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:
Quiet and deserted streets, which attract to themselves as a magnet in each of the visits to Prague.
As it usually happens in the old districts of Prague, almost all buildings have their own name, which in former times, when there was no numbering of houses, served as the address of a house. And, since there was not a rich people living here, there is a desire to get rich in these names. But photos, of course, can hardly convey the atmosphere and energy of this place, so desolate and attractive, but here it is incredibly cozy.

This is a view of Svornosti Square in Český Krumlov. Its footprint originates in the middle ages, with its square design and arcades running around the perimeter. Even though the façades have undergone inevitable changes over the centuries, their transformation was halted early enough (or their restoration have been conducted with respect of the past) so that the historical character of the ensemble has been preserved.
.
In the middle of the square is the ubiquitous early 18th century “plague column” and a stone fountain built in 1843.
It had been raining off and on all day, hence the ominous skies. The weather obviously didn’t deter the tourists, but now it is late afternoon and the town prepares to wind down for the night.
That is a different image then the ones I get from Cesky Krumlov most of the time. Well worth featuring. Thank you for your great entry. Tomas
Thank you very much for featuring this photograph on your post today. That view with its soft colors, mottled sky and textured paving would make a really nice watercolor.
Keep well, and 'til next time :)
View of the Stribrne Jezero (the Silver Lake) coloquially known as "Sadrak". It is a former gypsum quarry that got flooded and has been serving as a recreation spot for wild swimming for decades. It is located on the outskirts of the Silesian city of Opava. The photo was taken 2 hours ago :)
It was great, we had a guide who was interested in telling us about life in Prague is not only history and monuments. This is a great way to see the city from a different angle and enjoy a relaxed afternoon tea. We recommend it if your time is limited and you want to relax, but keep doing something.
In 1980, Wenceslas Square in Prague became a pedestrian zone. The trams stopped here. These are the last two to serve over the summer. As a stylish restaurant.
Yes, the line that ran here was number 11. (The cars did not have a door, and it was possible for them to jump out while driving ...)
Táborská Gate is located in the southeastern part of Vyšehrad. It was built in the years 1655-56 as part of the fortified fortification in front of Leopold's space-saving gateway to Pankrác. Not too elegant, purely purpose-built, late Renaissance building has 4 springs on the floor. At the pillars of the passage there are visible guiding grooves of the trap gate, which the gate was originally equipped with.
First of all, congrats to the winner @magnata ! The photo really looks effortless and cozy but beautiful at the same time. So, here is mine:
This is my photo from a place that I was really shocked and impressed. Here is the Sedlec Ossuary, a Catholic chapel in Kutná Hora. Inside of this church is made by human bones! It was an amazing feeling to see that. Sounds scary but I felt such a relief and peace in there.
Prague Metro
When we were visiting Prague we used Prague Metro all the time. It's a great way to get around town very fast. Some of the stations are old and outdated, but charming on the other way. I really liked the decor on the walls and ceilings.
Yep, the underground system is the best way to get around Prague.....
The view of Novy Svet (New World), Prague's quarter, located near Prague castle. It's quiet quarter, where nowadays artists and writers live with their families in houses that appear to be untouched since the 18th century.
I have limited time to spend in Czech republic as i am left with few days to complete my Erasmus programme. I think i am gonna miss this contest than anything; that not withstanding, i will make more shots so i can still be relevant even when i leave. A special gratitude and felicitations to @czechglobalhosts you have indeed marketed your country. More power to your elbow💪🏿
A shot from the beautiful Brno city👌
Thanks ever so much and enjoy the rest of your stay! Good luck to you.
Malá Strana (the small city) is one of the oldest and most historical districts of Prague. The greatest attraction of Malá Strana is its magnificent state of preservation, the war passed without a trace and the palaces and old houses remain unchanged for centuries. All a city beauty that all tourists appreciate a lot.
What a tremendous click!
