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:
Night photo taken at the Old Town Square in Prague. In the foreground there is the famous astronomical clock, also known as Prague orloj. It was built in the XV century. In the background of the image there is the Church of Our Lady before Týn built in Gothic style.

The Republic Square (Náměstí Republiky) is located on the site of the ancient moat that separated the Old Town from the New Town. This vast esplanade, which extends in the immediate vicinity of the medieval town, led to the construction of many important monuments in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Examples include the Municipal House, near the Powder Tower, the Hybernia Palace and the Jiří z Poděbrad Barracks (Palladium). Most of the square is a pedestrian zone that connects the two shopping centers Palladium and Kotva.
Oh, I love that place! I worked in that location after finishing university during my short 3 months stay in Prague. Then decide it was really not my cup of tea, lol.... Great entry for today's edition. Tomas
I am happy to know this story..Thanks Tomas
One of the buildings that make up the complex of the Silesian Hospital (Slezska Nemocnice in the Czech language) in Opava. Founded in 1900, the hospital has a capacity of 650 patients, making it one of the largest hospitals in the Moravian - Silesian Region of the Czech Republic.
Bohemian Switzerland
The view from top of the mountain is just amazing. We walked along the river through the forest. We spent 4.5 hours, it was worth. If you want to take a shortcut, you can; it would about 20 to 30 minutes to get to the archway view. One of the most beautiful places I have seen. Definitely should be visited.
Small town in southern Bohemia, Czech Republic, visited during a return trip from Prague. You have to insert it in the itinerary, you do not pass by chance, but the visit is absolutely worth the road traveled. It stands on the Vltava, close enough to the source, which crosses it and characterizes it with its still impetuous regime. Many attractions right on the Vltava, canoes, boating, mini rafting by exploiting the artificial barriers. The center is a little gem with various squares and streets embellished with typical restaurants and shops. The town is dominated by a castle that scents the air of the Middle Ages. If possible dedicate at least one full day, it's really worth it.
Dancing House
It is a modern house in Prague and that makes it stand out more. If you like modern architecture this is well worth a brief visit. I can't rank it higher than average due to the fact that it has no other value than some fun in the middle of a central slip trying to avoid the obstacles of the traffic lights and wires in order to get a good photo.
Two towers and "Hungry wall", Prague, Petrin Hill
The course is called "Playground on a Hungry Wall". The wall is also visible here. It was built by the emperor Charles IV as a fortification. 1360 - 1362. The wall is called hungry, because in 1361 there was such a nausea in Bohemia that famine came. Many poor have saved their lives by hiring themselves to build this wall.
(And we can see that we already have autumn in Prague.)
The Charles Bridge is the oldest surviving bridge that serves to cross the Vltava in Prague. On the sides of the Charles Bridge statues of various saints are set up and offer a very nice photo opportunity. The bridge is only accessible to pedestrians and mostly used by many people. There are also many artists as usual to tourist highlights in Europe.
The Moravian Karst is rightly considered one of the greatest treasures of Moravia. We went to see the Punkva Caves and Macocha from Brno, and we went to Sloupsko-Šošůvské caves. Kateřiny we did not succeed. However: Traffic access good, staff cave administration pleasant, in places is both restaurant and buffets. This natural monument is full of rocks, gorgeous caves and chasms, the hazy forests are dominant. You go and feel like in paradise. Especially when the sun rises and illuminates the beauty. the roads are nice.
The Prague Castle or Czech prazhsky hrad is probably the most visited sight of the Czech city. Therefore, in my opinion, it is a must for visitors to Prague. The castle is today the seat of the Czech president, but can be visited in large part. This imposing monument is an interesting stylistic composition, due to the influence of different architectural epochs.
A city that seems to get lost in a fairytale
The medieval castle remained in its original form, and when I was walking on a narrow cobblestone street I felt like I got lost in a fairytale. Because we went on a tour, it was only about two hours, but it was a small town but I wanted to stay slowly.
Church of Our Lady before Týn
Very beautiful church in the center of the old town. In there you can see the major architectural styles of the city and the grave of Tycho Brahe. One of the most beautiful cathedrals in Europe, the twin spines are just spectacular and eye catching. Definitely should not miss this attraction.
The "Bone Church" is very impressive in its own way. Once created in the 16th century to show us our mortality, it does not miss its effects even today. If you go on a city tour in Kutna Hora you should not miss it. Whether a two-hour train ride from Prague, just worth it, (about an hour away) everyone has to decide for themselves. Round trip for two persons cost 376, - crowns. Photographers looking for something special will definitely get their money's worth here.
If you want a 360 ° view of the city of Prague, I suggest you go up the hill of Vitkov and with not even 5 euros per family, you can climb the roof of the museum behind the national monument of Vitkov that you see in the picture and enjoy a wonderful view on the city.
