“The Thames was all gold. God it was beautiful, so fine that I began working a frenzy, following the sun and its reflections on the water.” -Claude Monet, French Impressionist painter fascinated by the effect of light and reflection

In all honesty, I still have to pinch myself to make sure that it is real — this living in Prague, majestic city perched along the Vltava River. We’ve lived in Prague for nearly two years, and I have seen the Prague Castle countless times. But I will never tire of seeing it. It is so beautiful.

On this evening, my family and I and a friend’s family ate dinner along the River. These two photos show part of our view. Doesn’t seem real, does it?

I love being here, in this medieval city whose past tells so many tales. Every view is breathtaking. And I can’t help wondering what Monet would’ve thought if he would’ve seen Prague …

Surely, I am inspired.

Have you been to Prague? What is your favorite view?
