 we leave Krakow in the morning, and drive through Moravia's rapeseed fields... |
 ...to arrive in Bohemia's Cesky Krumlov as evening approaches |
 it's a short walk over the Vltava from our pension to the old town (and dinner) |
 |
 here's the Schiele Centrum; we'll have to come back here tomorrow |
 |
 night is falling on the castle |
 |
 looks like it's time for bed! |
 the next day, the sun is out |
 approaching the church of St. Vitus |
 |
 |
 a view of the castle... |
 ...and down the Vltava toward an old factory area |
 the Round Tower is a magnet for our camera |
 |
 a view down from the bridge at Rooseveltova |
 here's the Marian Plague Column... |
 ...in the nam Svornosti (old town square) |
 interesting wall badges all over town |
 |
 |
 |
 back at the Schiele Centrum to see a rich set of his art and a good history of his short life |
 ...plus several interesting temporary exhibits by comic artists |
 even the back doors are interesting in this town |
 back on the streets again |
 |
 it's the real thing |
 |
 not sure about this particular utility... |
 now we're headed toward the castle |
 |
 |
 climbing up through the series of courtyards |
 |
 |
 |
 this one is a bit disturbing! |
 |
 the views from the Most Na Plasti are remarkable |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 above the castle, the gardens are a calm retreat |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 back in town, we're heading up again |
 |
 |
 the city has done an excellent job integrating modern life with the old architecture... |
 ...a topic covered well by an exhibit at the regional museum |
 |
 evening is approaching again; we take a last look toward castle hill... |
 ...and across the river... |
 ...and say farewell to Cesky Krumlov |
