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 @liltammy:
View of the St. Lawrence Church (Kostel svatého Vavřince in the Czech language) - a picturesque late Baroque church found in the South Moravian town of Hodonin. Built between 1780 and 1786, the church is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.

Today I have a classic look for you from Kutna Hora. The photo is St. Barbara's Church and the Jesuit College during the Blue Hour. Many monuments in the city center are listed on the UNESCO list.
It's been a while since we had such an amazing shot in the contest. Well worth featuring in today's contest. Well done.
Beauty of the National Museum in Prague at night as seen and captured from the upper part of the Wenceslas Square. Founded as early as in 1818, the National Museum in Prague is one of the oldest and most important museums in the country as well as all Central Europe.
Tourists passing on the Legion Bridge (Most Legii in the Czech language) - one of the most beautiful and important bridges spanning the Vltava River in Prague. Built between 1898 and 1901, the Legion Bridge connects the Narodni Trida and Mala Strana neighborhoods of the city.
On my visit to Karlovy Vary came the rain. What did not spoil the feeling of this beautiful, peaceful, secluded place. There are many shops, souvenir shops and cafes. The town is famous for porcelain, Moser crystal glass, delicious resort waffles, and popular Becherovka liqueur. Waffles are called - payment. Their large number of species. With coconut, cinnamon, chocolate, pistachios, and lots and lots of other things. I bought them as a souvenir.
Night view of Prague Castle from Hradčany Square
Night Photography has its benefits. There are not so many tourists and cars on the streets ... Some objects are enlightened, others no, and so interesting contrasts are created.
But it's dark. If you do not have a tripod, it will give you enough work to keep the camera in peace.
It's really amazing. Like in the fairytale. Cesky Krumlov maybe the best little town where I've been in my life. You can walk through the streets for two or three hours and you will feel a calm & peacefulness. It's a really wonderful place.

Taken on my many walks upon the borderland that ˋunites´ Austria and the Czech Republic — the region around the little frontier town České Velenice...!...
I know places where one can walk ˋwith one foot in Austria and one in Bohemia´ most literally - judging by the last remains of barbed wire that in former times separated one country from its neighbor...! ~ Yet generally the mysticism of the ˋuntouched´ nature is far too magnetic than to allow any dwelling upon the area’s darker past ~ 💞 ~ In the above impression I expressed the once ˋseparated neighbors´ by the means of coloring / the so different shades of saturation representing one and the same image ... in case you have not noticed :)
St. Vitus Cathedral
It is inside the castle of Prague. It may not be different from other European cathedrals, but once you get overwhelmed by the size, you keep looking. If you go inside, there is a paid zone.
St. Nicholas Church
The best example of the Baroque in Prague, a masterpiece of the Dietzenhofer, with an exterior that characterizes the panorama of Mala Strana and magnificent and highly scenographic interiors. The organ is also magnificent, on which Mozart played.
The town of Ceski Krumlov is a delightful medieval gem on the Vltava / Moldau river in southern Czech Republic. The small alleys and main square are full of lovely small shops and restaurants. The best view of the town, as a whole, is from the castle, which is high above the town and shows the winding river and the town. The town and castle are easily walked, although the castle hill is quite steep. There were crowds of people there when we visited, but it didn't take away from the experience. This is a must-see if you are interested in life as it was centuries ago.
