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 @narchuk:

Amazing narrow streets. They are drawn to us from history. Now these are not built - only wide avenues, and they are crowded. It's always interesting to walk around small streets. Especially in an unfamiliar city. It is difficult to guess what is waiting for you around the corner? This adds a sense of adventure.

The monument of 101 years Jan Hus in the Old Town Square. A quote from him on the monument reads: "love one another and want the truth to everyone." A date that I loved, this whole city is so full of life that you want to never leave it. And all the architectural styles they have are beautiful.
This photo was taken in October 2016.

Hi, a great entry that deserves to be featured in today´s edition. Thank you for sharing. Tomas

Thank you for this opportunity

Today I show a detail of my favorite modern building in Prague: the Dancing House. I took a detail of the windows, forming in this way an abstract image. I used the "movement" of the lines of the building and the unusual shape in order to get the abstract character of the image.

An unusual capture of the Dancing house... I like it!

Bring a bottle of wine and take your place along the edge of the riverbank Vltava - it´s the perfect way to experience Naplavka. I also like to watch and feed the pigeons and swans. I was always wondering why they have chosen to live in this noisy and dusty city.

My today´s entry is this black and white shot of snow-covered Naplavka taken in December 2015. You can also see a tiny silhouette of the Prague Castle in the upper left corner. I have already said that many times but Prague really has its charm in every season of the year :)

Crucifixion statue, Charles Bridge, Prague. Replica of the statue of the Crucifixion, the original is in the National Museum. Work placed in 1657 and made in 1629 by Hans Hillger based on a design by the sculptor Wolf Ernst Brohn (1600-1664). In addition to the cross, the lead statues of the Virgin Mary and Saint John the Evangelist can be seen. Works made in 1681 by the sculptor Emanuel Max (1810-1901)

St Nicholas Cathedral -
A fabulous cathedral with Baroque style architecture. A stunning chandelier at the entrance to enchant you when you enter. The paintings on the walls are beautiful. You just cannot miss this green dome when you are in Mala Strana. You will find these white statues in every corner of this cathedral. Some statues are covered in gold and look stunning. Definitely a must visit when you are in Prague.

Great to get some pics from inside as most I get is from outside. Thank you for that. Tomas

St. Vitus Cathedral. The impression of the cathedral is amazing ... the first thought that arose when I saw it - "I got into a fairy tale".
The second thought is whether it was done by a man's hands ?! According to legend, St. Wenceslas himself began construction in the beginning of the 10th century. Whether it is so is unknown, but it is for certain that construction lasted about 600 years.

Great info Jul. Thank you for that. Tomas

Twice I was in Prague for the new year. But these were completely different holidays. Usually I do not really like noise and large crowds. But at that time there was a cheerful company. We walked and had fun all night. Probably half of the city passed on foot. Stop then in one place in the other. But I made only a few photos. This one is one of them. Made almost at midnight.
Prague night

Great place to celebrate:)....

Back in Kampa Park, you'll find a statue, that when clean may be beautiful, but in its current state only creeped me out. It actually inspired me to create an album of creepy/scary things I've discovered in Prague, including the faceless baby statues in this same park and the WWII memorial not far away. And as with most terrifying photos, it must be edited in black and white.

Oh well, that is the shame... I guess you find that in one way or the other all around the world. Tomas
