I don't remember which exhibit it was in.....

I love it too! That sort of bas relief has always intrigued me...

[Flaxbee]

Thank you for sharing them. I still haven't made it to Prague, even though I've researched it a bit. It's amazingly well preserved, isn't it? I love the old town one. Well, I love all of them, but that is my very favorite!

I hope you'll post more, if you get a chance. :hi: :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

18. Stunning pictures, Peggy!

The two of the concentration camp gave me chills, and not the good kind.

I especially liked the Prague pictures.

Thanks so much for sharing your vacation with us!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. My dear SeattleGirl!

I felt quite strange walking around in the concentration camp...

So much suffering way back then....and now? A quiet, almost peaceful place...

Glad you enjoyed these, sweetie.....

:hug:

[Inchworm]

20. I'm a fan :)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

22. These are really gorgeous, Peggy

The concentration camp pics really got me, of course. We want to go to Prague sometime (and Budapest). Thanks for posting!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear DeposeTheBoyKing...

Oh, thank you!

I'm really pleased that you enjoyed these...

I've always wanted to see a concentration camp, and I'm really glad I went...

Prague is lovely, and I've heard wonderful things about Budapest...

It is always my pleasure to post the beautiful things I'm lucky enough to see!

:hug:

[bridgit]

28. cool pics, Peg, i like the alter, the ceiling piece, the little pipe organ...

and the stone horse at the bottom :headbang:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. My dear bridgit!

Oh, thanks, sweetie!

Sooo glad you like these! They are my children, after all! :rofl:

My husband and I saw some amazing things...

:woohoo: :woohoo:

[Robeson]

29. Awesome pics Peg....

...just so you know, I'm very happy for you, and totally jealous! ;-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. My dear Robeson!

Thank you so much, sweetie....It means a lot...

Please don't be jealous......

I did have a very good time, but it was wonderful to come home to all of you ...:hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

32. Lucky you and Great Pics, dear Peg!

Just wondering...

How did you feel when you visited and went inside the concentration camp?

I think I would have felt an overwhelming sadness...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. My dear Whoa_Nelly...

Oh, thanks, sweetie!

Glad you had a moment to have a look...

Actually, the concentration camp didn't make me feel sad...

It's really quite peaceful now...

Or maybe I was just not letting myself feel the deeper emotions...

This wasn't a death camp per se....It was used to warehouse people, and as a waystation to the death camps...

I don't know...

[libodem]

34. Awesome

Thank you for sharing, California Peggy. So glad you had a wonderful vacation and came home safely.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. My dear llibodem...

I am always so happy to share!

I would just die if I couldn't....

Beauty has to be seen to be appreciated, I think!

Glad you enjoyed these!

I too am glad to be safely home... :hug:

[puerco-bellies]

36. Beautiful pictures C-P.

The first one of the boar was a way cool carving. The first camp picture froze me.. I am "apprenticing" with an acquaintance of mine. He is a Jeweler who's parent both survived the holocaust. He dad was from Germany, and his mom was from Czechoslovakia. I was leaving his apartment/workshop this afternoon and he mentioned that he was happy to pass on what he had learned to me because feels the Jewish people, and the Native American's both suffered much the same fate. It was today that he mentioned both his parents origins, and experiences. Weird timing to see the gate entry with the German wording "Work Will Set You Free", that was what the prisoners/victims of Auschwitz saw as they entered that camp..

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. My dear puerco-bellies...

Wow, what a bunch of weird coincidences, indeed...

The phrase "Work Will Set You Free" was used by the Germans ironically, BTW...

Glad you had a chance to see these!

And thank you...:hug:

[Fox Mulder]

37. Great pics!

I've always wanted to go to Prague. Hopefully someday I will. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. My dear Fox Mulder!

Glad you like these!

Save your money, and GO!

It is most definitely worth the effort........:hi:

[mvd]

41. Absolutely breathtaking, Peggy!

The horse in the last picture looks almost ghostly. Have a good day. I'll be going out soon to enjoy the nice day here. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. My dear mvd!

Oh, thank you sooo much, sweetie!

That horse struck me too....It was amazing in person!

I'm having a good day....just got home from my gym...

And our day is gorgeous! Hope you enjoy yours......

:hi:

[mvd]

43. Thanks, Peggy

This is a great day for June here. Around 70 with no rain. :hi:
