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 @asuat:
Great beer and amazing views. Tucked away in Letna Park is the Letna Beer Garden. The benches overlook the Vltava and give you the best view of the city. Beer is cheap, the food is tasty. Even during July the beer garden isn't over run with people, so it's a nice place to relax and have a catch up!
I rewarded @asuat entry with some extra upvote. Feel free to visit his blog and check out some of his other entries.
Thank you for your submissions. Have a great day and keep on Steeming!

Quite often featured Petrov in Brno is as stunning as it gets. What I like on this picture is the contrast it has compared to the other regular buildings which surround it. It makes it look even more specia :)
The panoramic view I show you today, I took it from the Visehrad castle in Prague in August. On the metal sculpture the bridges visible in succession on the Vltava are represented. Beautiful view.
Another creation of David the Black is black babies or baby dolls. He placed them on the Zizkov television tower (Zizkovsky vysilac).
In the beginning it is difficult to understand what kind of attitude towards them. But from many points of Prague one can see the tower and climbing baby dolls. The tower was built from 1985 to 1992. It so happened that the residents of the city did not like it at all. It was aggravated by the fact that its construction was carried out near the Jewish cemetery. The townspeople believed that this structure spoils the view of the whole of Prague, and the radiation is generally harmful to health. Years passed, disputes and grievances subsided. The height of the tower is about 216 meters, which is considered the highest structure not only in the city, but also in the whole of the Czech Republic. It is visible from all over Prague. It is also worth noting that it combines a meteorological station and a cellular tower.
In 2000, David Chernyi got the idea of planting dozens of huge black baby dolls on the tower, as if “crawling” along its sheer supports. Some of them climbed up, and some slid down. David put a somewhat philosophical concept into his creation. As soon as you think that you have achieved everything, you begin your fall down.
Lom velka amerika
great please, we took a hive around the canyon, like many other people, no one bothered us for trespassing. We have seen some mine workers dumping stones close to us and they had also no problem with us looking at beautiful views.
In the foreground the column of the Holy Trinity, which was built by the Prague burghers to thank for the end of the plague in 1715. Next, we can see the Jesuit's Professional House from the 2nd half of the 17th century. There lived the most important Jesuit scholars and thinkers of their time. Finally, there is the church of St. Nicholas. This is probably the largest, most famous and most significant Baroque monument in Prague. And cars everywhere...
Cesky Krumlov is a beautiful historic city, with a very nice center and a beautiful castle. If you are in the area, you should really visit this town! Nice restaurants, nice shops, nice location. You are guaranteed to have a nice day.
St. Vitus Cathedral
You have to take a break and time to see the interiors, the stained glass windows inside But there is more history on the outside and I recommend taking guidance for this, as each corner has its history and its legend is very entertaining when you go with someone who knows the architecture and dates of everything that was done to finish it.
Prague Castle
Everywhere you look in Prague you see this castle. It really is something! At night it is lit up and looks a little like Disneyland, but you know it is the real deal! Quick trivia - the Castle was not always lit, the Rolling Stones paid to add spot lights around the castle after they played a concert in Prague, because they thought the castle was so beautiful.

I grew up & sometimes still live directly at the Austrian / Czech borderline — before there had been ˋopen boarders´ it was utterly forbidden to trespass into the neighboring country without rigid official controls ~ but nowadays as citizen of the EU a passport carried with oneself is enough for carefree visits and strolls ~ ✨ ~
The above frosty impression however — taken in ˋČeské Velenice´ in the deep south of Bohemia — could so much be the one of a fugitive running from law that it promptly inspired me to write this specific entry...! I hope same fictive fugitive will never be me - and if so after all a Happy Ending & golden future is not too far away likewise :)
Sedlec Ossuary
To visit at least once in life. It is a charnel house inside the Sedlec cemetery. Going down the stairs you can see decorations made with human bones, as well as chandeliers and even the date of construction. There is free parking nearby and there is the possibility of making tickets combined with other attractions.
