Superb views and delicious food. . #prague #rivervltava #charlesbridge #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #cihelna #vltavariverside #vltavariver Great afternoon in Stratford-upon-Avon. Although I have been here many times and visited Shakespeare's Birthplace, this is the first time I visited Shakespeare's grave in the Holy Trinity Church. The Church windows looked amazing in the late autumn sun.
