I am really happy to see more and more great photos being submitted to this challenge every day. Yesterday was no exception, we had several awesome entries featured in the photo challenge, including this interesting black and white image taken by our regular contributor @narchuk with the following description:
There are always a lot of birds on the banks of the Vltava River. They are absolutely not afraid of people and they are happy to come. In order to see them, it is enough to descend to the water near the Charles Bridge.
Thank you for your submissions. Have a great day and keep on Steeming!

The Charles Bridge is very famous for its statues of saints. The photo shows the silhouette of the Statue of St. Joseph. It depicts St. Joseph leading a small Jesus. The original statue is of early XVIII century. In the background of the image there is a clock tower.
Babies at Prague TV Tower
Well, if you are wondering what is up with this photo — I actually took it at the TV tower in Prague! Built in the end of the communist era, it features some quite unique architecture, but the true highlight are the baby sculptures installed by Czech artist David Černý.

From time to time our families came to visit us in Prague. These cool guys are children of my sister posing in front of National Museum on Wenceslas Square. They didn´care about sights to much, but we had a blast!
Radun Chateau, a Renaissance chateau located a few kilometers outside Opava, Silesia, Czech Republic. The chateau is surrounded with a large landscape park in the English style. Some parts of the chateau´s interiors are open to public for a small fee. Photo taken in May 2015.
The Evangelical Church of Czech Brethern in Prague's Braník district (Modřanská str. 1821/118 ) is situated in a former limestone quarry near the natural monument of Branik Rocks. It's wooden building and was built after the Second World War as a temporary prayer house according to the architect Pavel Bareš's project. The construction of the church took place between September 1947 and April 1948. It was officially opened on 9 May 1948.
The Petrin Lookout Tower
A 63.5m tall steel-framework tower in Prague, that was build in 1891. It strongly resembles the Eiffel Tower and it was used as a transmission tower as well as an observation tower. It offers amazing 360 views of Prague, with countryside views, river views, and major Prague's landmarks visible from Petrin tower.
If you are ever in Prague, I would strongly recommend this!
Nothing too specially today, just a pretty picture taken from the Charles bridge looking towards Prague 7. You can see the metronome at the top right. Also some of the 3.7 billion Swans that live in prague. I counted them to make sure.
Also, Tomas you missed both my pictures yesterday, I think I possibly posted them after you did your rounds, yesterday was a long day for me. Hope you like them.

Buckingham Palace
While in Prague, I had the privilege of attending one of the Sparta football games. I'm not sure how they make any money to keep the league going with how cheap the tickets and beer was. The time had was a great as our seats. Would love to watch another game if I find myself back in Prague. This is probably one of my favorite pictures I've captured with this camera.
Colorful Houses of Prague - Prague is city for all. You will find a blend of the olden architecture with the new modern era. Just a little ahead from the Dancing House, these pretty and colorful buildings caught my attention. You can see each of this house has a distinct yet lovely pastel color.
In the Prague Castle you will also find
The Basilica of St. George or George - the oldest building of the Prague Castle from the surviving. The church became the site of the baptism of the first Christian Czech princes. Later, the basilica was the last resting place for its founder, Prince Vratislav.
