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 @impi:
St. Barbara's Church. A beautiful majestic building, visible from anywhere in the town of Kutná Hora. Barbara is the patroness of miners. The magnificence and power you realize when you move closer to the cathedral with each step! An amazing creation of the Middle Ages! The road leads to the cathedral with voplaschennymi images of legends and legends in the form of figurines, bas-reliefs, flowers. The nght view of the surroundings is mesmerizing! Be sure to visit the Cathedral! Get a lot of fun and overwhelming positive emotions!

The Bolt Tower. This is what it looks like when you build a cafe on top of an old blast furnace from a decommissioned steel plant. The glass building is the cafe. Named after a regular visitor to the city of Ostrava, Usain Bolt, the world's fastest human. You can even find his signature at the top of the cafe.
Not that I am very fond of that whole area but it is somehow becoming an important landmark of that region. I might actually have to go and get a coffee in The Bolt Tower myself next time in town. This sure will be something different as the main post for today's contest. Have a great day. Tomas
It's a super cool experience and the views are awesome. I'll show you some of them in future posts.Thanks for the feature.
The Holy Trinity Collumn, one of the most dominant landmarks of the Upper Square in Olomouc. Located on the Morava River, Olomouc is the ecclesiastical metropolis and historical capital city of Moravia. Today, it is the administrative centre of the Olomouc Region and the sixth largest city in the Czech Republic.
Cesky Krumlov
The most stunning small city - the old town crosses several bends of the river, with beautiful views, and a traffic free, peaceful and authentic setting. Definitely one of the most attractive places in Europe.
The Charles Bridge is one of the "must-see" sights of Prague, and for good reason. It's an old and attractive bridge with cool towers at each end and it provides beautiful views of all of Prague. As you walk along it, you'll be flanked on both sides by the many statues that line the bridge, as well as the various street performers, artists, and vendors that try to make their living there.
The city hall of the old city must be absolutely visited. Unfortunately the clock tower is under restoration, but this does not detract from the beauty of the place. Easy to reach by public transport or on foot from any point in Prague 1 (just a simple map to be able to orientate easily). The area is full of places to stop and eat or drink something
Inside of St. Vitus Cathedral
The exterior Gothic architecture is stunning! with soaring spires, diamond-patterned roof, arched doorways and windows, mosaics depicting the Last Judgement, gargoyles hanging off the corners--the photo opportunities are endless, then you enter the interior and the stained glass windows literally take your breath away!
A wide view of down town Prague from Petrin Park. The hill provides an excellent vista towards the river and the old parts of the city. There is even a watch tower if one would like to get higher still. Apart from the view it could give you, the park is a very nice place to walk across, with rose gardens, a mirror maze, historical monuments, orchards and of course the alleys to connect all of those.
I was in Prague in August and unfortunately the astronomical clock tower was still under renovation. So, I took this photo of the upper part of the tower coming out of the Church of St. Nicholas, located on the Old Town Square.
The Powder Tower
Monumental Gothic Tower, one of the original city gates, separates the Old Town from New Town. If you want to see the views from the top, is a walk up of 186 stairs! The Tower is impressive! In the 17th century was used as a storage for gun powder, that is where the Powder Tower name comes from.
Enjoy looking from the street up to it, or wear sneakers to walk up and see the city’s views!!
Amusing, eccentric political statement in the heart of the city
David Czerny is a personal favorite. Stop by and have a quick look at one of his pieces just outside the Kafka museum. Look closely to see what the men are pissing on! Funny and a bit of exhilarating piece of art. You will find it in the courtyard of the Kafka Museum building, very close to Charles Bridge on the side opposite the Old Town Square.
