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 @swerdan:
Okay I hope this is allowed. The top picture isn't mine but it is in public domain. Today we have something that is a little different. Here is a comparison picture of Prague. The top picture is from a book printed in 1650. Czechia was called the "Kingdom of Bohemia" at the time. I'm not sure where the artist was sitting because Petrin wasn't there at the time but my picture is From Petrin Tower. I think it is cool that you can see see some of the important structures that were in Old town back in 1650. Any questions I'll answer to the best of my ability.

Czech Republic are not only historic towns or castles, but is also filled with a variety of hills and mountains. One of my most favorite hilly landscapes is the Central Bohemian Mountains. This small mountain range reaches only 837 meters above sea level, but the scenery there is so diverse that you can spend hier couple of weeks. Moreover, it is only 60 kilometers from Prague.
Grat shot as always worthy featuring as an entry to today's challenge. Tomas
Municipal House is a civic building that houses Smetana Hall in Prague. It is located on Náměstí Republiky next to the Powder Gate in the center of the city. Image taken in summer 2014.
Panoramic view of Ostrava - Vitkovice and the Beskydy Mountains in the background. Home to almost 300,000 people, Ostrava is the third largest city of the country. It used to be the Czech center of mining and heavy industry, which is also why it has one of the most polluted environments in the country as well as all Central Europe.
Photo of different buildings of Renaissance style, built on the waters of the Vltava river at Prague. The building on the right houses the Smetana museum, and its exterior is decorated with paintings. Those buildings are next to the Chales Bridge.
Today I have an entry from the Fairy Village in Vysočina. Do you want to live for one day in a house from your favorite fairy tale? Here you have the chance! The fairy-tale village serves guests primarily as accommodation facilities, so entry to fairy-tales during a tour is not possible. You can live for example as: Rumcajs, Snow White, Rákosníček, Budulínek or Karkulka.
Oh this is really cool!
Thanks, it is really amazing experience to be in this charming place! :)
The Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord, a Roman Catholic church in Prague's Vinohrady district. It was built between 1929 and 1932 and designed by the Slovene architect Jože Plečnik. It is considered one of the most significant Czech religious constructions of the 20th century. In the wide 42 m high tower wall is a huge, 7.5 m diameter glazed clock (the largest in the Czech Republic). Since 2010, the church has been ranked among national cultural monuments.
Thanks for the love. Im glad you liked my picture from yesterday. Before I went to Prague I checked out a few pictures on wiki to see if any would be cool and found the top one, but I forgot about it until after I went Petrin and realized I probably took the right picture.
I thought it was pretty cool.
Today I have a picture of Strahov Monastery. I only know that because I had to google it. It is an abbey founded in 1143 by Jindřich Zdík, Bishop John of Prague, and Vladislaus II, Duke of Bohemia. If I ever go back to Prague Im going to have to go inside of it. It looks beautiful.
That sure was a great entry so is this one. Thank you so much. Tomas
This is a beautiful view from the red hill, in Brno, from atop this hill you can see a wide view of the whole city, hiking on this hill is an unforgettable experience for all the wonders that you see. Czech Republic always with its views that you fall in love.
I am sharing a photo taken at the Old Town Square, I guess the most famous square in Prague, and also quite beautiful I must say. On the photo you can see Tyn Church in the background. In front of it you can see three house - the one in the middle is called House at the Stone Bell and it's been built in the 13th century!! Very interesting medieval house. Lastly, at the front is a statue of Jan Hus.
