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 @thesloopjohnb:

The Zizkov TV tower is a prominent feature of Prague's skyline. Built in the 1980's it's beautifully futuristic and hideous at the same time. It's also not going anywhere, even if it looks like a rocket. Usually there are giant David Cerny made babies attached to the tower, but here is a rare view of it without them.

I've come across this unusual facade of a church in Brno, Czech Republic. That's what i enjoy about CZ probably the most is that historical feeling in the towns cities. There are all these statues and amazing old buildings behind each corner and it just is super enjoyable and it also yields a lot of good picture opportunities :D

Great shot

That sure is fairly unusual and something different to feature to start of the week.

So many times already been in the Czech Republic! Awesome place, very beautiful and alluring! And if you are traveling with your beloved or beloved, the romance of Prague will surely strengthen your feelings. Be sure to make a wish on the Charles Bridge! If you really believe, the desire will come true. In Prague, a great many restaurants and cafes, where you are very tasty feed, and portions will enter just in amazement with its size! Therefore, if you are not a special lover of food, it is better to take a serving for two. Be sure to try all the beers, advise something is useless here, there is a lot of it and everyone will be able to find something they love for themselves. In the souvenir shops a very large selection at low prices. Everywhere there is a very friendly staff, you will never be rude and will not be left without attention !! So I can say with confidence that Prague is a wonderful place to relax !!!

Good day to all. The Prague Castle is a place that needs to be inspected for at least three or even four days. This is the name of the territory that is within the fortress wall. And inside there is so much that the transfer just takes more than one minute. Many gardens, historic buildings, palaces, basil, fountains and other buildings.

When I came to the Chech Republic, to Prague in particular, I was told that this city has a well-known name - The city of Red Roofs. I could see why:) Quite a noticeable feature, right?

Unfortunately, I don't remember where this photo was taken from. I think it was something like a castle. I remember going up the long and narrow staircase. The view from there is really impressive!

The heart of Prague, the Old Town Square. In this touristic area there are many magnificent buildings in different architectural styles. Already in 1091 there was a market here. It is a good place to stay and relaxing.

Cesky Krumlov, Photographer's Paradise
The old town only has about 200 hundred residents, but gets about a million visitors a year so just about everything is for the tourists. But that's fine since it is all well done and isn't gaudy or trashy. The old buildings are well kept and there's a beautiful building or vista every where you look. The castle gardens are beautiful and open all the time. Stay overnight and get up early before the rest of the tourists are awake so you can take some pictures without a lot of people you don't know in them.

Kapuchin Monastery, Loretánské square, Prague, Hradčany
P1090539.JPG
The monastery was completed in 1600 along with the Church of the Virgin Mary the Victorious and the Angels. The Capuchin Order proclaims modesty. That's why their buildings are like that. They are simple. But they are measured, purposeful, and tasteful.
Autumn weather is appropriate for them.

What most attracts the attention of this sculpture is not the impression of two men urinating on public roads, but with the movement of their hips and the water that flows from their groin, it is possible to write words that passers-by request from an SMS The author of this work is David Cerný .; It is located in the courtyard of the Franz Kafka Museum. They are two bronze sculptures of more than two meters, urinating in a small pool shaped like the Czech Republic, and with their jets they are drawing phrases of famous Czech characters.

I dropped in to Cesky Krumlov on the way to Prague from Salzburg. As this small town was held in the Vltava river, the Chromev c castle, the red-roofed roof and the white-walled house were lined up, and it had a different atmosphere from Western Europe ♪ In the center of the city there is a cafe in the center of Svornost It was open and many tourists were visiting and crowded.

How to get acquainted with the St. Vitus Cathedral: brief instructions: go through the corridor leading to the site in front of the Cathedral, with lowered eyes, do not look ahead. Coming out of the corridor, do not raise your head, count down 9 steps and look up at the cathedral ... The WOW effect is guaranteed! This colossus really does not fit into the camera lens and shakes with grandeur. Inside you can get for free, but in a limited area. To go further and see, you need to pay denyuzhku. There is no sense in it, because all the beauties - stained glass windows, vaults, etc., are located in the "free" territory of the cathedral. Going to Prague - be sure to visit the St. Vitus Cathedral!
