Charles Bridge Prague: Get set click
My first entry for this week’s Photo Challenge
Whole day this place is full of tourists and locals. Sometimes rather overcrowded.
Also this is one the favourite spots among photographers in Prague. Easy to find professional and non-professionals during dawn and dusk. You find people waiting with/without tripods to capture that perfect moment.
The Charles Bridge is a historic bridge that crosses the Vltava river in Prague, Czech Republic. Its construction started in 1357 under the auspices of King Charles IV, and finished in the beginning of the 15th century. The bridge replaced the old Judith Bridge built 1158–1172 that had been badly damaged by a flood in 1342. This new bridge was originally called the Stone Bridge or the Prague Bridge but has been the “Charles Bridge” since 1870. As the only means of crossing the river Vltava (Moldau) until 1841, the Charles Bridge was the most important connection between Prague Castle and the city’s Old Town and adjacent areas. This “solid-land” connection made Prague important as a trade route between Eastern and Western Europe.
The bridge is 621 metres (2,037 ft) long and nearly 10 metres (33 ft) wide, following the example of the Stone Bridge in Regensburg, it was built as a bow bridge with 16 arches shielded by ice guards. It is protected by three bridge towers, two of them on the Lesser Quarter side and the third one on the Old Town side. The bridge is decorated by a continuous alley of 30 statues and statuaries, most of them baroque-style, originally erected around 1700 but now all replaced by replicas.

Inspired by Becca’s Sunday Trees theme.
Tuesday Trails or tracks or Roadways 51
Prague before sunrise.
Every Tuesday I upload a picture of a trail or a track or a road. It is so much fun to take a walk and capture the track. Hope you enjoy it. If you like the idea feel free to join.
Next Week I will be presenting 52nd entry for the theme. I am excited and will present a post with a twist. LET ME THINK FIRST.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Blooming gracefully
Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Every natural action is graceful”. The blooming season for cherry blossom is a week or two but that does not make it less graceful than others. Thousands of flowers bloom “gracefully”. A gallery of six images for this week’s WPC
