St. Vitus Cathedral- Prague





St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague is a Roman Catholic Cathedral. This Cathedral is the most beautiful Gothic cathedrals that i have visited. The Gothic architecture is the most important and biggest in the country. The detail of the carvings are stunning and one aspect of my visit which was mind-blowing for me was the stained glass windows. The rose window, as shown above shows the scenes from the biblical story of creation. And when the sun light shines through the window the stained glass reflections in the cathedral are breath taking, the cathedral becomes its own art piece to admire,  words can not explain how stunning it is. 

The inspirational thing about this cathedral is the harmony you feel when you are inside, its peaceful and is a pleasure to be in. Definitely worth a visit when you can, this is truly memorable and is an experience you will not forget in a hurry.

The Jolly Postman


These books written by Janet and Allan Ahlberg are books that i used to read when i was younger, they were my favorite books ever and they still are, even they are meant for younger children. What inspired me most about them was the interactivity of the book. On every page there is something different for you to do and find, each page is full of another surprise. This book is magical and shows a high level of imagination and creativity. The illustrations are also a joy to look at too.
