Home thoughts from abroad is a new series on Travel Words featuring a single photograph that reminds me of a country visited and showing something that uniquely identifies it as being ‘abroad’.
A day trip from Prague in a cold October took me to Český Krumlov a town dominated by a large castle. After visiting the castle and having a typical Czech lunch in a restaurant in the square we were left to our own devices for a couple of hours. I immediately left the rest of the group and went wandering around the streets seeking interesting things to photograph. I was not disappointed. With its cobbled streets, quirky shops and architecture, the town is a tourist’s delight. As we departed in the late afternoon snow flakes began to fall…

I remember it on Cathy’s, not too long ago. 🙂 🙂 You’ve conjured an interesting shot, Jude.
Yes, Cathy took very similar photos to me.
Great memories lurking in those old photos Jude
Despite the policeman looking vaguely ‘familiar’, the Czech writing on the shop easily identifies this one as ‘abroad’.
Nice one, Jude.
Best wishes, Pete. x
So glad we have people around the world keeping watch over us and for us. Great photo, Jude.
Thanks Carol 🙂
You know I was thinking the other day, I can’t remember the last time I saw a police officer on the street in this country, but I have in other countries. Nice shot Jude.
Don’t see them down here, only in patrol cars and even that is very occasionally.
Great shot. It makes me want to write though bubbles. Is he profiling the two other figures??? I’m not as mellow about policemen as some.
He seemed very relaxed. No stab-proof vest or semi-automatic either.
I had always intended to visit this place, but it never happened….it looks my kind of place to explore and take photographs
