  • The island

    Strelecky Ostrov is a small island situated in the Vltava river, somewhat reminiscent of Isola Tiberina in Rome or Île de la Cité in Paris. Unfortunately it's very small and prone to floods. The entire island was swallowed during the floods in 2002.

  • Man down, Ethan

    Does it look familiar? This is the riverside alley featured prominently in the beginning of Mission Impossible where Tom Cruise had all sorts of problems with his mission. Naturally I had to have a peek through the wooden fence where the bad guy was hiding.
