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 @softa:
Today, we will look again at Prague and specifically on Radnické schody. These stairs connect the streets Ke Hradu and Loretánská. They are about 100 meters long, have 127 steps and overcome a 30 meter elevation. At the bottom there are two Baroque sculptures. The statue of St. Josef with Jesus and left statue of St. Jana Nepomucký

This street photo by softa is really amazing...prague is really wonderful and most beautiful city in the central europe. It is regarded by many as one of Europe's most charming, colorful and beautiful cities, Prague has become the most popular travel destination in Central Europe. Millions of tourists visit the city every year. I will also definitely visit prague on day.
The Leaning Church of St. Peter of Alcantara
The ground near Karviná where this church stands has sunk by 37 meters in just a few decades due to the collapse of mine tunnels underground. Nowadays, the church leans almost as much as the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa, and it has become a unique tourist attraction.
That is pretty spectacular story and an amazing image well worth featuring in today's edition.
After introducing you to "The Spy" sculpture, I am here with another iconic landmark of the Lower Square in Opava. This is the Church of St. Adalbert (Vojtech in the Czech Language), a majestic Baroque church built at the end of the 17th century. Home to the Silesian repositary, the church has a status of the national cultural landmark.
Klínovec is the highest mountain in the Ore Mountains with a height of 1244 meters above sea level. At the top is a 24 meter high stone lookout tower and a closed hotel. There is also a 80 meter high TV transmitter. In the winter months the peak is used by skiers who use the cable car from Jáchymov.
This picture was taken during a surprise trip to Prague, that I have organised for my wife :) On the picture you can see the Prague Town Hall (on the left in the foreground) and Gothic Church of Our Lady before Tyn in the background!
It’s really sweet to hear the story behind the scene! Thanks for your sharing! Love the old town in Prague!
Magical is the one word I can describe the old town in Prague. It's like time has barely had any effect on the town and the minimalist city center serves as a door to the old times of the city. especially the night view in old town alwayz amazing & tremandous look.
Velký Pařezitý rybník, Zacharias of Hradec founded this pond in 1565. The pond has already been used as a drinking water source for Telč since its inception. The water from the pond was led by a sink from the Jihlava basin to the Telčský brook in the Dyje basin. At present the pond is used for extensive fish farming and still serves as a backup source of drinking water for the city of Telč.
Being in Prague, without enjoying an evening opera in this historic establishment would be a shame ... The building is grand on the outside, and just as majestic on the inside.
One of the most beautiful theater that can exist. The shows are always of a very high level, the acoustics are exceptional. The particular charm and the beauty of the place deserve a visit.
Benedictine monastery "In Emmaus", Vyšehradská, New Town, Prague 2
The monastery was built after 1347, still rebuilt. Slavic and Baltic languages were grown here. Emperor Charles intended to send missionaries from here further to the East. Charles hoped to unite Eastern and Western Christians ... With the Emperor's death, the plan was over.
A quick shot from the Chateau Valtice; situated here in Valtice, a South Moravian town. Last year, an extension of the cellar was built and this side is hired by a group for programs. It is 100% built of bricks and cement which keeps a very constant cool temperature. The atmosphere is serene inside. The dim light adds some harmony.
To the owners, it is very profitable for them the hire out the place and sell the wines at higher prices.
