The Old and the New!

Just a sample of my photos from my trip to Prague with my son!
Moi under the astronomical clock!
Me on Charles Bridge!
Looking at the Lesser Town from Charles Bridge
The old town square with the Tyn Church in the background.
My favourite sight in Prague the astronomical clock!Everyday throngs of tourists gather here to see the clock strike the hour and the two shutters above the clock open and the figures of the 12 apostles appear in each window maybe two at a time,while the skeleton figure below on the right(not in this photo)rings a bell.Its all over in seconds and there is a sigh of dissapointment from everyone when that happens! A trumpeter in full regalia then appears on the parapet above and plays his trumpet for a few seconds and proceeds to the other three corners of the castellated top where tourists are gathered for a fine view of Prague!

The Palladium Shopping Centre,200 shops all leading brand names very modern and chic!

  2. Wasn't this a magnificent clock. No modern shopping malls when we were there.
