Interesting images reguli, only some corrections to your describing text:
The official name of the river is "Vltava" which is also called by a popular German name "Moldau".
Vltava (Moldau) river is famous from Smetana's composition of the same name.
Your view from the King Charles Bridge shows only a Vltava river side chanel called "Certovka". This water was running mills since Middle Ages.
On the left side of your image is a historic area (island) called "Kampa".
It is always a great experience for me to visit Prague.
Thanks for sharing!

Continuing with my "mandatory seclusion" and taking time to sift through miles of photos, I am posting some shots of icons of Prague. Other iconic shots like St. Vitus and Prague Castle were very well done by David in Dallas a few days ago. Prague is a beautiful city and when this pandemic is over, I will intend to visit Prague again.
Well taken images.

Thank you for your comment about the name of the famous river crossing Prague. Since I was a child I have known the Moldava river through the famous composition by Bedrick Smetana "My country" (I do not know if it is the correct translation. In spanish is "Mi Patria"). But the real Czech name of the river I learn it in my visit to Prague, although I did not use it in the descriptions because I believe few people could understand.

Hi Jorge,
I am glad to see that you also love music!
BTW: "Ma Vlast" is a larger work - a symphonic poem composed by Bedrich Smetana that comprises of SIX parts.
The river VLTAVA is the second.
They are:
1. Vysehrad
2. Vltava
3. Sarka
4. Z Ceskych Luhu a Haju
5. Tabor
6. Blanik
I am sure, you would enjoy all of them?
Cheers and lots of pleasure in photography!
