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 @magnata:
This wall appeared in 1980 immediately after the death of John Lennon. It was created by the Czech youth in memory of the idol. Although John Lennon himself was never in Prague. Repeatedly, the city authorities tried to stop all these arts of Lennon fans, forced to wash off the drawings. The wall was not painted once. But the inscriptions appeared again and again. Fans came day and night here, and created their art. Even installed CCTV cameras did not stop anyone. Now this wall is popular. The wall is constantly changing, because everyone wants to draw something on it or write something. At us some people stood near a wall with brushes and jars of a paint. On the wall there is a portrait of John Lennon, memorable phrases, statements, excerpts from the songs of John Lennon, numerous graffiti.

Krkonoše are highest mountains of the Czech Republic. People usually visit Krkonoše in the winter time, because there is a lot of possibilities for ski. But during the spring/summer season, you can visit and enjoy the sceneries and landscape even more than in the winter. I would recommend you to visit it.
Ahoj!
That sure is an amazing place any time of the year. Your entry will make a great entrance to today's contest. Thank you. Tomas
Thank you so much!
View of the Bird Hill in the center of Opava. The gazebo on the top of it is a popular hang-out spot among local youngsters. The hill is surrounded by trees and flower gardens, making it one of the greenest and most beautiful places in the city.
Prague View from Paris Hotel
I already posted Prague view from the special tower in Paris Hotel captured during sunset. Here is another version of this view captured after sunset during blue hour when all city lights and buildings illumination are on.
St Vitus Cathedral is largest and most important church in the country. I always love to visit this Cathedral when i get to the Prague. The cathedral is under the ownership of the Czech government as part of the Prague Castle complex. For me personally is one of most beautiful cathedral in Czech republic.
Agreed:)....
The Slapy Reservoir is on the river Vltava near the village of Slapy in the Central Bohemia Region. The dam is 60 meters high and 260 meters long. It has 3 Kaplan turbines with a capacity of 48 MW each. Below the dam begins one of the most beautiful trails along the river Vltava at all. The trail starts in the center of Třebenice and ends in the Štěchovice village and has a green color.
Another great shot from 'horticultor excursionist' from our visit to the Chataeu Valtice. Special and most expensive wines are produced from this chamber. One of the best wineries to be visited in the south Moravia.
Since we are talking about wines and or alcohols, let me dedicate this input to my good friend @derangedvisions☺
Czech is very famous for glass and glass products, one of the world famous brands is MOSER and you can actually visit their factory and see how all the beautiful glass is made. The factory is near Karlovy Vary (also a home to Becherovka) and you can actually even try how hard is it to make the glass. You can see on the photo how my friend tried to blow the hot glass. Pretty exciting factory tour!

This is the castle of Krivoklat, which is about 40 kilometers west of Prague approximately. Its exterior is not as striking as other castles in this country, but what is really impressive is inside, among the highlights is the main tower, 59 meters high, where hunting trophies are displayed and panoramic views of the great natural area surrounding the castle. And also King's Hall, of enormous dimensions.
Sadly I have not been there yet but it sure is on my list of places to visit within my homeland. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us.
The Old Town Square is of course the centrepiece for the city of Prague. This beautiful square never disappoints and certainly is the hub of the city. We were there on a sunny day. Lots of differences in height. Many different types of buildings.
Charles Bridge by night
Building must if you go to Prague, you can not miss it, and it's a bit of a drawback, because if this bridge is very impressive, it is also very, very busy on weekends.
If you want to make beautiful pictures, and if you have the choice, come rather on weekdays, late at night it's even more beautiful, the atmosphere is beautiful.
