Hello fellow Steemians!
I am here with another round of my 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. I host this photo challenge twice a week - on Tuesday and Friday.
You can submit your entries in the current round from now until Tuesday, 6 AM (CET). Please, 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.
The best 15 entries of the round will be rewarded with my upvote. I will also pick the absolute winner of the round from these 15 photos and reward him with an extra upvote on one of his recent posts published on the Steem blockchain. The winning photo will be also featured as the cover image for the next round of the photo challenge to give the author some more exposure and publicity.
There were many great entries submitted in the last round of the Prague/Czech Republic Photo Challenge and I had a hard time picking the absolute winner. After a deliberate consideration, however, I decided to choose the following entry by @borran:
This is the southern stained-glass window above the chancel in St. Vitus Cathedral. It's designed by Max Švabinský and was installed in 1938. When the sun shines through the windows, the colors are indeed breathtaking!
Congratulations, @borran! It is my pleasure to upvote one of your recent posts.
Thank you for your submissions everyone. Have a great day and keep on Steeming!
Please feel free to check out some of my other recent posts.

Lesser Town Bridge Towers (in Czech: Malostranské mostecké věže), two stylistically different towers, connected by a gate, form the entrance to the Lesser Town from the Charles Bridge. The smaller tower is Romanesque, dating from the 12th century; its current Renaissance appearance dates to 1591. The taller Late Gothic tower, from 1464, is based on the architecture of Parléř's Old Town Bridge Tower.
Chapel of Our Lady with a bell tower, Žebrákov, South Bohemia
Every real city had to have a church. And every village at least a chapel ... To make other villages envious.
An important part of life was the sound of the bell. Poor people did not wear watches, nor did richer people wear watches on the field. How many hours did they just say the bell or the sun.
View from Petrov from obelisk to one of the main streets of Brno - Husova street. Petrov is a place in the center of town with cathedral, where is a beautiful view on Brno. It is a place where you can sit on wall or in park and watch the city.
Great atmo!!;)
At the entrance to Charles Bridge we meet a gothic structure. This is the Old Town Bridge Tower. At the present time, everyone can climb to the tower and admire the beautiful view of the Charles Bridge and Prague Castle. Obviously, the tower has a dual purpose. The tower was a fortress defensive structure, but also triumphal.
Originally taken for my Actifit report, this photo is the most beautiful scenery I had the honour to observe when on the bike. It is the village of Paršovice from Rakov's side. I distribute newspapers here and there.
The monument to Witezslaw Glackow was installed in Prague in 1881 and is located in the northern part of Charles Square, in front of the courthouse. The author of the monument was the famous Czech sculptor Bohuslav Schnirch.
The sculptor Bohuslav Shnirh placed a bronze bust of the poet on a semicircular base forming a memorial bench, on the sides of which are the figures of two sphinxes.
The monument was created in honor of the famous founder of Czech poetry, prose writer, playwright and publicist Witezslav Galek. He is considered one of the most important representatives of the school of poetry, in addition to Jan Neruda and Karolina Svetla.
The poet to whom the memorial was built was named Vítězslav Hálek in Czech. If you are an Eastern Slav, I understand the variant Hálek - Galek. But as you came to Glackow's name, I don't get it.
I agree with others. (Hálek was famous poet at the end of the 19th century. Today he is completely forgotten and no one reads him.)
Thanks for the correction. This is my bad english.))
Towers in Brno. M Palac built between 1994 and 1997 is 60 metres high and in its 16th highest floor is a restaurant with perfect view on Brno. AZ Tower was built between 2011 and 2013 and with its 111 metres is the highest building in the Czech Republic.
Vypadá to, že se ti sem nenahrála fotka ;)
