"Do you know the world ?" -- Competition --


Recommended Posts

I can't believe it! Are you sure? I wanted to get the thread back up the page and made some wild guess based on your 'St Gallen' hint. I had forgotten that I had posted this guess... Glad I checked in on the forum site and then remembered.

Ok, I wil look for something!

I have been looking at Frans' photo over and over and kept wondering whether this is the Grotto in the Wallenstein Garden (Vajdštejnská zahrada), in Prague.

 

If it is, I deserve a slap on the head - after all, I was born in Prague.....

 

I used to wander around there during my teenage years and more recently visited the garden for the occasional concert, when travelling to Prague.

 

Cheers,

Dear Jan,

I knew somebody from Prague would get it! Well done. It is also the garden of the Czech parliament. Enclosed a picture which gives some more information about the grotto.

Your turn!

Thanks, Frans.

 

Even though technically I am 'from Prague', I left there in 1968 after the 'friendly help of the Warsaw Pact armies' and have lived in Canada for close to 45 years.... In 1990 I returned to Prague for the first time and visited just about every year - it is a magical city indeed.

 

As I won the 'World from above' as well, I will need some time to sort through suitable material - give me about a day or so.

 

Cheers,

 

Jan
