampa area :


Just around the corner is The John Lennon Wall. After John Lennon died in 1980 he became a symbol of peace and democracy amonst the youth of Prague, who painted images of him, his songs, peace signs etc. These were always whitewashed over by the authorities, -remember this was still when Czechoslavakia was a communist dictatorship-but the graffitti would reappear. Today it looked like a giant work of art-colourful and symbolic, and Emily and I loved it!

And some more sights-lovely quaint streets, ornate architecture and wonderful views across the spires and domes of the skyline:
