I am really happy to see more and more great photos being submitted to this challenge every day. Yesterday was no exception, we had several awesome entries featured in the photo challenge, including this impressive image taken by our regular contributor @nenio with the following description:

Many people will agree that the most famous monument of Prague is Charles Bridge. Here there is a view of this bridge crossing the Vltava River. The bridge with its towers is built in Gothic style. The sepia tone of the photo, gives to the mage a nostalgic mood.

The National Museum, in Czech: Národní muzeum, was founded in 1818 and is located at the top of the Wenceslas Square. The building as you can see in the photo was actually build between 1885 and 1890. Sadly it was attack during WW2 and in 1968. The National Museum holds five departments in more than 11 buildings all over the city. Actually the main building is closed since 2011 for reconstruction. The planned opening is scheduled for October 2018.

Excellent entry! Thank you for sharing with everyone!

Autumn in the Seminary Garden

IMG_7329.JPG

This photo shows a view through the orchards on the slopes of Petrin Hill to the Church of Our Lady of Victories and the Old Town beyond. The trees had just begun to change colour in early October when I visited the old Seminary orchard now a part of the extensive public park that encompasses the north side of Petrin Hill.

Nice and peaceful scenery :) I know exactly where this spot is on the way to the Petrin Lookout ;)

This looks so calming, a perfect place to sit and think.

Stunning entry, stunning picture! Thank you so much! Have a great day and keep on steeming. Tomas

I've been to Prague many times. It is always a pleasure to return to this city. Despite the large number of tourists, you can always live your own story. This photo from one of my first visit. Then only opened the passage in the cathedral of St. Witt. And at the exit from it you could make a picture of the vault and stained glass. But so that on a photo it was not visible people. As if you are alone in this huge and majestic structure.

Thank you so much for your beautiful entry!

Wallenstein Garden, Prague

This photo reminds me of the Wallenstein Garden that I walked into by accident on my last day in Prague. The baroque garden is really beautiful and also features this pavilion that is now used by the Czech government.

Stribrne Jezero (coloquially known as Sadrak) in Opava, Silesia, Czech Republic. It is a flooded quarry that attracts hundreds of local people in summer as the water is very clear and refreshing. There are few people around the lake in fall, although it offers these beautiful views. Image taken in October 2015.

Fabulous! Great post!

Prague astronomical clock or Prague orloj on the Old Town Square. Every hour tourists with cameras at the ready gather in front of the Old Town Hall to enjoy a amazing performance and take photos. The clock is one of Europe's best known tourist attractions.

One just has to love that old clock:)... Have a great day and keep on steeming! Tomas

Hus Congregational House of Czechoslovak Hussite Church (Husův sbor), a Hussite church in Na Václavce Street in Prague's district of Smichov. It's a functionalist building built in 1935. The construction lasted for 10 months and the basic building material was concrete.

Nice! I used to rent an apartment not to far from there some 13 years ago. Time goes so fast:(.....

I take pictures of architecture very often. Mostly modern ones. Gothic temples are really inspiring for me, and I still wonder how it is possible that these buildings still stand. The photo of the vault in the Cathedral of sv. Vít is nothing original, but the construction is just impressive.

Thank you for your entry. Great addition to the challenge. Tomas
