The Angel Praying at Vyšehrad

2016-12 / Prague, Czech Republic

Vyšehrad is perhaps my favourite part of Prague. I think that's because there are virtually no tourists around. Plus, it has a cemetery and a cathedral on site. Not to mention, on the grounds, there are vantage points high above the Vltava River where you can see across to the city. It's beautiful at sunset.This angel is on one of the posts lining a fence that guards a small section of the cemetery with about 20 different graves. I couldn't find a notion as to why these graves were marked off, but they had the lovely cherubs so I took this photo as the sun was setting.I've only ever been to Vyšehrad during the day, only at sunset. I'll have to do a dawn exploration sometime.
