One further depth to the illusion was to see a rare example of a Rennaissance theatre, with a stage much deeper than the audience containing a system of flats which could be almost instantly shifted by a turning axel under the stage to quickly change scenes. It seems that fireworks were often used to further heighten these moments… thus causing said rarity.
We saw it in action only via our group’s imagination stimulated by a wonderfulguide,an American who has lived there for many years with a profound appreciation for this gem. I am going to allow you to make your own tour, only if you wish, with my version of a silent slideshow. Just poke about my views as you wish. Meet me on the other side of town…
Begin with this photographic overview from the web…
Then refer to this Map of Cesky Krumlov Castle
if you want to peek deeoer into the buildings.
There was a minor show on the river,
which obviously attracts recreational boat traffic…
this one got high centered attempting to run the spillway…
I enjoyed this view of a saint with a sagging halo
causing him to be seemingly on his phone with a mouthpiece…
note that the “evil eye” amulet, which is identical
to the one Stephen brought back last year from Istanbul,
reminding us that the Turks were long in this area.
