Metal Church @ 2019 Brutal Assault

Metal Church will be returning to this festival in 2026. Now how do I find a way to be there as well…
Happy Birthday, Scott Ian!

Czech Bear
Brown bear in Hrad Český Krumlov moat
You probably thought the title of today’s photo (assuming you saw the title before seeing the photo) was a typo.
I was surprised, not having done any advanced reading, to stumble upon this bear in the moat of the Český Krumlov Castle complex. There is a bear festival held every year on Christmas Eve here. This is the only time of the year when visitors are allowed in the enclosure. Kids feed the brown bears apples, Christmas biscuits, pastries, and honey. Of course, the kids aren’t in the moat at the exact same time as the bears or they would be on the menu as well.
Bears have been living in this moat for over 300 years. The family who owns this castle has a coat of arms featuring two bears.

I wasn’t on the top of the spire, of course, but you can see where this panorama came from by looking up from here. The Pilsner Urquell Brewery can be seen in the background on the left.
Also, it’s sort of odd the “City of a Hundred Spires” (Prague) doesn’t have the tallest spire in the country.
