Trumpets and Bones
My favorite photo from a recent trip to visit friends in Kutná Hora, a small town east of Prague. It's famous for the cathedral of St. Barbara and the mediaeval silver mines. The slightly morbid bone crypt, reportedly decorated with the bones of more than 40,000 people, is a rather morbid attraction.
This little guy struck me as one of the more bizarre combinations of the Baroque chapel and the bone decoration. See how cute it is?

A graduate student in music and anthropology writing a dissertation about music in Moravia, the eastern third of the Czech Republic. At some point, the Czech Republic's "second city" (that would be Brno) captured my attention, and I've since been blogging about events, arts, music, and other stuff—basically whatever interests me in and around the cityscape. I'm not living in Brno now, but I keep up with the cultural pulse from afar as best I can.
