Hello fellow Steemians,
I hope you are all having a great start to the new week! :) 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 @liltammy:
The Malá Strana Bridge Tower is a gothic monument located in Prague. It is serves as the entrance to Malá Strana from the Charles Bridge. It was built in the late 14th century, during the rule of the Emperor Charles IV.

The view of Prague taken from Legie Bridge. On this photo you can see some interesting buildings. For example, Bedrich Smetana Museum (housed in the neo-Renaissance building of the former Old Town Waterworks), Old Town Water Tower, Karlovy Lazne Club (a nightclub housed in a building dating from the 14th century. The club has five floors, with each floor playing a different style of music. It is the largest club in Prague, and claims to be the largest nightclub complex in Central Europe.)
Great shot from a very different perspective. Your image will get featured as an entry in today's edition. Have a great day. Tomas
I took this unusual panoramic view of Prague from outdoor bobsled ride. Located in Prague-Prosek, it is the only bobsled run in the city. I tried this attraction several times and it was a blast!
I can especially recommend this place to families with children.
Thank you so much Tomas for featuring my image today! Means a lot to me. Ďakujem moc :)
Very well deserved! Jen tak dale:)....
I took this photo when I was walking up the hill to the Castle in Prague. I like the details in this stair with the Baroque sculpture of the saint in the corner and the limit line of the stairs along the diagonal of the image, dividing the image in two parts.
Yesterday I shared a photo of Prague from the observation platform of the Strahov Monastery, and today a photo of the monastery itself.
Strahov Monastery was founded in 1140-1143 by Vladislav II on the initiative of the Olomouc bishop Jindřich Zdik. The name of the monastery has its roots from the word "guard", since it was in this place that the outpost was guarding the approaches to the Prague Hill.
A modern Baroque-style monastery was adopted in the middle of the 18th century. It was under the leadership of Italian architect A. Lurago.
That makes a great series:)... Thank you for your participation.
Every time I look at this photo, I want to go back to this wonderful place again and again - Krumlov. To re-feel his magic and see the beauty of this place. Especially it feels in the spring when nature wakes up, and in the sky such wonderful clouds above castle and the Vltava river.

I hope someday I will again be able to come to Krumlov with my family to show them this wonderful place. I'd like to tell them story of Krumlov, take photos of the places of interest and of course share with you our fresh family photos from this wonderful place here!
Thank you so much for your entry! Have a great day!
Prague has a lot of cool statues. This one is on the river near The Chemistry Gallery. There are two of them, one on each side of the road.
It was made by Jan Štursa, a Czech sculptor, one of founders of modern Czech sculpture. Whose nephew Jiri Štursa was the architect of Stalin's Monument at the site that the metronome now stands. Which I find to be a fascinating story.
Today I have prepared another photo from Obri Sud Javornik. This time from opposite site. The second site is made of glass as you could see from my previous photo. Inside there is a restaurant and you can taste there typical Czech cousine.
Hmm, that is very interesting! Thank you for sharing.
The Ruins of the Orphan Castle are one of the many castles situated on the peaks of the Pálava Hills. The castle was built in the 13th century and since 1590 it is deserted. It is located a short distance from the village of Klentnice from where you can walk along the red trail.
That is once again spectacular image!
The National Theatre with a No 6 tram rolling past. Many years ago, I had a friend (Klara) who was a ballerina with the National Ballet. To see her dance in Swan Lake, I and her best friend snuck in a back door, said hello to her before the performance began near the dressing rooms, then entered the auditorium by a back door, and watched the whole ballet from one of the executive boxes - all for free... Those were the days in Prague when you could get away with virtually anything, and nobody cared :)
For today’s entry I have something special. Special view from a lookout tower, located between Zajeci, Pritluky and Rakvice villages. It was freezing, the cold wind was blowing like crazy, but we made it to the top and took a couple of pictures. This is one of them. I think that the view is breathtaking.
Can't wait for summer! Heading there for sure:).....
