The Charles Bridge or Karlův Most, turns 652 years old today. I remember the bridge as a busy place full of tourists in the afternoon and in the evening a place to gather to hear music and look at art, but my favorite time was in the morning when it was used by folks walking to work. Back in 1357, Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, chose to begin construction of the bridge at 5:31 AM, so that the date and time read as follows, 1-3-5-7-9-7-5-3-1. That ol' Charles IV was a clever guy and they named the bridge for him too, not bad at all. Anyway, it is a very special place, a true treasure, hopefully it will last another 652 years. So tonight pictures of the Karlův Most, but without including the most common photograph in the world. 
Enjoy
