Yesterday, immensely Cold!

Yesterday was THE coldest day of the season so far this year in Prague and in most parts of the Czech Republic.

Here in Prague, I woke up to -20 C, or -4 F, BELOW "OUR" ZERO! But, as I took tram #9 into Centrum and was crossing the Vltava, what a spectacular sight... the river was warmer than the air, and "steam" was rising from every part of the river, and then freezing onto the branches of trees lining the shoreline and on Marksman Island.. The trees were all "frozen" with icy white branches...just amazingly beautiful as the full sunlight was shining through it all... and then looking toward the castle through the frozen mist.... incredible!

..and I didn't even have my camera! though perhaps another day.

But Just beautiful.
