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 @bittru:
Prague is an unusually beautiful and amazing city, which has many different sights - from ancient historical to modern modern. One of these modern attractions is the dancing house on the Vltava Embankment. A unique architectural monument in the spirit of deconstruction was built quite recently - in 1996. The building looks like two cylindrical towers, one of which bends and presses against the other, resembling a dancing couple. Prague residents call this house Ginger and Fred in honor of the famous dance couple Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. The dancing house very harmoniously fits into the environment, despite its unusual design and gives a certain charm to the embankment of the city.
I rewarded @bittru 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!

In Prague many shops are decorated specially for the Easter festivities. In this photo, can be seen a restaurant decorated with Easter eggs. The tradition of Easter eggs hanging on branches of tree is a tradition mainly in Central and Northern Europe.
This photo was taken near the water mill in Malá Strana.
Public park with a row of majestic willow trees in the center of Karlovy Vary, a famous spa town situated in western Bohemia, Czech Republic, on the confluence of the rivers Ohře and Teplá, approximately 130 km (80 mi) west of Prague.
This modern theater building from the 1980s is still one of the most talked-about buildings in Prague. Its characteristic form, designed by Stanislav Libenský and constructed from more than four thousand blown glass blocks, drastically changed the neo-Renaissance appearance of the street. It’s part of the National Theatre and the home of the Laterna Magica and other original projects.
New ceremonial hall at the Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague
This building of the Jewish funeral brotherhood replaced the older building in 1903. It was built in Neo-Romanesque style. Here the dead were preparing for the grave, and the survivors were ritually cleaned.
The building served its original purpose for only 20 years. Then it was handed over to the Jewish Museum in Prague. There has been a permanent exhibition about Jewish funeral since then.
John Lennon Wall
It is not the wall itself that is important but the history behind it. There we are imbued with the freedom and independence that young people aspired to at that time against communism. It was an inner feeling of luck for those of us who have not lived on communist domination.
The old town is simply an eye-catcher in so many different ways. The houses, the old crafts, the shops, the people. All this fits together wonderfully. Look up in the city every now and then and look at the houses. There is a lot to discover / photograph.
World Heritage City Cesky Krumlov. The historical area surrounding the castle is surrounded by a large number of restaurants, cute grocery stores, and galleries surrounding the central square, and the view from the tower of the castle is a great view of the trout eaten at the restaurant facing the square next time I would like to stay here.
Good day to all. The original building, different from the general architectural appearance of Prague. The history of creation and what it symbolizes will not be expounded, Just look at and be surprised. I, personally, was surprised by the architectural design. I like it. Have a nice rest
The monastery is one of the oldest in the Czech Republic. Twenty-five years from now will mark the ninth anniversary. The building complex was rebuilt several times after fire and attacks. Now the monastery looks very elegant and beautiful.
Sedlec Ossuary
The"church of skeletons" is an hour drive from Prague. From the outside, the church doesn't seem like much but inside is a different story. Filled with the skeletons 60,000 people it really is an amazing one of a kind attraction. It's small, you can spend 30 min and get there early, crowds tend to build up quickly.
