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 @peroo:
Teplice Rock towns really breathtaking, the environment is maintained. The ticket is valid for the whole day. It is better to go in the morning - for parking (free parking). Also suitable for less mobile, elderly people (except the Salt section "Lovers" - there are enough stairs). The duration of the tour is about 2-3 hours - we had a set in 1.5 hours without boat rides (it was cold, only 4 degrees). We enjoyed it despite the dreadful winter.

I visited Prague twice in my life, the first time i was with my mum @silvianeforti, i invite her to join the challenge, i am sure she will find some good photos of our trip in Prague on her old laptop, my second time in Prague i was with my grandma and granpa, they loved this city.
I loved Prague a lot, my first time i was so excited about that city and i plan to move there in my adulthood ( i was a teen) actually i do not move in Prague but i hope to re-visit it soon, there are a lot of things i still miss to visit. Most of all i loved the Karluv most or Charles bridge, the atmospher e when you walk it it's sp romantic and i have cool and sweet memories about some music players on the bridge they sang sad songs and everthing seemed enchanted.
I remember the castle, amazing with the golden street so cute and the old town? Such a jewel!
I also visited the jewish quarter and cemetery, it was painful, too much bad things happen in this world, we must remember them.
Fot the Challenge i choiche this photo but it was an hard choiche i also have another cool shot that i want to share, i will share it in another post.
Here is my entry for the challenge, thank you for reading!
Hi! Great to see you participating in the contest and hope to see your mum joining too. I love your image and sure do like you story as well even though it is little longer then expected. However, it still make a great entry to be featured in today's contest. Thank you so much and have a great day!
Beautiful natural surroundings of the Silver Lake in Opava reflected on the water surface. The lake used to be a gypsum quarry that got flooded by the nearby River Opava in 1964. Soon after the quarry got filled with water, the place became a popular relaxation area for residents of the region and even international visitors from Poland as Opava is located very close to the Czech-Polish border.
Legendary historic red tram filled with tourists passing by in the center of Prague with the famous Slavia Coffee in the background. The coffee has been very popular with prominent Czech artists and politicians, including the former Czech president Vaclav Havel.
Prague Powder Tower was built in the 15th century. Situated in Na Príkopech street in the centre of Prague, right on the Republic Square, it is 65 metres high and has an impressive view from the observation platform, which runs over 186 steps. Very nice!
Terasa u Prince is a very beautiful restaurant with amazing view and great atmosphere. I do recommend to visit this restaurant but during the day to enjoy probably one of the best views in town. Perfect place for also romantic dinner in a relaxed atmosphere. You can enjoy the sunset over Prague casttle and the amazing views of the old city. Good choice of wines.
Petrin Tower always
Petrin Tower is very nicely renovated Prague monument of the 19th century. It is possible to take an elevator to get upstairs and the view is really gorgeous. It is super choice for a family walk for sure. The night view was just awesome.
Today's photo is from Natural heritage Plešivec. It is a set of stone fields above the village of Kamýk, where is also the ruin of the castle. This place is located a few kilometers northwest of Litoměřice. There is a beautiful view of the western part of the Central Bohemian Mountains. Must have sturdy shoes, as it goes part of the way over loose rocks.
Church of St. Hastal (Castulus), Prag, Old Town
The church was originally Gothic, but for centuries it has undergone changes in the Renaissance and Baroque style.
Why is it mostly a park today around the churches inside the city? Once used to be cemeteries. But since the Enlightenment, cemeteries inside Prague have been disturbed. In the case of floods, they were in the flood area. So, after the flood, epidemics usually occurred ...
From the 18th century, therefore, it began to bury on the hills above Prague. For example, in Olšany.
This beautiful fasade is obviosly a part of the Prague Castle. WTF! I just opened Wikipedia and found out that Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle in the world :D Hmm..If I knew it back then, I'd probably put more work into the pictures. But it indeed is an amazing building, especially with the nice view of the city it offeres. You can see all them thousand towers! :)
The statue is not something that should not be missed or that attracts a lot of attention. However for the visitor who diverts a few minutes of its route to check the structure is at least curious to contemplate it. The work is well done and its symbolism makes one think a lot, especially considering that opposite is the Kafka Museum - which already leaves the visitor with the flea behind his ear.
