Prague
Prague's bridges, Vltava River views, and memorable evenings drew my family there in 2019. I returned with my camera in 2025 to see the city in a new light.

Roger’s experience in Prague
Prague has been part of two of our family trips. In 2019 we explored the city together by boat and on foot. I returned in 2025 and joined an evening photography tour with Jan Miřacký. The Vltava and Charles Bridge kept drawing my camera back. The photos capture how a familiar place can feel different with each visit and each traveling companion.
Why travelers enjoy Prague
The river, bridges, architecture, and compact center make it rewarding to explore on foot and from the water.
