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 @risengwynbleiid:

For today's post I have prepared photo from my home town Liberec. Liberec is a statutory town in the north of Bohemia and the county seat of the Liberec Region. In the photo you can see Liberec Town Hall, which is considered one of the most beautiful in the country. Behind the Town Hall is located Šald's Theater which is just as beautiful.

Mikulov, city of many beauties. This photo was taken from Kozí Hrádek (Goat Tower). Goat Tower is not open the whole year, only in the spring/summer (I mean the lookout tower is not open, you can still go to the Goat Hill), so if you are planning to visit Mikulov, you should go to the Goat Tower too. Goat Tower was built in 15th century. The main purpose of this tower was to improve the defense system of Mikulov.

Thank you very much, Tomas. Have a great weekend :)

Found just outside the Silesian city of Opava, there is a charming little town of Hradec nad Moravicí, which is dominated by a beautiful Classicist chateau of the same name. In this photo, I captured one of the chateau´s impressive towers.

Spring is near. Photo of the Prague State Opera in spring as it can be seen with the nice flowers on the tree. This is a late XIX century building of neo-classical syle, its yellow colour is typical of the buildings of the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The Old Town bridge tower above on the second tier is decorated with St. Vita sculptures in the middle, and to the left and right of the Czech kings - Charles IV and Wenceslas II. On the third tier of the statue of the patrons of the Czech lands - Vocekha and Sigismundu. On the right is a separate monument to Charles IV.

For today's post, I have prepared a photo that links to the photo I shared yesterday.On the picture we can see Šalda theater. Visiting this theater I can only recommend. The interior of the theater has its magic. I have been here for the last time for a performance - Taming of the shrew from William Shakespeare.

Thanks to hilly terrain, Prague is full of sightseeing spots. Today I'll show you one of my favorites. It is a hill that is called Girls castles and if the weather is good, you will see the whole city. Not only that, but also the Border Mountains. Last year I spent a lot of time working there and one day I could see the Jeseníky Mountains.

One day I was walking through the beautiful streets of Prague, I found a funny show with giant bubbles, where everyone, both children and adults enjoyed this show, the artists interacted a lot with the audience, which made it more entertaining.

A morning view of white swans near historic Palacký Bridge across the Vltava River. Do you know that Albert Einstein used to walk on this bridge when he was professor at German University in Prague? Einstein lived in Smíchov (Lesnická Street) and walked over the bridge to work every day.

Close up of the centre of Prague :) You would think I am a magician if you would have seen how the picture looked before, it was very low quality and really dark with no color, I tried to make it more alive :) But I have to take it again with my new camera someday, can't wait for that :)

Yesterday I went for a midnight walk. I was excited. Planning to take a lot of pictures but then I realized that the sky was foggy 😞 Only one building was without a fog and looked pretty descent. Petrov (in Brno). In the end this picture exceeded my expectations so hopefully you will like it too 😊
