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 @nenio:
The Powder Gate, one of the beautiful gothic towers of Prague, so characteristic of the city. It separates the Old Town from the New Town. Its particular name due to the fact it was used to store gunpowder in the 17th century.

ColorChallenge - Purple Sunday - @axeman in 7 World's Continents Photo Challenge!
Location: Václav Havel Square - The National Theatre Piazzetta, Prague. The National Theatre is one of the symbols of Czech national identity and cultural heritage. We can see there many exhibitions and there is another one called Narození 1918 - Tváře století. I had to stop and look at the exhibition during yesterday night walk in the centre of Prague.
Somewhat spooky b&w shot of Vysehrad I took in winter a few years ago. Located on the right bank of the Vltava River, Vysehrad is a historic fort built as early as in the 10th century. The complex also includes the Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul and the Vysehrad Cemetery.
Schwarzenberg Palace, back side, Hradčany, Prague
The palace was built between 1545 and 1547. Its plaster was decorated with a technique of sgraffiti.
Of course it was later rebuilt in Baroque style. The plaster has been overcoated. But in 1871 a major reconstruction took place, which returned the palace to its original form.
This construction started a neo-Renaissance wave in Bohemia. You will see a similar facade in many Prague buildings from the end of the 19th century. So here you can see their pattern.
Hi, Tomas and Steemit friends.
This picture I took last summer in Jihlava - historic city in Bohemia-Moravian Highlands. Here you can find a lot of old buildings and one of the best preservered city fortery. Part of the fortery is also the Gate of Holy Lady from the 13th century, rebuilt in 1551 after the major fire.
