Le Cauchemar du Pont (Weekend Street/Reflections # 226)

 Prague, Czech Republic

The man trudged along the slick cobblestone bridge, the sound of footsteps trailed him through the damp night, always close yet never overtaking. He didn’t dare turn. The diamond-shaped sign felt like a cryptic warning mocking his every step. The bridge seemed to stretch endlessly, its railing a cage, the river below whispering accusations he couldn’t decipher. Suddenly, a car's headlights pierced the mist. It was like a splash of cold water on his face, reminding him he was late for the meeting—always late, though he could never recall who summoned him or why.

If you're like me and don't mind cold weather, winter is a great time to travel. It's typically less expensive and less crowded.

Another picture of a person walking on a bridge. This one is a bit more mysterious. It was a cold winter night and it had just started to snow.

Lots of Reflections (Weekend Reflections # 433)

Prague, Czech Republic

This was a quick snap on the fly. I just focused on the center of the kettle and didn't realize that there were even more reflections in this shot.

Happy Reflecting

Hemingway Bar Reflected (Weekend Reflections # 421)

Prague, Czech Republic

I took this shot in 2013 before having dinner across the street.
I love the colorful old buildings in Prague. I also love the Czech beer, which makes it hard to stop after just one, but with all indulgences I try to be good.  :-)

Happy Reflecting !

Kick the Can (Weekend Reflections # 250)

Prague, Czech Republic

Hey look, I'm on TV!  Nope, it's just my reflection in a trash can in a window display. Which is even better for me. :-)

Have a great Weekend!

A Ceiling Lamp Reflected in a Table (Weekend Reflections # 241)

Prague Czech Republic                                  Café Louvre

As promised, here is one of the light fixtures from last week's Weekend Reflection photo. This time it's reflected in a table.  Unfortunately my Café Louvre menu isn't in focus but at least the reflected lamp is.

Thanks for contributing to Weekend Reflections!
Happy Mother's Day Weekend!!!

Café Louvre (Weekend Reflections # 240)

Prague, Czech Republic                      Café Louvre

Some of you might remember seeing this photo on my other blog last year.


The reflected light fixtures seem to go on forever. Next week I'll post a picture of one of these light fixtures reflected in a table.

"You have just entered the foyer of Café Louvre. This Café, bearing the name of the world’s famous gallery, has been standing here for over a century, since 1902. Among its guests were Karel Capek, Franz Kafka as well as Albert Einstein during his professorship in Prague. The Café’s life was interrupted by force in 1948 by the communist coup when all café fixtures were thrown out of the windows into Narodni Avenue. The cultural melting pot was revived in the place after 1992 when the devastated premises underwent a complete reconstruction." 

Sorry for not commenting very much lately but I'm still very busy, probably until mid-June. The condo needs more work than I expected. 

Have a great weekend!

Home Again

As you can see I was standing in the shade from all of the wonderful old buildings in Prague's Old Town. The famous Tyn Church is in the center and our hotel was about 20 meters to the right of it.



This is where we stayed it was very nice inside and out

This photo was taken in front of the hotel facing the spot where I took the top photo.

I would like to welcome the new followers and thank the participants of Weekend Reflections. It looks like it went well while I was away. I took a few reflection photos in Europe that I look forward to posting.

The trip was wonderful but it's nice to be home. We saw so many interesting things and we ate some really great food. The weather ranged from mild to cold and we got a mix of clear skies, some rain and even a little snow.

We went to Prague first after changing planes in Munich.

After Prague we flew back to Munich and took a train to Salzburg.

After Salzburg we took the train back to Munich where we stayed for the final week of the trip.

Here is a short summary of Prague which will be followed by summaries of Salzburg and Munich.

1)Prague was fun but it was way too crowded and had too many tourist shops (sort of a Disneyland feel to it.) The buildings,bridges and views were really beautiful and our room was comfortable and came with a nice breakfast. The Christmas Market at Old Town square was great, it opened the day after we arrived.

Notable meals were goulash with bread like dumplings and kielbasa with mustard on a roll.

I'll be posting more pictures from this trip on my Something Sighted blog.
