Wordless Wednesday: Mission San Miguel Arcangel
(Happy New Year!)
A 4th of July High Sierra drive, Part 2
(Continued from here)
We drove a couple of miles east down Sonora Pass and stopped at Sardine Meadow, intending to walk the mile or so up Sardine Creek to Sardine Falls.

Prague, Part 25: Prazky Hrad (Prague Castle) – II
Despite the throngs of visitors to the Prague Castle complex, if you go just a little ways away from the tourist attractions, many peaceful nooks and crannies await, and these were my favorite parts of the Castle, and of Prague generally.
Having already covered the sights of Prague Castle here, I will let the photos speak for themselves in this, the last post in my Prague series.

Prague, Part 24: Prazky Hrad (Prague Castle) – I
Prague Castle is known to be a crowded tourist magnet, which it is.

Prague, Part 23: Katedrála svatého Víta (St. Vitus Cathedral), interior
After waiting in a potentially very long line (go on a weekday or in the morning for the shortest waits, and be aware that this is an active church, so Sunday mornings are out), the interior of St. Vitus Cathedral is a treat for the eyes.

Prague, Part 22: Katedrála svatého Víta (St. Vitus Cathedral), exterior
Looming over the landscape of old Prague, St. Vitus Cathedral is quite impossible to miss, its gothic spires rising high above the large edifice of Prague Castle.

Prague, Part 20: Toy Museum
Incongruously located next to the heavily-touristed “Golden Lane” in Prague Castle is the Toy and Barbie Museum. It’s apparently the second-largest museum of its kind in the world. I cannot imagine that there is too much competition in that area, but one never knows….
Prague, Part 19: Schwarzenberský palác (Schwarzenberg Palace)
Near the main entrance to Prague Castle is the intricately-frescoed Schwarzenberg Palace.
