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 @magnata:

View of the Charles Bridge from the Old Town Bridge Tower. Nowadays, everyone can go up to the tower and admire the beautiful view of Charles Bridge and Prague Castle. Upward there are 138 steps. The height of the tower is 47 meters. Panorama opens very beautiful and unforgettable.

Castle Lytomysl lies in the Pardubice region on the border of Bohemia and Moravia. The castle was built in Renaissance style in the 16th century. Later the interiors were rebuilt in Baroque and Classicist style. In 1999, he was enrolled in Unesco's list. Since 1949, Smetana's Litomyšl music festival has been held here every year.

When I was looking for some Shutterstock images of Litomysl, the selection was not that great. I think this might be just the best one I have ever seen. You are being featured today:).....

The park surrounding Průhonice Chateau is one of the most beautiful in the Czech Republic.The park is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Pruhonice park has 3 trails for walkers, we did with my family medium difficulty.

Wow, picturesque to say the least... beautiful shot here @liltammy

Yes! The park is absolutely gorgeous with various ponds and streams inside, many of different trees, bushes and flowers.
@conradsuperb Thank you and have a nice day!

As I can see!!
You're welcome & I hope you do the same :-)

I was in Průhonice 3x times, but I have never seen the whole area, because it is so big :-D

@risengwynbleiid You have to go back and explore the entire park :) Thank you for comment and smile :)

I certainly have make my way over there one day after seeing your post:)....

Sharing a photo of a street in Prague. It was not too crowded when we visited and everyone was very friendly. Everywhere was very clean and from memory, everyone we encountered were able to communicate to us in English so Prague is a very tourist friendly destination

Karlovy Vary, a small resort town, which is famous for its hot mineral springs possessing medicinal properties. The temperature of the mineral water ranges from 30 to 72 degrees Celsius. The photo is January 2018, and the weather is warm and sunny.

Great click, a little different view of Karlovy Vary. Thank you so much for sharing! Tomas

Thank you for your mark.

Here is another picture from atop Petrin Tower. This one is of Prague Castle, which is beautiful up close. If you go around the top of the hour you can actually see the people who ring the bell. They have to trade off on the ringing because it takes so much energy.

I like those image from up there:).....

Today I have an entry from Bílý Potok. It is a place where our school usually held harmonizing days - event where we should become friends with other classmates. Bily Potok is a village in the Liberec region. In the photo you can see the bridge over the river Směda, that was just a few steps from our pension.

Not only beautiful buidlings are located in the Czech Republic but also some unspoiled and astonishing nature. Thank you for sharing. Tomas

This view of a beautiful city Mikulov and the Pálava hills. I think I might even prefer it over the view from the top of the Saint hill. Here it is more like a village, and you can nicely see that the whole city lies on a hill, slowly getting higher and higher.

Wow! I have never been there in winter! Looks fabulous as always though.

That´s me practising my horticultural skills in front of the Liben Chateau :)) Located in the Liben Distric in Prague, the Liben Chateau is a majestic Rococo mansion that served as a seat of Prague nobility in the past. These days, it is home to some municipal authorities and offices.

Hi! It's my lately entry for today photo challenge. I choose this... Let me say NSFW photo with sculpure of naked boy.

This clupture is in one of the yards not far from Cathedral of St. Vitus, Wenceslas and Wojtech. And as you can see by the brilliance of it's parts, this sculpture is popular among tourists. And as I remember some women like to hold on it's parts and take some photos... ;-)

This picture is another one from the fresh batch. It was taken from Spilberk and captures Petrov and cityscape of Brno (Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic). There was a lot of English speaking tourists when I took a walk around Spilberk, it was kind of surprising, you almost felt like you were in a different country. Maybe they were university students (Mendelova, Masarykova etc.) because a lot of them were young.

Fabulous view! Great entry. Tomas

View of Prague city, seen from Petrin Tower. Prague is such a lovely city where you can get a nice view from many parks. You can see how green and nice the city is. For me it's like a setting for some fairy tales.

Thank you so much for your great contribution to the challnenge. Tomas

I do not know if Prague is such a magical autumn, nor did I see this city generally in the fall. When I stepped into the streets of the city, I always fell into misconception that I lived at another time.

When the bell rings in the gothic towers, it makes me feel something extraordinary. I guess the architectural integrity that led to this, the city is preserved day by day. Prague is a museum city, every street, every building is distinctly elegant, no doubt, but the attraction for me is always the Charles Bridge. I will go on my way to the bridge in the end if I go away. This old bridge with two statues of Baroque stilts on both sides was made so much more formal and photographed; the artists are exhibiting them again on the bridge. Even though it is difficult to walk on the bridge due to the tourist crowd during the day, if you come in the evening and the weather is pleasant, the little orchestra performing music for you. To me, it's the world's most romantic bridge.

Hello Tomas and everyone, I am sharing a photo of this musician that I discovered playing on wine glasses at the Charles Bridge. I must say that he was really good - using only wine glasses filled with water he was able to create amazing music. I took this a couple years ago, so I am not sure if you can still find him on the bridge.

Beautiful view taken from the astrological clock of The Church of Mother of God before Týn belongs to the Unesco cultural heritage, it is located in the Old Town Square of Prague. It is the most important gothic construction of all the churches in Prague because there is the oldest organ in Prague.

The Evangelical Chapel in Kořenov, on the border of the Giant Mountains and the Jizera Mountains, was built in 1909 by the plans of Otto Barthing, the leading Berlin architect. Currently in the administration of the Unity of Brotherhood. Around the local cemetery. For the fog you can not see beautiful surroundings.

Congrats to all the winners in advance, I wish I have visited Czech. Great job @czechglobalhosts

Škoda, že moc fotek z domova nemám, protože většinou fotím jen když cestuju. Nicméně aspoň přidám fotku malostranských střech pod sněhem... :)

Firstly, apologies that this photo isn't a fancy photo. But this photo means a lot to me because right there below Charles Bridge is where my husband proposed to me 8.5 years ago. This photo was taken a few days after the proposal when we returned to Charles Bridge one more time before our trip was over. Prague is a beautiful city and for him to propose to me there was the most romantic thing he'd ever done.

Very nice picture

This is a long exposure photo of Prague at night. It showcases a nice contrast between modern Prague (traffic, fast paced society) and historic Prague (historical buildings with beautiful architecture). I love how Prague lightens up at night, a true joy to watch.
