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 @nenio:

In Prague many shops are decorated specially for the Easter festivities. In this photo, can be seen a restaurant decorated with Easter eggs. The tradition of Easter eggs hanging on branches of tree is a tradition mainly in Central and Northern Europe. This photo was taken near the water mill in Malá Strana.

The Žižkov Television Tower is a unique transmitter tower built in Prague between 1985 and 1992. Designed by the architect Václav Aulický.It stands high above the city's traditional skyline from its position on top of a hill in the district of Žižkov, from which it takes its name.

Today I had a little time and now you are looking at mirroring the town of Pisek in the Otava River.

If you look closely, there is a power plant (light green building) on the left edge of the picture, built by the famous Czech technician and inventor František Křižík

Prague, the embankment of the Vltava River. In the summer, walking along the waterfront, St. Vitus Cathedral is visible from any point. Pleasure boats and boats ride tourists along the Vltava. An hour later, the sun will change and the summer rain will fall.

There are certainly at least one hundred chateaus in Prague. First, they were yeoman forts. Since the 15th century, wealthy townspeople have transformed them into vineyard houses. n the 18th century, the houses became the richest holiday homes. And that has remained to this day. The chateau is private and inhabited.

Prague is an amazing city and not for nothing is considered a tourist Mecca. In Prague, there is everything you need for rest and for what people go to another country. Amazing architecture, river, hills, museums, concert halls, excellent restaurants. In this city I did not want to waste a minute on such nonsense, like a dream. In Prague you have to wander all alone, that would enjoy its atmosphere

From Petrin Hill and the tower there is an incredible view of the beautiful Prague! I advise you to climb the tower in the late afternoon, to admire the Prague night lights. For especially lazy people there is an elevator in the tower (you really have to pay for it separately).

Petrin Tower
It's a small Eiffel Tower-like building, which is always visible from the old town, so I went when I went up to the castle. It's a gentle climb from the castle, but along the way, you will walk along a wall like a grass park. There are oak and walnut trees, and sometimes squirrels are running. After a pleasant walk, the best views were waiting. The night view are always awesome.

It is the wall of freedom of expression although the truth that has become a tourist where people put their name or any other nonsense that has nothing to do with the purpose of the wall, is overcrowded. The important thing about the wall is that it was a place where at the time of repression in Prague they started to put songs by John Lennon with lyrics that incited freedom and that was not well seen, then they continued to post messages until it began to mass and put anything. Tourism is fine as long as you respect the monuments and cities that you visit.

Very emotional and beautiful place. Walking along the streets of Krumlov and listening to the history of this town, you understand how mystically magical and powerful it is. It is very beautiful in the evening, when the city is lit and the castle is lit.

Charles Bridge
Bridge that feels the old days. It is also a great place to take pictures. There are many statues at the bridge, so it is fun to walk while watching it. Some were selling pictures and accessories on the bridge.
