Hello fellow Steemians,

I hope you are all having a great weekend! All cryptos, including Steem, are back in the green after the yesterday drop so lets hope it will keep growing again :) 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 @liltammy:

Karlovy Vary is a spa town situated in western Bohemia. It is the most visited spa town in the Czech Republic. It is famous for its hot springs. The geyser of the Hot Spring is a unique natural phenomenon. Thanks to high pressure, it gushes to a height of almost 12 metres.

Memorial at Petrshin hill in the Small town, It is seven bronze male figures descending down the stairs. The farther away, the figures become more and more "destroyed," they lose limbs, and fractures appear in the bodies. This should symbolize how political prisoners suffered from the communist regime. In the center is a bronze inscription indicating the number of victims of communism.

Thank you Jul for some very interesting information. Your post will be featured as an entry one today. Tomas

Naplavka is a riverbank promenade in Prague, full of Pubs, beer stands, boats where you can buy beer, and dj's. It is a great place in the spring and summertime to chill out, walk around, and enjoy the city skyline. Also it offers breathtaking views.
Btw. @czechglobalhosts Tomas, thank you for featuring my photo!

Well deserved! Great pic and the story.

Photo of a sculpture of a pregnant woman, located in Prague. The author is the contemporary Czech artist David Černý. The sculpture is made of polished metal and it looks that is in modular form.

hello! Continue to share some of the plaques inside Prague Castle. I'm saving the best ones till the end and here is my person favourite. The blend of colours is amazing, the details of the whole plaque and notice there is a horse or donkey animal on it. It looks very powerful and the action seems like they are in charge.

I know this shot has been here many times but I think this is one of those views that you simply cannot get enough. The panoramic view of the Prague Castle as seen from the Charles Bridge against grey sky, slightly zoomed-in. I just wish the house with the blue roof didnt put the disruptive banner there... :D

Yep, one can never get tired of that view!

The view of Český Krumlov Castle. It dates back to 1240 when the first castle was built. Currently the castle is listed as a national heritage site (and in 1992 it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List) and thus serves as a major tourist attraction in Český Krumlov.

Thank you so much for your great entry. Tomas

To look at the guard of honor is always interesting. It is always beautiful and combines a part of history and traditions. The truth is when we went to watch it was pretty cold. A little warmer than 10 degrees below zero. When you walk on a mountain it is not so noticeable. But when you stand in one place and wait ..

Český Krumlov is a town in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. This photo was taken while I was on the excursion 4 years ago, it was an incredible experience and I had a lot of fun. This is one of the most beautiful place I have ever visited.

Thank you so much for your wonderful entry. Tomas

Views of the historic center of Prague from the St. Nicholas Church, seen as the most impressive example of Prague Baroque. It is situated along with the former Jesuit college in the center of the Lesser Town Square. It is an architectural masterpiece and offers spectacular views. Great place to sniff some local culture :)
