Prague in the Morning

One of the many gates into Old Town : Prague, CZ

If you want to see Prague before the crowds become overwhelming, you have to get up before the birds. We were up at 5:00 and out the door by 6:00 to catch a few pictures from the Charles Bridge and around Old Town.

In about three hours, this square will be packed with people 

and walking through it will be like a fish swimming 

upstream to spawn : Staré Město : Prague, CZ

Jan Hus, patron saint of Prague : Prague, CZ

 One or two other early risers and a handful of pigeons enjoy the 

early morning light from the Charles Bridge : Prague, CZ

2 Things Challenge: Prize / Door

Morning light makes the yellow wall surrounding the door the prize : Divonne, FR

This week's 2 Things Challenge is Prize / Door. I snapped this photo in Divonne, France, a few Sundays ago. I liked the door, but the real prize was the early morning sunlight bringing out the golden color on the walls.

Want to join in the fun? Visit 2 Things Challenge. Next week's two words are: Ugly / Pretty.

Baseler Rathaus doch wieder...

Basler Rathaus Tower : Basel, CH

This weekend, my sister and I went to Basel to visit my friends, Scott and Diana. I know I've posted photos of this building before, but it is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful municipal buildings in Europe. Here, once again, is the Baseler Rathaus. To see more photos from this weekend, go here.

Dating back to the 16th century, these frescoes are among the finest features of this beautiful building : Basel, CH
