Like most people who have lived in Prague, I've taken so many pictures of the Karluv Most, or Charles Bridge, that after a few years it becomes necessary to be selective. I thought this cameraphone shot was acceptably interesting to post because of the yellow paddle boats catching the eye at the bottom of the shot. I've actually rented paddle boats in Prague before, but they aren't any more notable than other paddle boats. The river is the Vltava, as I've written elsewhere, so you're able to paddle north of the Karluv Most, with the south end being made impractical by a lock that's generally only suitable for larger boats (as I understand it, someone correct me if I'm wrong). There are also paddle boat rentals for use south of the lock, and I seem to remember actually renting one of those, rather than one of these.

This shot shows the area of Stare Mesto around the Karluv Most, seen on the left. The building with the clock tower is partly taken up by the Karlovy Lazne nightclub now, and the building to the left of it contains the Bedrich Smetana museum (or once did). These buildings were damaged in the recent Prague floods of June 2013.

While crossing the Vltava on the Manesuv Most, I used both the Ikoflex and the cameraphone, although strangely I preferred what the cameraphone gave me on this occasion.

This is actually a mini canal that allows boats on the Vltava to bypass the waterfall by the Karluv Most. I looked up the name on Google Earth and it was called Certovka on there, although I'm not sure if this is accurate.
