Hello fellow Steemians!
I am here with another round of my 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. I host this photo challenge twice a week - on Tuesday and Friday.
You can submit your entries in the current round from now until Friday, 6 AM (CET). Please, 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.
The best 15 entries of the round will be rewarded with my upvote. I will also pick the absolute winner of the round from these 15 photos and reward him with an extra upvote on one of his recent posts published on the Steem blockchain. The winning photo will be also featured as the cover image for the next round of the photo challenge to give the author some more exposure and publicity.
There were many great entries submitted in the last round of the Prague/Czech Republic Photo Challenge and I had a hard time picking the absolute winner. After a deliberate consideration, however, I decided to choose the following entry by @magnata:
At the entrance to Charles Bridge we meet a gothic structure. This is the Old Town Bridge Tower. At the present time, everyone can climb to the tower and admire the beautiful view of the Charles Bridge and Prague Castle. Obviously, the tower has a dual purpose. The tower was a fortress defensive structure, but also triumphal.
Congratulations, @magnata! It is my pleasure to upvote one of your recent posts.
Thank you for your submissions everyone. Have a great day and keep on Steeming!
Please feel free to check out some of my other recent posts.

Beautiful golden hour over the Cherry Hill, a nice green area found close to the busy Prague railway station of Liben. The Cherry Hill is very popular with romantic couples as well as fruit pickers (in summer).
Ancient gods in front of Konopiste chateau.
This chateau can be found in the town of Benešov, in Central Bohemia.
The original castle, built around 1294 by the Prague bishop Tobias of Benešov, was rebuilt by the Lords of Vrtba and the Lobkovicz family to the chateau.
In 1887 František Ferdinand d´Este bought the chateau with the whole estate from the Lobkowicz family.
Antičtí bohové před zámkem Konopiště.
Tento zámek najdeme u města Benešova, ve středních Čechách.
Původní hrad vystavěný kolem roku 1294 pražským biskupem Tobiášem z Benešova byl přestavěn pány z Vrtby a rodem Lobkoviczů na zámek.
V roce 1887 koupil zámek s celým panstvím od Lobkoviců František Ferdinand d´Este, od r. 1896 následník císařského trůnu...
Exhibition "The Fall of the Iron Curtain", Praguen,now
So it will be 30 years ... Thirty years ago, Communist Hungary opened its borders to Austria. First, hundreds, then thousands, of the tens of thousands of East Germans went to freedom. Through the Czech territory.
The Czech Republic closed their borders in August. The Germans resorted to the Embassy of the then Federal Republic of Germany. Events have taken a rapid turn.
In November, the communist regime in East Germany and Czechoslovakia collapsed ... This is reminiscent of the exhibition in Queen Anne's Summer Palace at Prague Castle.

Strekov Castle is located on a rocky mountain about 100 meters high, located on the right bank of the river Laba. Since the XIV century, he changed many owners. Strekov described the castle in his letters of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the gloomy walls of the castle inspired Wagner when he wrote the opera Tannhäuser.
