Last Walk In Prague

Our last walk in Prague had a couple minor goals but was mostly one of those "targets of opportunity" outings. In that regard, this city never disappointed us.

Interesting block of structures down the street
from our apartment; the apex here was studded 
with mosaics which, alas, in the direct sun, did
not photograph well

Nonetheless

Turn the corner and, shazam! another movie set

Only a commercial, one of the crew explained, involving these
marionettes; probably 30 people and 10 trucks involved in this
little production

Long boom shot?

Acton!

Beautiful old building in the background

100 feet down the road, another crew was shooting an ad for,
apparently, cognac

Sitting atop this giant statuesque head

One reason why your cognac costs so much--or
anything else--the advertising production costs

Crew catering truck; note RV levelers on front end

Impressive portal, to be added to my "doors of
Prague" post

Featuring, Vicki observed, another of those "Oh God oh God oh
God that was great!" poses

So now we are at the Mucha Museum, looking
for stuff in its gift shop; we'd done the museum
before; what's there is mostly from his Paris
career, and it's abundantly represented in Paris
too

Just across the street, the gorgeous Palace Hotel

Back to Mucha, and a few of his Paris commercial
art phase posters

Only representation of the Slav Epic I saw; not what the tourists
want

Next up, another movie set; we didn't even bother to ask what this
one was about

Logistic support

A last look up Wenceslas Square

One the day's goals, the portal of the House of
Two Bears, said to be Prague's oldest Renaissance
portal (before Baby Bear and Goldilocks

Alpenglow, so to speak, on Old Town Square
