The Charles Bridge is a great way to get from one side of Vltava River to

the other and at the same time view a wonderful collection of centuries

old religious scultpures. Here is a detail of Ferdinand Brokof's Trinitarian

Order Of Mendicants sculpted in 1714. At the top of the monument are

St. John de Matha, St. Felix de Valois, and the Blessed Ivan - founders

of order which set out to collect ransom money for the release of

Christians enslaved by the infidels, shown in the prison cell at the base.

This is certainly a good crop from this impressive sculpture. The stonework has been produced splendidly by you..Well done!

...and taking the time to comment. An intriguing and unusual monument. Keith, this was not a crop, but a separate close up. One CS3 trick that really makes drab stonework pop is a colour burn overlay at 10-20% opacity. Cheers! RickDB
