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 @rockmen:
Colourful, John Lennon Wall. A nice place to head to (5 min walk from Charles Bridge) and it's certainly a colourful display. The wall has been resprayed a number of times, but it's eclectic to look at and read the graffiti. The atmosphere was good here and it helped that the sun was shining which made everything look even brighter. There is usually a busker singing (believe it or not!) John Lennon songs at the wall. I felt very sorry for the busker whilst we were there, he was very patient and understanding whilst having endless 'selfie sticks' shoved in his face, people videoing him and people posing repeatedly either in front or at the side of him. Give the poor guy some space (or at least chuck a few CZK in his guitar case!). Nice place and well worth walking past to say that you've seen it!
I rewarded @rockmen 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!

On Sunday it was a beautiful weather for making a trip. The Cairn of Peace Memorial near Prace is the first monument of its type in Europe built in 1910 on the place where Napoleon Bonaparte won The battle of three Emperors near Austerlitz in 1805. Inside of the Cairn there is a chapel and ossarium with skeletons of soldiers (no matter what army). You can try a special acoustics of the place. When you whisper in one corner the receiver will hear you in the opposite corner.
View of a busy street in the Prague neighborhood of Liben as seen and captured from a bridge, with some sinister clouds in the background. I took this shot while enjoying my walk to the nearby Upper Pond in summer a few years ago.
The Brno Dam is a hydraulic structure on the Svratka River. These days, the body of water around it is a favourite getaway spot for sport, relaxation, and recreation. This area is also known by the nickname Prýgl.
Recently, I visited an exhibition at the Dancing House in Prague. The exhibition took us to the times of real socialism, to the 1980s.
The following photo is a mobile phone shot from the viewpoint of the Dancing House in the direction of Hradčany.
Nedávno jsem se ženuškou navštívil výstavu v Tančícím domě v Praze. Výstava nás zavedla do dob reálného socialismu, do osmdesátých let minulého století.
Následující fotka je záběr z mobilního telefonu z vyhlídky Tančícího domu směr Hradčany.
Cesky Krumlov
Diamond hidden. The map does not attract attention. Nor is it internationally known for a product characteristic. In the South of Europe we grow up and study without even hearing it. And yet a visit - even brief - is enough to take its place in our memory and heart into the list of the most beautiful places that have seen our eyes in this world.
The Church of the Mother of God before Tyn has been the main church in the Old Town of Prague since the 14th Century. It is a gothic masterpiece. The architecture and decoration are stunning examples of their type. Certainly not to everyone’s taste but seeing it helps to set history in a very different context. Anyone who studied the reformation would be interested to see this church.
Former religious pilgrimage... Výstaviště, Prague
From the end of the 16th century in Prague 24.2. pilgrimage was held to the church of St. Mattheus. Gradually, only folk festivity remained from it.
The event moved from the church to the "Výstaviště" (Exhibition Grounds). The event stretched for several months. Up to a million people visit it every year.
It is the biggest such event in the Czech Republic.
a place to be seen and impressive. john lennon wall is on the left. already a walk through the alley of admiration when you see a structure that you can see how well graffiti study you understand. I think we should be encouraged to make graffiti in our country. In the meantime, when you know, you'll see the unknown rifles, locks everywhere, hanging the keys to the arms of the arm. if you go take a key. In the meantime, the other picture of the opusen men and women in the future under the snuff is not true to the lennon wall.
The North-Czech Opera and Ballet Theater was founded in Usti nad Labem in 1909, and the building was designed by the architect Alexander Graf. During the First World War, the theater was neglected, but in 1919 the theater resumed its activities.
During the Second World War, the theater building miraculously survived, and soon the theater continued its activities. In 1967, the premises and the facade of the theater were reconstructed according to the design of the architect A. Berger. In the late 80s of the twentieth century, a major overhaul of the interior and exterior was carried out - the walls were decorated with works of art by modern artists, new equipment, video equipment and lighting were installed, and the ventilation and air conditioning systems were replaced.
In 2004, the theater received its official modern name - the North-Czech Opera and Ballet Theater. Today's team consists of several dozen singers from around the world, including from Russia and China. The repertoire of the theater - operetta, ballet, musicals, operas, musical dramatic works.
