Hello fellow Steemians,

I hope you are all having a great start to the new week! :) 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. Just make sure you are familiar with the new rules and conditions of this photo challenge:

AS THIS PHOTO CHALLENGE HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY POPULAR ON STEEMIT AND THE NUMBER OF SUBMISSIONS HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY GROWING, I CANNOT UVPOTE ALL OF THEM ANYMORE, UNFORTUNATELY. THEREFORE, STARTING NOW, ONLY THE BEST 15 ENTRIES OF THE DAY WILL BE UVPOTED. OUT OF THOSE 15 PHOTOS, HOWEVER, I WILL ALWAYS CHOOSE THE WINNER OF THE DAY WHO WILL BE REWARDED WITH A BIGGER UVPOTE. THE WINNING PHOTO WILL BE ALSO FEATURED AS THE COVER PHOTO FOR THE CHALLENGE POST THE NEXT DAY, TO GIVE THE WINNER SOME MORE EXPOSURE AND PUBLICITY. HOPEFULLY, THESE UPDATES WILL ALSO MOTIVATE ALL CONTRIBUTORS TO SUBMIT THEIR VERY BEST SHOTS.

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 @jlgc:

I present to you a picture I take in my holidays in Prague in 2011, I hope you like it ... The Charles Bridge is the oldest bridge in Prague, and crosses the Vltava River from the Old City to the Lesser Town. It is the second oldest existing bridge in the Czech Republic.

View of Prague from Petřín (the hill on left bank of the Vltava River). You can see Prague Castle in the centre of photo. To the left of Prague Castle is Prague's district of Hradčany or the Castle District. On the right side of photo, below Prague Castle, is Prague's district of Malá Strana or Lesser Town of Prague.

The beer tastes best on Naplavka! The Rašín embankment is currently the most attractive and lively spot among the river banks in the central part of beautiful Prague. You can enjoy the view of the Prague Castle in the distance and feed the swans and pigeons with bread.

Only Heineken is not the best beer to drink.

Me enjoying a spectacular scenic view of Prague from a lookout point at Divci Hrady (would translate as “Girls´ Castles”), a small neighborhood located between Prague Smichov and Prague Radlice. The image was taken on a cloudy summer day in June 2016.

Everyone has passed by Municipal House Hall thousand times, and it is really beautiful building. But during one night sudden storm had spoiled our plans, we went inside a nearby bar. Coming out of it smooth lights, after rain smell in the air and reflections on the street, and some beer inside my bloodstream made this building very magical. It is still my favourite photo from that visit to prague. :)

Yes, Municipal House certainly is one of the magical buildings in Prague. Thank you for your entry. Tomas

Yesterdays winner is beautiful, great shot @jlgc.

My picture today is from the walkway near the metronome. Looking out to petrin tower. I like the look of the two angels at the end bridge and the fall colors are really pretty.

@czechglobalhosts posted yesterday about the Prague Zoo, so I was inspired to dig up a photo from my trip to the Prague Zoo while I was there. This particular shot is taken from the hallway behind their monkey exhibit. Below you will find a picture of a monkey in said exhibit, but less in focus. I just really dug the framing from this spot.

The zoo there is amazing, and definitely worth the visit if you have the chance. You have to purchase a map, which I thought was weird, but their signage around the park will get you around just fine.

Thank you, that is great to give the post some support by submitting this wonderful entry. Have a great day. Tomas

Today i show my picture from the world famous Karlsbrige including the Bridgetower. I took the picture from another Bridge not far away. There weren't soo many people as on the Karlsbrigde so it wasn't that hectic to take the shoot :)

This is the Old Town Square and the towers of the Church of Our Lady of Tyn are revealed. The towers are 80m high. There was already a church here in the 11th century. The present version was built in the 14th century. Construction was completed in the 15th century. This is the Square with the clock tower and the Jan Hus statue.

Great close up! Thank you for your entry. Tomas

Osada Jizerka


This photo was made during cycling trip in Lusatian mountains. There is a restaurant where you can refresh yourself by original Czech beer or lemonade. There is also museu of Lusatian mountains. It is ideal place for rest.

What a lovely place you are sharing with us today. Thank you. Tomas

Inside Prague Castle, the ceilings were very tall as I mentioned yesterday. Today I'm sharing a different ceiling which I thought was very colourful. If you look closely, every picture is different. We took a number of them which I will be sharing with you all in the next few days

What a ceiling!

One of the best experiences I had when visiting the Czech Republic was to go to Znojmo which is located near the border with Lower Austria. There I found the best landscapes, the snow combined with the whole place and I really felt so comfortable that I did not want to leave. This is one of my favorite photos of my visit the Czech Republic

My first entry ever to your contests, hope I am doing it right. Thanks for organizing @czechglobalhosts =]

While enjoying the visual highlights Prague - including Bohemian style buildings, bridges and characteristic cobbled streets - I came across this young family enjoying their holiday being driven by a beautiful & traditional horse cart. They were dressed up nicely for the occasion!

Welcome to the challenge. Thank you for your entry and hope to see you back. Tomas

This Karlovy Vary below in the photo you can watch the river Teplu. Its name is because of the warm water. They say that in cold weather, steam comes from the river. This river, flowing through the central part of the city, does not have natural shores and is more like an artificial canal, but what is surprising about it is that the water in it is exceptionally clean and contains mngo fish.

Thank you so much for your entry. Have a great day Jul. Tomas

Hello dear Steemians! Have you ever been to Prague and seen Charles Bridge? If you haven't, you should definitely do! This old stone bridge which links two sides of Prague is one of the most interesting tourist attractions in this beautiful city. You can see tens of singing musicians, artists with their fine art works and curious people who constantly take photos at almost every hour of the day on this bridge.

What a great image. Thank you for your participation. Tomas

Somewhere in Prague

I really like this picture, unfortunately I don't know what is this beautiful building. I would really like to know. Maybe it is a monastery. I believe I took it at the end of tram line 22, but I just cannot remember well. Does anyone know?

Hmmm, not sure myself. It does make it a good entry though and hopefully someone will know. Tomas

Thanks for your reply. Next time I'm in Prague I will try to look it up again.

Photo of everyday life in Prague. Trams are very popular way of transport and also bicycles when the weather allows to use them. This is an old tram, the city also has modern trams.

Holidays are the best time for various experiments. Including with a photo. Long exposure allows you to animate the image. It works even in a such genre as architecture-shooting. In this case, we are trying to continue the idea of the architect of these dancing houses in Prague.
In this case, we do not like such a classic technique as shooting with wiring. But you can use the camera torsion to repeat the lines of the house.

Dancing house

Dancing House indeed! :D very creative approach, I like it.

Thank you)
I do not really like to shoot architecture. But when a good mood I can indulge)

Czech Republic! Is a Great Country @czechglobalhosts.

Prague is one of the places I've always wanted to visit. If I have been there and took photos, I would definitely be taking part in this challenge! But I do look forward to checking out others' photos

I'm always intrigued by the tapes to send the mail, because I like to send a postcard to my parents. And so also in Prague I looked for it and here it is! With its lovely orange ... looks almost like a face ready to receive my messages :)

Town of Rudolfov.
A small town in the neighborhood of České Budějovice and in ancient times their rival. Originally, it was a mining settlement at mines where silver was mined. Thanks to the local silver mining, a mint was established in České Budějovice in the 17th century.

Městečko Rudolfov.
Malé městečko v sousedství Českých Budějovic a v dávných dobách jejich soupeř. Původně to byla hornická osada u dolů, ve kterých se těžilo stříbro. Díky zdejší těžbě stříbra byla v Českých Budějovicích v 17. století dokonce zřízena mincovna.

Thank you, I am deeply grateful and pleased that my photo has reached this distinguished place ... which motivates me to continue participating...now the photo with my wife ..
