Prague Metro into Kobylisy

Just something different as January ends. Inside the Prague Metro coming into Kobylisy. I lived in Kobylisy for 2 months last summer for the whole months of July and August, until I moved to Jirího z poděbrad. I was far away from Centrum, but a nice area of Prague.

Church of St. Nicholaus

...as one walks across the Charles Bridge, crossing into Mala strana, one sees this sight, Church of St. Nicholaus(Mikuláš). This is the largest of Prague's churches and founded by the Jesuits, with construction beginning in 1703. The dome was completed in 1751. Over a Baroque organ is a fresco of St. Cecilia, patron saint of music; the organs were played by Mozart in 1787.

Looking Into Malostranská....

Looking across the Vltava into small town Prague, or in Czech, mala straná/malostranská. Hradčany, Prague Castle is seen on top of the hill...

For my Porsche Club Friends...

This Midnight metallic blue Porsche 997 Turbo, was seen in Malostranká/Mala straná last weekend... There are many Porsches here in Prague... and interestingly, the Turbo is THE most common variety that one sees here in Prague... When you see a Porsche, more likely than not, it will be a late model Turbo... whether it be summer, fall or winter, like in this case. I have never seen the classic 911 SC or Carrera while here.
