More photos of Czech locations

The promised pic of the Brnensky Drak. And me with my head in the jaws of a harmless cartoon version of the hideous beast: These next ones are from last weekend's trip into the wilds of central Moravia. First, a kitschy garden/shopping center near Olomouc.


Pics of Helfstyn, my favorite Czech castle so far. Its ruins are decorated by the work of modern blacksmiths, who come every year to contribute new work.


Zuza sitting in one of the biggest trees I've ever seen, in the chateau gardens in Lipnik.

More from Lipnik:



These next several are from the area around Znojmo, a region of the Czech Republic where they drink a bright orange soda called Zlutka:










My friend Eva behind a beer tap:
And finally, a few more from Brno:

Some random photos to appease and confuse the eyes...

These first few are from Brno:





I had a picture here of the underbelly of the Brnĕnský Drak (the Brno Dragon), one of the city's mascots, but I accidentally deleted it. In the background of this next picture you can see a cathedral:


The following few pictures are from Prague:


The Bludištĕ, or MIRROR MAZE!!!!!



Finally some photos of Zuzana, this girl I know and like. Here she is in a town called Kromĕříž (you won't be able to pronounce it, so don't try), looking in the same direction as a statue.
Her dog Bara at my feet:
And Zuza in a hat.
I will post more pictures soon, if fate allows.
