Saturday Snapshot

3/15/2014

It's been awhile since I've done a Saturday Snapshot post. But as the winter stretches on and on, I'm beginning to dream of summer and travelling. I put the pictures from our trip in 2011 as a slideshow on the background of my laptop. I thought I'd share three of my favorites from one of my favorite cities in the whole world - Prague!

This is actually the view from our hotel room. We were right up by the castle. I don't know how we got lucky enough to get this view, but I could have stared out the window for hours.
Picture
This is the effect of the stained glass in St. Vitus' Cathedral. I've never seen any other stained glass windows as vibrantly colored as these. They are absolutely beautiful!

This is a picture of the city, castle, and cathedral taken from Vysehrad, a fort down the river from the city center. Prague is one of those cities you could wander around in forever. I hope I'm blessed enough to be able to go back someday!
Saturday Snapshot is hosted by West Metro Mommy.

Lovely photos, especially the last one. I went to Prague in about 1991, and spent a lot of time messing about in rowing boats on the river.

Prague looks stunning! My wife and I would love to go some day and with all of the photos that have been posted lately it is getting moved closer to the top of the list.

It is a lovely city. I really like the one with the sun thru the stained glass!

I've always wanted to go to Prague! We didn't have time to get there during our honeymoon. Oh well...maybe when the kids are older!

My friend is on her way to Prague right now. It's funny but for so long Eastern Europe was at war and I still tend to think of it that way. But obviously it's a beautiful place to visit!

Oh, what memories! I, too, loved Prague! We have German friends who took us to visit the city ... arrived by train, took a taxi to a little tiny inn right off that big square where the astronomical clock is. We walked all over the Old City and up that huge hill to the castle! What a view from your hotel! Didn't it feel like a fairy tale location? So beautiful and with such architecture!

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.
