Karlstein


Here's another favorite shot of mine, taken at Karlstein Castle, just outside Prague.

Cool Shot

The Greatest Certainty


Speaking of certainty, here's something we can all be sure of....

St George Church


Here's a photo of the tomb in St George Church.

I was so busy taking photos in Prague, I didn't have time to do much reading up on things. The entire time I thought, I'll be back here someday soon. Everything about the trip (we were also in Weimar) had the feeling of return, somehow. I knew I'd be back, although, of course, it isn't possible to really know. I was more sure of the fact that I'd return to Prague than I am sure, though it pains me, that I'll ever see my family members again. (It's only 4,000 euro to fly to Salt Lake this summer). But these are all just vague feelings. It did however seem like certainty that I would return to Prague. The thought of visiting the United States is rather uncertain, not unlike the thought of me becoming employed. Writing a novel, hovering toward Prague/Weimar, are greater certainties somehow.

St George Church


Here's another shot in the St George church. It's a lovely religious relic.

This is a secret photo, by the way. ;-)

I'll tell you another secret. While I was in Prague, I imagined lots of things. One of my big phantasies while there was to pack up, move there, and start learning Czech. We learned one Czech word, "doebrieden," meaning "Thank You." Of course, I have no idea how to spell it. I decided that I could learn Czech. I was already reading and understanding things the first day. I also learned how to say "Next stop...." It's such a beautiful city. Tragic, really, not to spend at least a few years living there.

St George, Prague


This must be a statue of St George himself. It was so crowded at the church, we had to move continually. I always have time for snapshots, however....

St George


I was in a big hurry to make it through St George Church in the Prague Castle tour, but I'm not sure why anymore. This is another "illegal" shot....
