Looking for good galleries of location for a possible trip next year I found your fine images. You have fine scenes, but what you excel in is details. I've enjoyed your Prague and Bratislava galleries. Budapest is next. - Voted

to imbsysop: You're lucky you missed the crowds! It's the one place I've ever been in all my travels that I would have felt out of place without a camera :-). BTW thank you for the "Moldau" -- I knew there was another name for the river in English, but all my references give "Vltava." Helen

Helen Betts	PM reply	02-Nov-2004 01:01
Oh, you missed a great place! If you ever get another chance, be sure to go! But I'm glad you could at least visit through my gallery for now :-). Helen

Alicia		01-Nov-2004 23:25
The photos are awesome indeed! I had a chance to go there once but passed up on the opportunity. This is a great way to virtually visit. Thank you!

imbsysop		01-Nov-2004 22:55
Amazing place Prague is isn't it ? Was there right after the "revolution" so I kind of missed the crowds .. Beautifull set of pictures you made .. & BTW it is the Vlatva river aka the Moldau .. :-)
