Geocache Description:


Well, it's officially a series now... There has been enough positive feedback with my Eye Spy caches that I have made a couple more. There is now a bookmark list for the series! They have been a lot of fun to create.

This puzzle will take you to Prague, also known as the Golden City, the city of a hundred spires (although today's count is approximately 500), the Mother of Cities, and the Heart of Europe. This photo was taken in 2017 approximately one year ago, and this image has just been released in the last week or so. The quality is outstanding! I wasn't planning another puzzle so soon, but when I saw this I couldn't resist.

To determine the cache location, you need to do some looking around in the photo for some specific sights. None of the photos displayed on this cache listing have been altered.

A. Find this shield. Tiny hint, gargoyles are below it. Then look at an up-left direction for the Obnoveno (Not sure on my spelling) stone, sort of outlined in white. Take the year from it.

B. Behold, the holy hand grenade of Antioch! Find the grenade, then look below to find a friend with what I will call the sun staff. Take the 8 letter, 3 vowel word from inside the staff (AS).

C. This is a very impressive church! At the main entrance, there are two clocks. They both have the same time, but the higher one is easier to read. What number is the minute hand at? This should be a higher number than the hour hand.

D. Bluelamb!! Well, altough this is probably a horse, we will call it a bluelamb in honour of a fan of this series... Below and a little to the left are two white numbers: A 3 digit number with red background, directly beside a 2 digit number on a blue background. Add the numbers together for D.

E. Oh, hi Santa! Where is he? AS the white, 6 letter name above him.

F. What a nice rooftop patio! For this one, you are going to need to go way "up" until you see an advertisment... text on the right, phones on the left. Take the AS of the 2nd, 5 letter word on the right (there are 4 words on this ad)

G. What a beautiful angel! Just off to the right is a 4 digit white number on a black background.

H. Check out these buddies hanging out. There are people on our right (their left) in the middle of crossing the street. How many people are there?

J. Find this painting of a woman geocaching, then find the AS of the brand of satellite dish closest to her (as far as we can see anyway)

K. Yes, this geocache will even take you whale watching! Purple whale watching, in fact... Find the purple whale, and then take the AS of the business above (black letters, 2 words, 13 letters).
Final:
Add up your answers from A to E and call this X. The DR of X is 5.
X + 4750 = the last 4 digits of the North.

Add up your answers from F to K and call this Y. The DR of Y is 7.
Y – 7223 = the last 4 digits of the West.
