Sometimes you really have to work for your refreshments. Sometimes the right bar is just lying at your feet. And sometimes all that wisdom is just poppycock, or in German: Papperla-papp! Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Bars and Restaurants

Roof Square
Yesterday I showed the Great Synagogue of Plzeň. I had climbed up the tower of the Cathedral of St. Bartholomew to take the photo. The spire is with 103 m the highest in the Czech Republic, that’s the whole structure, of course, I was standing a few metres below. The view was amazing, showing a sea of roofs. The buildings get more modern the further you look away from the centre of town. It’s like a history of different pasts.

Pink Square
The Great Synagogue of Plzeň in the Czech Republic has the loveliest pink spires. The first stone was laid in 1888 and it is the second largest synagogue in Europe, and the third largest in the world. It was used as a place of worship in the past, survived the second world war as a storage hall, was shortly revived as a Jewish place of worship during communism but soon closed down as there wasn’t a large enough Jewish community to maintain the building. It was finally restored towards the end of the last century and is today used for various cultural events and is open to the public.
