more pictures

Ok, so here are some more pictures from Prague and some of the surrounding towns that I have been to visit. The selection is a bit random, but I am just trying to give an overall picture of what I have been seeing while I have been here. And I have only gotten this far in the labeling process :) So, same drill as last time.

1) Close-up of the massive amounts of bones just stacked everywhere throughout the charnel house

2) Close-up of a the shield which I am standing next to in #4. The raven pecking the skull is the most famous piece of "decoration" in the church

3) View of the chandelier, which is said to contain one of every bone in the human body

4) Me inside of the Sedlec Charnel house (aka...the Bone Church), note the massive amount of bones stacked behind the shield.

5) Another view of St. Barbara's Cathedral

6) Inside of St. Barbara's Cathedral

7) Unusual painting of "laborers." Such themes are hardly ever found in churches (inside of St. Barbara's Cathedral)

8) St. Barbara's Cathedral

9) View of St. Barbara's Cathedral in the distance (building to the very right is a Jesuit college...or a former Jesuit college...one or the other :) )

10) Building from the historical city center of Kunta Hora (whose significance escapes me...I think it had to do with a specific architecture type though)

11) Cesky Sternberk castle (located about 2 hours from Prague)

12) Nelahozeves castle (located in a town about 45 minutes outside of Prague)

13) Prague castle at dusk looking out one of the windows at Charles University

14) Prague castle again
