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 @manoldonchev:

Night view of the spires towering above Prague as seen from the streets not very far. I remember the day going not in grey but in those soft pink, orange and violet tones that made walking there feel like magic. Or that may be just a kind of nostalgia talking.

What a beautiful square! There are four distinct types of architecture as you look around the cobblestone beautiful Square. The buildings are painted with beautiful colors and artwork. A great place to people watch and spend the afternoon or evening.

Truly magnificent shot. Ready for the cover of the travel magazine and great as the main entry for today's contest. Thank you so much and have a great day. Tomas

View of the beautiful Silesian landscape between the city of Opava and the nearby village of Radun. Thanks to the recent rains, the landscape just turned green again after being dried up by the summer heats and droughts. Welcome to the Czech Republic, autumn :)

Walking on well-traveled Prague streets full of tourists to destinations everyone knows about one can suddenly turn into some small opening and enter what before remained unseen space. I fell into the courtyard of what I remember as a Museum for Modern Art. I may be mistaken because I took no written notes then. And I do not know if that installation under open sky was a temporary exhibition or if it was something permanent. I decided I should save an image anyway.

Charles Bridge must rate among the most visited bridges in the world. It is a leisurely 10 minute stroll from one side to the other with various monuments along each side of the bridge. There are also local artists and street sellers along the bridge selling their wares. If you just visit one attraction when visiting Prague then Charles Bridge must be the one.

Church of St. Nicholas in the Lesser Town is the most significant monument to the architecture of the Prague Baroque. During the construction and decoration of the temple, the best architects, sculptors and painters that Prague could offer in the 18th century demonstrated their work.
There are also preserved Baroque organs, played by W.A.Mozart during his stay in Prague.

Ta sa ti podarila, Kraki;)

Dík. Já se u každé fotky snažím.

Fantastic view from St Bartholomew's tower
The view from tower - the best way how to see Pilsen city centre and surroundings. I loved the view on Pilsen, the bells there, the old stairs, it is just beautiful experience. Enjoyed our visits but wear sensible shoes and watch your head. A great panorama of Pilsen awaits at the top.

Petrin Tower
High on the hill is Prague's own Eiffel Tower. Take the mountain railway up to the area on a clear and sunny day to enjoy the view of Prague. This tower is on top of a hill overlooking the castle district and old town area of Prague. This tower is a miniature of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It is of course not big, not imposing, but it compensates you with the unique view it offers throughout the old town!

Very important place. The witnesses of the communist period say, that the sculptor perfectly expressed their feelings about the regime. He probably expressed even better the feelings of thousands of the victims. Represent history and memory of people who been brought down by communist.

Strahov Monastery
What I liked most was the library, if you want to take pictures you have to request it when buying the entrance below, otherwise you will not be allowed to do them. I do not want to reveal it I think there are things that one has to do with their eyes and telling everything does not make sense. You will like.

We went across the Charles Bridge a number of times during our visit to the Prague, it's very picturesque and you can see why Prague is famous for it. it is well worth a trip over at night time - this is when it really comes into its own!
