Nice shots. I love visiting old churches. While living in Dresden in 2015-16 I loved to visit the rebuilt Frauenkirche. It wasn't destroyed in the bombing but collapsed from the heat of the firestorm. It was rebuilt after the reunification. They discovered the altar under the rubble and found that they could reuse 80% of it. It is stunning.
Catching up on my responses again.

As usual, stunning photography by a master!
And one who has been almost everywhere. Thanks for the memories - in 1997, I spent 29 weeks in Prague directing a wireless telecom project. Love Prague (Praha)! And I hear they have decent beer there, too! 😁

My Dad used to tease me saying I looked like I was doing the St. Vidus Dance when I was a child back in the 50's. I never knew where that term came from and had not heard it again since my Dad passed back in the 70's but your post reminded me so I looked it up. It turns out it was a real medical condition:
"Sydenham's chorea, also known as chorea minor and historically and occasionally referred to as St Vitus' dance, is a disorder characterized by rapid, uncoordinated jerking movements primarily affecting the face, hands and feet."
Thanks Dave. The St Vitus Cathedral is a beautify biscillia.
(seems funny) but photo #9 could be a new form of confessional.
Especially during times of a pandemic. You are probably 6 ft. apart.
It could be a regular assembly line production for a quick in and out (ha ha).
Thanks for sharing.

Great set David. Brings back memories of our trip to Prague.
