in #photography6 years ago (edited)

Hi there my Steemit friends and followers!

Through my entry for today´s #architecturalphotography contest hosted by @juliank, I would like to show you one of the most beautiful places in Prague, the famous Old Town Square.

Located midway between two other iconic landmarks of the city - the Wenceslas Square and the Charles Bridge, the Old Town Square is an old medieval square that boasts several remarkable pieces of architecture such as the Old Town Hall (with the renowned medieval astronomical clock), the Jan Hus Memorial or the Church of Our Lady before Tyn (the majestic Gothic church with two spires that you can see in the photo).

At Christmas and Easter, the Old Town Square hosts traditional markets where visitors can buy anything from crafts and souvenirs to local specialties and many kinds of beverages.

Situated in the very historic heart of the city, the Old Town Square is a truly spectacular place but for the very same reason, it often gets uncomfortably crowded so be ready to be squeezed by tourists from all over the world if you decide to visit his iconic Prague square.

Beautiful photography. The town square's such a integral part of history

Thanks! It is an integral part of the historic center of the city indeed :) Btw, you have a cool name! I love sloths! I had some unforgettable encounters with them in Costa Rica :)

They are my spirit animal... haha

Oh man I just love them :) Check out this video, it was taken by me in front of our jungle hut :) (it´s short, don´t worry :D)

Beautiful colors, amazing clouds, great angle...great choice of place!!
This is a absolutely gorgeous shot.

Thank you :)

Praha je věčný zdroj inspirace ;-)

Co se focení týče, tak to platí určitě ;)

The sky makes the perfect backdrop for this one @phortun. 😊

Thanks Gillian! Btw, I can see you are close to turning 60 of reputation - have you claimed your Byteballs yet? There is an airdrop on this cryptocurrency for Steemit users, it is very easy. Once you reach 60 rep, you can get Byteballs worth 80 USD (50-59 rep is just 40 USD). Let me know if you are interested ;)

Yep. I know about it @phortun. I tried it on my phone a couple of weeks ago but for some reason the payments people sent me didn't appear in my wallet.

So I am waiting until my reputation reaches 60 and then I will try again with a wallet on my computer. I am hoping it will be treated as a new account and I will get the 80 USD rather than 40. But it's taking a long time to get up to 60! 😢

I think it depends on whether you already linked your Byteball wallet with your Steemit account (through the Steem attestation bot in the wallet) or not. If not, you should be able to install the wallet on your computer and claim the free Bytes. They just changed the conditions of the airdrop a bit - you don´t need other people to send you the funds anymore but there are some new steps required. Feel free to contact me on chat or Skype and I can guide you through the process ;) I would first send you my referral link to download the wallet - that´s how the referral works now. The problem is that nobody knows how much longer this airdrop will be open. So it might be worth getting some help (e.g. voting bots) to reach the next reputation tier.

I think I think I've probably already linked my wallet but as I can't get access to my funds I though it was worth tying again on my computer.

I can't face working out how to use voting bots so will just take the chance that I'll get to 60 before the airdrop ends. It might now work anyway. 😊

hii I am upvoting I hope so u also upvote my blogs
