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 landscape shot by our regular contributor @randypike with the following description:

Today I'll show you another great view to the Strekov castle. The Strekov Castle is atop of a mountain above the River Elbe, near the city of Usti nad Labem in the Czech Republic. The castle was built in the 14th century to protect the waterway on the river. You can visit the castle every day to enjoy its impressive views.

Charles Bridge - A masterpiece in history looks stunning from every view. Sharing a picture I clicked from the Prague Castle. I felt the castle was a perfect place to capture some stunning shots of the entire city. I have shared so many pictures from this city on this contest and I still am able to pick more. I guess I fell in love with Prague.

Great capture! Thank you so much. Tomas

Prague is a city with an important influx of tourists so there are many shops selling all sort of things to the tourists. This photo shows colorful handicrafts in shop for tourists. The contrast of colours makes this image interesting.

Just 40 minutes by train from Prague you will find large gothic castle Karlštejn. I've seen many of castles, but this one really stands out.The castle itself and the views from it are magnificent. The photo taken in summer 2014.

What a fantastic place for a day trip out of Prague!

There are a lot of performers in Old Town Square. This one is a guy who makes a huge mess making bubbles for kids to play with. Which is cool but I wonder how many people have hurt themselves slipping on the soap he leaves all over the ground?

A closer up of the beautiful picture at the front of Municipal House in Prague. I didn't see how beautiful it was until my other half pointed it out. With the nice sculptures around the picture, it really brings out the nice look of the building itself.

Another picture of the contrasting colors of neighboring buildings lining the river in Prague. The buildings throughout the city differ in colors from one to the other making it one of the most beautiful and unique cities I have ever visited.

Today I will send a message that stayed in my mind for so long, and its going to stay until the end of time. At the Embassy of Sweden in Prague there was this large banner that brings such a powerful message by Ban Ki-Moon:

We are the first generation that can end poverty, the last that can end climate change.

Wow, that is a pretty strong message. I like that!

I've always loved the water city views. They inspire a note of elegance and refinement that easily attracts people to marvel at. Prague is one of these wonderful places and it's always worth visiting it.

Thank you so much for your submission! Great image. Tomas

This photo was made in The Lusatian Mountains - Lužické hory. On the picture we can see Corbies Rocks. Also there grow several characteristic plant species, some of which belong to the species endangered in the Czech Republic. This area is also know for tons of blueberries.

Thank you so much for sharing! What a great place for a day trip.

View of the Valdstejn Garden, one of the most famous gardens in Prague. Created in the first half of the 17 the century, in parallel with the Valdstejn Palace, the garden is famous for meticulous symmetry and geometrical design. Image taken in summer 2015 during my sister´s graduation at the Charles University.
