The River Vitava

Prague;
One has to pace oneself when aged but not infirm when travelling! We kept within the boat’s confines until lunch when we set off up a narrow road in an effort to find shops. John needed another jacket.
We realised that we had to watch where we walked as dog poo was everywhere! A shame. The cobbled streets made it difficult to get rid of.
Three good things:
1. We found a shop and John bought a good jacket for about 1/4 price than his other lost one.
2. Got this photo of the swans - ok but want to get one of them flying past.
3. The local Indian motorcycle riders met with us and we chatted for a number of hours before two of them took us for a night ride through Prague. So busy and so historic. Got to research this event where they became a republic!

A beautiful shot. The swans are lovely and I like the lights in the water.

Beautiful capture of the Vlatava River, a very enchanting river I would say. I've been to Prague many years ago. It is a wonderful city and I would love to visit it again one day.

It’s beautiful there. Here people are fined if they don’t clean up after their dogs, sounds like Prague needs to do that too.

[Myrna O'Hara]

You certainly go some interesting places and do interesting things!!!

[Islandgirl]

Wow sounds like a lovely evening............enjoy the city!

I like the swans set in this night scene Maggie, something a bit out of the ordinary. Glad John got a bargain jacket, but not good about the dog poo!

[Ann Williams]

Do you think the swans were chasing the reflected light in the river? Pretty night shot,

[Maggiemae]

@flowerfairyann They chase the people who feed them bread of course, Ann! I was interested in their black tails!

[Faye Turner]

Lovely capture!

[Pat Knowles]

I love the way you caught these two swans, they look dwarfed by the wall & buildings. I am so surprised that Prague doesn't deal with dog poo like most other countries! You did the Indian too, fantastic where all the fans are!

[Harry J Benson]

nice lighting and composition

[Helen Jane]

hope you enjoy Prague - we certainly did. This is a lovely reminder for me.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Taffy]

What a great way to see the city!

[CC Folk]

My mother had a friend who went to Paris, slipped in dog poop and broke her ankle. I guess they don’t have “pick up” laws there either!

[Darlene]

What a wonderful way to see the city. Sounds like friendly people along your way. A great shot of the view and swans too.

after the second world war Czechoslovakia was part of the Soviet Union bloc and when the communism in Europe was coming at an end at the end of the 80's, Czech and Slovakia were split and Czech became a republic in 1993. interesting history to this country. the almost second mr. summerfield was from Czech Republic. your shot invokes poems and prose. aces!
