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 @peroo:
It has value as a symbol of freedom and peace more than from an artistic point of view. In fact it is a very simple wall on which anyone can leave their trail. Dating back to the time of John Lennon's death, it became a symbol and was often discredited by the communist regime, which, however, failed to prevent its existence.

Autumn view from the ruins of the Oltářík Castle, located in the Central Bohemian Mountains. This castle is ideal for watching sunrises and sunsets as it is seen east and west. Yesterday I had a few minutes to get to the top in time, but as you can see it did.
Simply fantastic! I am glad you did make to the top on time. We sure have a great entry for today's contest. Tomas
As you can see, the fall definitely took control over the Czech Republic :) I clicked this shot while mushroom hunting in forests above the tiny Silesian village of Radun just yesterday. The fall comes with some beautiful colors here in Central Europe.
Wow..ta je mega! Btw "mushroom hunting" je najsmiesnejsie anglicke slovicko IMO :D
View of the Church of the Holy Trinity - a majestic late Gothic church and an architectural landmark of the little Silesian village of Radun. Home to just some 1,000 people, Radun is located 5 kilometers outside of the city of Opava.
Entrance to the fifth courtyard. Sovinec is a castle situated on a cone-shaped hill located in the south-west parts of the Resov hilly region of Bruntal district, in North Moravia, Czech republic. Tue oldiest part comes from 14th century.
This is one of the most precious and beautiful Baroque gardens in Prague. It is a terraced Baroque garden in the Italian style and it did not undergo any significant changes during the centuries. This garden is the most romantic place in Prague, particularly for the honeymooners and weddings. :)
Cesky Krumlov is situated in the southern part of the Czech Republic, about 145 km (approximately 3 hours by car) from Prague to the south of Austria, about 20 km later in Austria, and a castle built in the 13th century on the site where the Vltava (Moldau) It is a town centering on. The town where the beautiful medieval townscape was left intact was registered as a World Cultural Heritage and it became known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. While looking at the old town where the time had stopped in the Middle Ages, go through a narrow alley and climb ascending a slope and there was Cesky Krumlov Castle there. The view overlooking the whole town from the castle rising above the cliffs is the best. It is pleasant to stroll while going shops in alleys.
Cesky Krumlov
The scenery of the whole town was very nice with the pretty city streets that seemed to get lost in the fairy tale world! ! ! Although the castle seems plain at first glance, there are lots of interesting mural paintings as it enters inside, and it was magnificent. You can enjoy the relaxed and calm atmosphere even at sightseeing spots.
This image dates back to the first day of vacation in Prague and at the first glance at the Old Town Square. A pity that the astronomical clock was still under renovation because it would give the view that extra touch.
Our second site of the day in Kutna Hora was Sedlec Ossuary, the church of bones. There's a lot of history to this place and best researched on your own than me butchering it for you. One fact I know I won't mess up or forget is that there are over 60,000 human remains in this church.
We were a week ago in beautiful Prague and also visited the Charles Bridge. It is a 14th century, historically important bridge over the Vltava river in Prague, which connects the old town with the Lesser Town. It is one of the oldest surviving stone bridges in Europe and one of the city's landmarks. It is decorated with many impressive old figures and is really one of the most beautiful bridges that I have visited so far. Especially at sunset you can take very nice photos of the city and the Vltava River from there. But you should avoid the rush hour, because it can be very crowded.
