Hello fellow Steemians,

I hope you are all having a weekend! :) As usually, I am here with my daily photo challenge where you can submit your personal images from your travels to Prague and other locations in the Czech Republic in the comment section below.

The best 15 entries of the day will get my upvote. I will then pick the absolute winner of the day from these 15 photos. The winning photo will be awarded with a bigger upvote and it will also be featured as the cover image for the challenge post the next day to give the author of the winning shot some more exposure and publicity.

Don’t forget to add a short background story for your entry with at least 30 words and let me just remind you one more time that only personal images will be accepted in the challenge.

There were many great entries submitted in the yesterday Prague/Czech Republic photo challenge and I had a hard time picking the best one. After a deliberate consideration, however, I decided to choose the following entry by @narchuk:

Czech Kumlov. A warm summer evening, which is especially pleasant to remember in the winter. Thanks to the rented car, we could stay in the city after excursion buses leave. It's amazing to watch the streets becomes empty. Soft sunlight on the roofs and walls of houses. A paradise for a man with a camera. And since I at that time had no rights for car driving. I could afford to myself not only shooting but also some beer.

The Malá Strana Bridge Tower is a gothic monument located in Prague. It is serves as the entrance to Malá Strana from the Charles Bridge. It was built in the late 14th century, during the rule of the Emperor Charles IV.

Beautiful your photo, I love it.

Glad you liked it! @francismoure
Hope you're having a great Sunday!

Great pic to feature in today´s edition:).... Have a great day. Tomas

Photo of the silhouette of the sculpture of Christ on the cross on Charles Bridge in Prague. At the background of the image there is the silhouette of St. Vitus Cathedral at the Castle. The silhouettes are against a deep blue sky that contrast the composition of the image together with the tilted angle of the photo.

Today, my photo is a view of Prague from the viewing point of Strahov Monastery.

From this site, you can see the whole of Prague - on the left St. Vitus Cathedral, on the right in the distance the Zizkov TV Tower and of, course this is all against the background of the most beautiful Strahov Gardens that have been preserved since the 19th century.

What a view! Thank you so much for your entry. Tomas

Loreta, a Marian pilgrimage site with the Baroque Church of the Nativity and a replica of the Holy House, surrounded by cloisters and chapels in Hradčany, a district of Prague. Construction started in 1626. The baroque facade was added at the beginning of the 18th century. In the tower there is a 27-bell carillon that plays the Loretan Marian song "A Thousand Times We Greet Thee" (every hour from 9 am to 6 pm). It was constructed during 1694 and heard since August 15, 1695.

Thank you so much for your great entrey. Tomas

My proposal today is this, I hope you like it ... The Charles Bridge is the oldest bridge in Prague, and crosses the Vltava River from the Old City to the Lesser Town. It is the second oldest existing bridge in the Czech Republic. It is the most representative and beautiful place in Prague, you can walk around all day, and it will seem like a short time.

The Štefánik Observatory in Prague is an observatory on Petřín Hill. It was opened in 1928 to make the knowledge of the astrological field accessible to people. In the 70 years of the 20th century, renovated. A In the current period is still open to the public.

I think today's post is a gamble but I really like it.

So this is a picture from an abandoned building on Petrin Hill. I think it is a bathroom window if I remember correctly. The building in near the waterfall about half way down the hill. I have no clue what the building use to be but it was pretty cool to see.

In 100 kilometers from Prague there is one of the famous castles of Prague - Sikhrov Castle.About the castle there are numerous legends about the ghosts, which is not surprising, because it exists since the 15th century.
Besides behind the castle is a wonderful park that is beautiful in any weather, both in summer and late autumn. It is the autumn photo of this beautiful park that I suggest you enjoy today.
I hope you like it!

Great entry! Thanky you so much for your participation. Tomas

Thanks Tomas!


Prague in winter is beautiful. Prague at night is beautiful. Why not to combine both? This is a view of Prague at night. I took this photo from the Prague Castle and you have a nice view of all these typical Czech building. All these roofs are usually red, now they are all white. Quite nice. At the back you can see Petrin Hill and the tower on the top of the hill is Petrin tower that looks a lot like an Eiffel Tower, just smaller.

This was taken in October 2010 (hard to believe its been that long ago!) I believe that I took this from the top of the park that you get to from the funicular. Although it is also possible that it was taken the day that we walked up to the metronome and then all along the top to the castle. Either way, it was a bit chilly but sunny. We really enjoyed Prague :-)
