Detail of the tomb of St John of Nepomuk, one of the Czech protestant reformists who was thrown off the nearby Charles Bridge.

Because Prague had so much easily accessible silver they made the entire tomb out of solid silver, nearly two tonnes!

Taken in St Vitus Cathedral, Prague

These are the skulls of some 40,000 plague victims used to build a small chapel in a town just outside of Prague.

Taken at Sedlec Ossuary, Kutna Hora.

Disney eat your heart out! This is a castle in a small village outside Prague and is in surprisingly good condition with even some of the internal decoration and furniture surviving.

Was a bit of a trek getting up the hill though!

Finally managed to get a decent shot of one of the blue tits that are visiting our garden. Unlike the robins, these guys are extremely skittish and normally fly away as soon as I appear at the back door.

If you look at this at arm's length and cross your eyes you might be able to see the image of a woman's dress just jump right out of the screen
