Hello fellow Steemians,
I hope you are all having a great day! :) 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 @lcdoreyes:
Due to its location in the forested Elbe River valley and its architectural design, the dam is one of the most beautiful in the whole Czech Republic and perhaps it was also declared in 1964 a national technical monument.

Prague. This picture with the typical red tram is on the street corner at "Narodni Divadlo" (National Theater) It was a bit later and the street lights were just turned on. In the background is the Prague Castle.
Not only this is an amazing image but you have also captured a place that I like very much which is Kavarna Slavia. It is a very well known coffee place where famous poets and writers used to hang out in the past. Well worth featuring in today´s edition. Tomas
Thank you very much, Tomas. Unfortunately, I was never in the Kavarna Slavia and did not know anything about the famous people. It seems like a great place to look for inspiration. I'll take a closer look at my next visit. Thanks for your comment about this place. :) James
Trees reflected in a lake in Stare Techanovice, Moravian - Silesian Region, Czech Republic. There is another lake next to it that belongs to Daviduv Mlyn, a popular restaurant where customers can fish their own lunch. The fish are kept in the lake so it is very easy to catch them with a fishing rod.
The Dancing House or Fred and Ginger is the nickname given to the building at the right riverbank for its unusual shape. Standing among Baroque and Gothic houses, it was very controversial when they built it in 1996.
St Ludmila is located in the Vinohrady & Vrsovice area.
St. ludmila has two twin towers. Around ludmila st there is a small park which is well maintained and looks very beautiful. when spring flowers bloom in the yard ludmila. Indeed when I was not with the guide came to st ludmila. But because it is not far from my hotel. I also toured around ludmina st park. I also photographed flowers in the park st ludmila.
The Church of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary at Trávníček, Na Slupi, Vyšehrad, Praha 2, Allegedly the first Gothic church in Prague founded as Gothic from beginning.
The biggest problem for photography in Prague is transportation - tramway, tram wires, traffic lights, signs, railings ... (If you do not fix /edit it/ a photo like me.)
But it's a low price. Charles IV built the city so modernly that on its original ground plan it could withstand all traffic even after nearly 700 years!
Few buildings only had to break down.Prague is not a scansen, but a living city!
Prague famous Astrological clock. I had heard of the clock before going to prague but I never thought I would get the chance to see it. So when I set up my Prague trip I had forgotten it was there. So let me tell you, when I looked up cool shit to see, I was ecstatic that the clock was in Prague. It is a really beautiful sight.
The city of Kutna Hora. The Cathedral of St. Barbara. The construction of the temple took more than 500 years. The church resembles the St. Vitus Cathedral on the Prague Castle, since both were created by masters of the same architectural school. Indeed, much similar in architecture, but still they are different. In addition to the basic details, St. Barbara's temple is also distinguished by the original chasers with a hammer and an apron.
I took this picture in Brno during one of my travels but i honestly cannot recall what structure it is. Nonetheless, the beauty, symbolism and what the picture represent cannot be taken away. I am hoping @czechglobalhosts will help me identify it. It was my first visit to Brno city
Rudolfinum is a Neo-Renaissance building in the center of Prague on Palach Square. The construction took place between 1876 and 1881 and was opened on 7.2.1885. In 1919 -1941 the seat of the Czechoslovak Parliament was here. Currently, the building serves as a concert and exhibition hall. The Czech Philharmonic is housed here. Every year here takes place classical music festival Prague Spring.
Veltrusy Mansion is a baroque château situated near the banks of the Vltava River, about 25 km north of Prague. The mansion was initially built in 1716 by architect František Maxmilian Kaňka for Count Václav Antonín Chotek of Chotkov and Vojnín. The original mansion was extended in 1764 by architect Giovanni Battista Alliprandi on the orders of Count Rudolf Chotek of Chotkov and Vojnín, who also commissioned the interior decoration.
