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 @sk-russell:
It is one of the most beautiful squares in the world, and it is the cross of its entire history. Beautiful houses, a unique Astronomical Clock that does not have a single world, are the aisles where the guest of Prague can embrace the unique atmosphere of this exceptional city.

View of the Monastery of the Red Cross, which is adjacent to the Charles Bridge. The dominant feature is the Baroque tower at the Church of St. Francis of Seraphim. This tower was built during the reconstruction of the monastery after the siege of the Swedes.
There is no need to look any further. This image is a real stunner that will shine as an entry image in today's post.
Side view of the Velke Hostice Chateau. Located in the village of Velke Hostice, some 5 km outside of the Silesian town of Opava, the chateau was originally built in the Baroque architectural style but it was later reconstructed into a Classicist building.
Statue of a pregnant woman located at Josefov in Prague. It was done by the contemporary and polemic Czech artist David Černý. The sculpture was done using cubes of metals, giving the impression that it was done by “giant lego pieces” or it can also be thought as a “pixelated volume”.
The path between fields, Vysočina (the Highlands)
Old roads ... The first farmers went for thousands of years. Then the merchants started to go with them. The paths were slightly modified for the use of carts. And they served for hundreds of years.
Recently, they have replaced modern roads for cars. And the modern roads are nowhere else.
Perhaps the field path that runs around you is an old imperial way.
I've tried to give this photo kind of old feeling (means I just used a retro filter :D )+ also get rid of the veggie market rush which was going on the square. Square is actually called a "Green market" and it's in the city centre of Brno, the biggest city/town of Morava region.
I love Prague, but a gem many people forget is Cesky Krumlov. This picture was made by me a few years ago during a visit to Cesky Krumlov using the panorama function on the camera.
This is the place to be. There are so many people around. All sorts of entertainment going on and inexpensive places to eat. We ate here both nights and also had a drink here. You could spend hours just watching the world go by. Prague old town is the most beautiful in Europe. It is loaded with places to see and offers and easy access to Charles Bridge, the city's oldest.
It isn't the best picture, but it shows the Old Market Square in Prague during the Christmas market season, meaning it is totally crowded and it has an amazing atmosphere. To me, a bit overcrowded, but still fantastic!
July is Franz Kafka's birth month. He was born July 3rd, 1883. A native of Prague, he is ever-present as you walk through the city. Much of his formative years revolved around Old Town Square. He lived right by the astronomical clock, and he went to school inside the Kinský Palace which you can see to the left of the Stone Bell Tower right behind the Jan Hus monument.
If you are interesting in learning more, I just posted the first of a two-part series on my encounters with Kafka during my stay in Prague.

Incredible dancing house building at Jiraskovo namesti. It's just like looking at a still photograph of an earthquake as it happens. A fascinating piece of architecture. A very iconic building which stands out architecturally seen right across the city.
It is one of these buildings you will like it or loath it.
