We started out in Cesky Krumlov, a picturesque town with a castle looming over.
View from the castle.
Seidel home and photo studio (glass area) - a great museum, left as he used it. Beautiful art-deco furnishings.
Then on to Prague, also very picturesque. Had mostly really good food, discovered Mucha, an artist we didn't know of, and loved the operas and ballet. Public transport was free for over 70s.
Mucha window in the castle cathedral. He also was a very successful graphic artist doing posters, some much like the one in Tim's dining room, and later, spent many years doing a series of 30 or more, huge paintings depicting Czech history.
State Opera House, one of 3 similar venues for opera and ballet.
Had a lovely day in a park on the grounds of a previous castle with a beautiful church, refurbished in late 1800s in art-deco style.
Prague looks amazing. I love the photo overlooking the Vitava River. The paintings on the wall of the cathedral above must be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it is a city regulation that all rooftops must be red.
Both beautiful cities. Did you get a lot of walking in?
