View from the Top of the Rock

The Empire State Building and the new World Trade Center, as seen
from the top of Rockefeller Center : New York, NY

We went to the top of Rockefeller Center and this was the view. Notice just to the right of the Empire State Building the rising tower of the new World Trade Center. I believe it's more than halfway to its full height of 1,776 feet.

Rooftop View

View of the main square in Old Town from the
rooftop of the Hotel Prince : Prague, CZ

On Sunday, we decided to have lunch at the rooftop restaurant on top of the Hotel Prince in Old Town. Note to anyone planning to visit Prague: This is a great place to go for drinks or ice cream with friends and to get off your feet for a bit and enjoy an alternate view of Old Town and the surrounding area, but the menu isn't worth the paper it's printed on, so skip it for a meal.

Tourists in the Clock Tower : Prague, CZ

One of the places to enjoy a good view of Prague is from the Clock Tower in Old Town. At various times throughout the day, a trumpeter dressed in Medieval costume comes to the top of the tower and blows his horn.

St Nicholas Church Tower : Prague, CZ

Over the rooftops, you can see the domes of St Nicholas Church. This style of dome is common throughout the Czech Republic and Austria and is usually featured on a Baroque church.

View of the house Kafka lived in for a while. 

The feature to see on this building is the sgraffito. 

Also, cool pattern on the sidewalk! : Prague, CZ
