Hello fellow Steemians,
I hope you are all having a great 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 @nenio:
In Prague, we can find motives for interesting photos in each corner or each square. This photo was taken at Kranner’s Fountain. It is a monument built during the rule of Emperor Franz Joseph. It has different sculptures that represent the different regions of the Czech lands. In the image there is one of these figures, and behind it there is a building of interesting architecture.

My @phortun :) sitting on a bench in front of one some 80 beautifullly decorated wine cellars found in Petrov - Plze in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. The vineyard complex has a tradition dating back to as far as the 15th century.
Love it! I will be cycling through that region next month.... and tasting the wine of course:).... What a great entry that put a smile on my face to start a week off....
No super, tak to určite nevynechaj Petrov - Plže (burčák) + prístav, Strážnica - zámeček + skanzen, v Skalici samozrejme trdelník.. a tak ďalej, ale určite už máš svoj itinerár :)
Jo a ďakujem, že si vybral moju fotku, phortun sa ale veľmi fotiť nechcel :D
Panoramic view of the Peter´s Pond and landscape surrounding the Czech-Polish border captured from the Cvilin Lookout Tower. Built in 1903, the tower is located on the top of the Cvilin Hill above the Silesian town of Krnov.
Great Pic I liked it so much !!
Here is a statue portraying two persons, a man, and a lady, and the lady is giving the man a piece of bread. It can be found in Brno, and it was placed there in 1962. It is a bit outside the inner city center, but still easy to discover!
the Church of St. Nicholas is one of the most beautiful churches I have had the pleasure to meet! Wonderful. a must for anyone visiting the cozy city of Prague. Excellent stained glass Very well maintained, they tell you a story in images. Small but nice enough to capture your attention.
It is harvest time, and as you drive along the motorway or the countryside in the Czech Republic, you can see wheat and other agriculture products as they grow. It is beautiful, especially when the sunflower is blossoming (that is a bit to late now). Still, a drive along the countryside is amazing! The picture was made along the highway traveling towards Prague.
The Smetana Lookout offers beautiful views of the Vltava valley - the Štěchovice water reservoir and the opposite bank of the famous Ztracenka settlement, where the oldest tourist trail in our country - the Svatajánské proudy passes . Smetana's prospect is secured by railing.
The Peace Square (Namesti Miru) is one of the most important squares in Prague and is located in the Vinohrady district. The square is very pretty and full of restaurants and church of Santa Ludmilla is very beautiful to visit. You can easily get there by underground or tram in the homonymous stop that is practically in the middle of the square.
The cathedral is spectacular and fascinating how long it's been under construction. The history of Prague Castle is long and would be difficult for kids but super in depth.
The golden lane is fascinating for it's construction between the city walls. The tiny houses were used into the 1950s!
St. Barbara's Church
Learn of the history of the place. It was a result of the complicated relationship between a father and his daughter. Went in to admire the setting of the church. Impressive.- the altars, the side chapel, the ceiling, the frescos, the statues in honor of miners and shepherds. Most impressive was the Last Supper main altar.
St. Vitus Cathedral
One of the greatest place to go when being in Prague. However, as anywhere else in the touristic area, this is very crowded. This a very beautiful, huge cathedral. It is hard to describe the beauty of its stained glass windows, altars, and architecture.
