Spring at Strahov Monastery


After the Loreto, I walked up to Strahov Monastery. The most impressive thing in this complex is the beautiful library, with two ornate halls full of thousands of old books and antiquities (again, no photos allowed), but the simple appearance of flowers on trees all over Prague was beautiful in and of itself.
Spring in Prague this year may not have had as much 15C weather as I would have liked, but there wasn't the throng of tourists yet that will arrive for later in the summer, and I got to see thousands of trees like this one start blooming all around the city. Not a bad trade, I suppose!
