Hello fellow Steemians,

I hope you are all having a great weekend. As usually, feel free to submit your personal images from your travels to Prague and other locations in the Czech Republic in the comment section below.

Don’t forget to add a short background story for your entry with at least 30 words. I will then go through your submissions and upvote those that meet the requirements. Let me just remind you one more time that only personal images will be accepted in the challenge.

However, I am really happy to inform you that the situation has got much better lately as the number of stolen images submitted in the challenge has been decreasing significantly in the recent days and weeks. Fighting plagiarism and other types of unfair behavior should be one of our priorities here on Steemit as it is crucial for healthy development and growth of the platform.

Thank you so much for your cooperation. Have a great day and keep on Steeming!

Prague has beautiful nature and scenic features.

Photo of the Neo Renaissance style building that holds the Smetana Museum. Formerly this building housed the Prague Water Company. It can be seen it is on the shores of the Vltava river and next from the Charles Bridge, form where this photo was taken. At the background these is the building of the National Theater.

This is me at the Kutna Hora train station (photo taken by my wife Riana). If you ever get to stay in Prague for a number of days, do yourself a favour and do a day trip to Kutna Hora. Not only is it the home of the famous bone church, but the silver mine and Lego museum are fun to visit and the small town architecture fairly awesome!

Silhoutte of the Castle Bezdez, a beautiful Gothic castle located in Northern Czech Republic, just outside the Macha Lake, a popular holiday resort. Founded in the 13th century, the castle is shrouded in numerous myths and legends. I took this shot in May 2015.

This photo was taken inside Main Post Office in Prague (Jindřišská str. 14). It's a Neo-Renaissance building built between 1871-1874. Inside the building it is prohibited to take photos. In the background, you can see two guards in white shirts that look at me. In a few seconds they will come up to me and forbid taking pictures.

Old castle entrance gate. Castle guards standing at this entrance. Nice to see that. Something simbolic for visitors to see. We can enter the first couryard from here. We can see the whole Prague from the castle walkway on the south side. Parliament.jpeg

Prague city, old town district. Prašná brána tower. The entrance for Czech kings. Completed in 1475 but it started in 11th century.
If you want to visit you can find this place at nám. Republiky 5, 110 00 Staré Město, Češka Ccc-11.jpeg


The city of Kutna Hora. From Prague to Kutna, the mountains are only 66 kilometers away, you can get there by train. The city has gained worldwide fame due to silver reserves, found here in the 13th century. Silver mines have caused the formation of the first mountain villages, which then merged into one city.

Kutná Hora

An amazing church view on a cold November day in Prague, I did adore this city and wanna visit again when I get the chance :)
