Don’t forget to add a short background story for your entry with at least 30 words. I will then go through your submissions and upvote those that meet the requirements. Let me just remind you one more time that only personal images will be accepted in the challenge.

I am really happy to see more and more great photos being submitted to this challenge every day. Yesterday was no exception, we had several awesome entries featured in the photo challenge, including this amazing panoramic view of Prague by our new contributor @exploreand with the following description:

After a long day enjoying and learning about the heritage of Prague on a free walking tour, we decided to walk up hill to get a view from above. We had a fantastic experience joining the free walking tour and recommend it. I have the impression the guides always give their best in the free walking tours. We were rather exhausted and did expect a cool view but when we arrived on the top of the hill it looked much more beautiful than we had imagined.

A typic alley of Prague, they consists of narrow paths and classical buildings painted with this characteristic yellow colour. This type of yellow so common in the classical constructions of Prague, Vienna, Bratislava and other cities of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire is known as Hapsburg Yellow.

Very typical! Absolutely agreed.

My girlfriend brought me to that wonderful castle "Karlstejn". Perfect view from down, but also a wonderful view from up there.
We had a guided tour there, very recommandable.

Your girlfriend knows her stuff:)

This spectacular view of Vltava river I captured from Letna Hill. It´s a favourite place for summer strolls. It´s one of the best parks in Prague, great place to relax for everyone, georgous even in winter.

You gotta love Letna for those views! What a place!

Me in front of the Vysehrad Railway Bridge, one of the most famous train bridges in Prague. You can also see the Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul in the background (the two towers). The swans tend to gather at this spot on the Vltava River, making it a popular place for families with kids and… me! :D Image taken in April 2015.

Great pic and nice info! Thank you so much. Tomas

You might of missed this one cos of your timezone difference.

Sharing a picture taken at night. After dinner if we still have energy from our morning travels, we will go out to take night shots when we travel. Prague from memory was very quiet at night and taking our night strolls was very pleasant. The things you see during the day gives a different vibe during the night.

I am sorry if I did...... last 7 day were rather difficult with the time zones and internet connection....

Great image and entry! Thank you so much for that. Tomas

hey all good. I'm one of the earliest people to log off and earliest to wake up cos i'm in Sydney haha

This picture was taken at the highest summit of the Czech Republic at mountain Sněžka, 1603 meters.
That day I met a lot of astonishing views while hiking to the top and this spot is the result of the hard work of hiking. I also have the noted that we had to walk all the way back down to Karpacz (where we were staying) as the ski elevators closed after 5...

image

Awesome... the views from here are really awesome. I actually ran up Sněžka but from the Polish side. I've done a 38km loop, but there was so much more to see. I'll be back there one day.

Same here, went all the way from the Polish side and back. We were staying at Karpacz. I can't remember how many km's we did, but it was exhausting enough :)

Great job! I love your entry. Tomas

Zhizhkovskaya TV tower. The tower is completely different from the rest of Prague architecture, it is strange and too modern. Perhaps not everyone likes it, but the tower has become one of the city's bright sights.

Yep, even that is part of Prague:)

Every now and then something amazing happens in an edit. I preset to you a different view of Saint Peter and Paul Basilica. From this one location, you can have several different views of Prague, and they're all mesmerizing. Enjoy some beer from the beer garden while you're here and feed the swans down the steps by the river.

I love that place.... Thank you so much for your entry!

The Church of the Decollation of St. John the Baptist, the small building from the 12th century is located on a hill between full-grown trees in the valley containing the original core of Prague's district of Dolní Chabry (Bílenecké square 17/12). The church is surrounded by a stone wall with an ancient campanile. The church was built along an important route that connected Prague and Mělník and continued northward.

What a lovely place and a nice post. Thank you.

While walking down from pertin tower, I saw this leaf sitting on the guard rail. I thought it looked pretty cool and the way the tree make a natural tunnel in the background is cool. My time in Prague was awesome.

Also Tomas the last few days I have been traveling. Im in Malaysia right now, and over the last two days 2 of my posts were posted after you did the upvote rounds :(

I bring it up because your upvotes are really important to me and I really appreciate them.

Lovers' Bridge

Lights on Petrin Hill

Last few day have been pretty upside down for me due to travels, time-zones and internet connection. Should be better now. Feel free to re-use the post I did not upvote in your next entries. Tomas

Time to walk back into town after seeing the parliament and church. Love these winding cobblestone streets with the arch tunnels. Time for a good Czech beer all that walking makes one thirsty.

This is older photo made in The Prachov Rocks, which are situated in Český Ráj. It is beautiful are full of interisting fauna and flora. The Prachov Rocks is also paradise for rock-climbers . This year, a new tv show - Cranival Row is shooted there.

Thank you so much for your entry. Great post. Tomas

I've visited Prague several times. I used to live in Poland back then, so not a biggy. The photos I attach here were taken in 2012. I hope you gonna like the city in b&w version :)15346717173_97ca8cc818_k.jpg

Looks very nice actually. Thank you so much for sharing. Tomas

And again about the zoo in Prague. Together with the ticket, we received a booklet with a zoo map, which simplifies navigation around the area, and you can already plan your route so that you do not miss anything interesting. Booklets are in different languages. The zoo has almost 700 species of wildlife! We took 4 hours to watch it, and it was not enough for us, so I recommend that you give this corner of nature all day. The Princess Zoo in 2010 deservedly took 4th place in the ranking of world zoos that are tourist attractions on par with historical monuments compiled by such a prestigious publication , as Forbes. This is, indeed, a pristine corner of nature. Pleasures from visiting him we have a lot, and, of course, here we will come back and think more than once.

I have to make some time to go there this year!

One of the best parts of Prague has to be the beer halls. I captured this as reminder. I loved how social the city was - everyone invited us into a conversation once they realized we weren't from there.

Great pic and story!

Why now do not make orange roofs?)
This color in itself creates a great mood. When you look at the roofs that go into the distance, you become younger. So you want to walk on them.
View from the observation deck at the Town Hall towards Petrshin hill.

Prague view

What you need on a cloudy and grayish day?
Well it is simple, beautiful colourful buildings and even more beautiful blossom of the (cherry?) trees in front of the buildings!

One beautiful street on Zizkovo hill just below TV tower with babies.

Just past the old town square in Prague my wife (Riana) and I found this little shop that sells coffee and a local pastry with chocolate inside. It was super tasty and sweet, no wonder Riana is smiling like that! ;)

John Lennon Wall, Prague

In 1980, this wall in Prague was sprayed with graffiti inspired by Beatles songs to protest the restrictions imposed by the socialist government. Today, the graffiti is actually nothing special and nothing compared to some other street art, but tourists seem to love it - probably less for its historical importance, but rather as a background for their selfies.

Great entry! Thank you. Tomas

I love this panoramic picture I made few months ago because it shows several beautiful things. We can see the Vltava River of course but also the Petrin Hill and the Castle in the back. We can also see the colorful buildings on the left. And the thing with the blue roof next to the river is actually a restaurant and a bar where you can have a beer outside, in front of the river!

I drive the car a lot. I prefer to ride the local roads than a highways. I'm often surprised by some landscape or solitaire in the field. But even a place close to your home can sometimes surprise you. Like this rainbow near the Ticha Orlice River.

Your posts make Czech Republic look like it is heaven on Earth. I believe it will be one day. But we must fix our politics first. A man suspect from serious crimes and a drunk should not be the pair in charge of our beloved country.

I will send you some photographies from my favourite places around Paršovice later (Olomoucky region). Have a beautiful day.

A truely amazing place. Stunning views. I have been there back in 2015 on a business trip. The people are friendly and the food is divine.
