Photograph by James L. Stanfield Snow falls on the city of Most in the northwest of the Czech Republic. The name of the city, most means "bridge" in Czech, harkens back to the swampy landscape of the 10th and 11th centuries that was covered with wooden bridges and used by merchants to transport goods from Prague to Freiberg and back.(Photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Czechoslovakia: The Velvet Divorce," September 1993, National Geographic magazine)
