View of the Liberec Townhall. Found in the center of Liberec, Northern Czech Republic, the townhall is an impressive, Neo-Renaissance building that was completed in 1893. With a height of 65 m (213 ft), it is the most dominant landmark of the city. Source: Shutterstock, author: jurra8

I am really happy to see more and more great photos being submitted to this challenge every day. Yesterday was no exception, we had several awesome entries featured in the photo challenge, including this amazing panoramic winter image taken by our regular contributor @narchuk with the following description:
Small and very beautiful city of Cesky Krumlov. It's especially nice to stay there for a few days. Then you can walk the streets, at a time when most of the tourists leave. This is the best time to feel the peculiarity of this place.
Thank you for your submissions. Have a great day and keep on Steeming!

Greetings Tomas, and every other beautiful soul you gathered here in our small community!
.
This photo was taken few years ago in Ondrejov, small village 35 kilometers south-east of Prague, at Astronomicky Ustav with the largest optical telescope in Czech Republic (2m). I was going back to sleep from very busy and exhausting observing night, and suddenly, I saw this beautiful deer wandering around the meadow in front of radio telescope. I sneaked behind a tree and took few amazing photos. This is my favourite!
I really like my job which gives me opportunity to explore the Universe and at the same time travel to great destinations with beautiful touch of nature.
Hi! I actually like the fact you mentioned about our small community. I was thinking about that few days back and I can start seeing some good relations being build here between the users which is fantastic. I am sure if we all add some value in one way or other we can make this platform to be very successful. Have a great day. Tomas
Swans on the Vltava River
This photo shows the Vltava River from the Manes Bridge with four white swans in the foreground and beyond the Baroque dome and bell tower of the Church of St Nicholas. This part of the Lesser Town is very picturesque with many fine poplar and willow trees growing along the banks of the river.
Looks amazing! The image looks almost like an oil painting
I took this image during the Prague Signal Festival (spectacular night lightshow held in front of many famous sites of the city) in summer 2015. The building in the background is Rudolfinum, an important neo-renaissance building that currently serves as the seat of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra.
The church of Saint Wenceslaus, the oldest existing building in Prague' district Prosek (U Proseckého Kostela str.), was built at the turn of 11-12th centuries. This oldest core of the church (three-nave Romanesque basilica) was heavily damaged during Hussite wars. The church was in the last quarter of the 15th century, repaired in Gothic style. But in 1648 was again damaged by Swedish army. Baroque clocktower was built in 1712 and the last big changes were made around 1770, when original rectangular Romanesque internave pillars were masoned into oval ones.
Karmelitská street in Praha. There is a church of Saint Nicholas in the bacground. Every corner of this church can be nice.
You can find this street in old town, Malá Strana. Karmelitska is a busy street and you can buy some food in Subway.
I found that Trabants, the cars of the former East Germany (GDR or DDR), are still popular in the Czech Republic; in many countries are pieces of collection. I took a photo of this comercial advertisment in the city of Brno, showing an event/movie concerning Trabants.
This photo was taken in the heart of Hrensko. The small village Hrensko is located near the border with Germany. On this photo you can see the Church of St. John of Nepomuk, surrounded by many restaurants serving local cuisine.

There is a plaza in Prague called Stalin Plaza located in the Letenske Sady park. It is a famous skate spot where every skateboarder from around the world comes to skate when visiting Prague. It is also a frequent place where young people chill and have beer. I took this photo during my visit to Prague for the Mystic Skate Cup in 2015. The shoes hanging on the wire were an instant inspiration! Cheers to this wonderful plaza!
@czechglobalhosts thanks for the vote!
Mikulov is a beautiful city with a beautiful castle.
It's located near the Austrian border. I really enjoyed staying there before leaving Czech Republic.
I was there for the first time few months back and absolutely love it. I am definitely going back there again when I get a chance. Tomas
When the swan posed for my picture :)
We actually timed our walk to the Kampa Park during the times all the swans flocked here. Charles Bridge in Prague is simply beautiful. It is usually crowded with tourists ,street artists and a lot of street musicians. But if you want to enjoy a good walk on this bridge, then early morning is the best time.
O2 Arena is the second largest ice hockey arena in Europe with the capacity up to 18.000 spectators. It can host big sporting events and also shows and concerts. Great location near city center and easily reachable with Prague metro.
Nice Pics @czechglobalhosts - https://steemit.com/berlin/@dalexx/berlin-architecture
This one is from Lužické hory. They are really beautiful. They are also not so high, so everyone can take a walk here. This picture was made last winter when there was enought snow. This year there is just mud :-D¨

I really love nature and animals. And of course I could not pass by the Prague Zoo. In every visit to the Czech Republic, I always go there.
There you can always shoot animals and birds)
Actualy the Prague Zoo was rated one of the top 5 in the world... I still have to find my way to go up there... Hopefully sometimes in the spring. Tomas
Charles Bridge. This is the Malostransky bridge towers, located, as is obvious from the name, from the Mala Strana area.
These towers were built at different times. The lower one (it is hardly visible in the photo) was originally Romanesque, and in 1591 it was rebuilt in the Renaissance style. The higher one was built in 1464.
Of course there is a tower and at the other end of the bridge it was called the Old Town Bridge Tower. For a long time these towers were the only decoration of the bridge, but during the Baroque period the bridge was decorated with various sculptures
Karlstejn Castle
I read your travel tip about Karlstejn Castle yesterday. It really is a nice place to visit, I actually went there on a day trip while visiting Prague last year. The history of the castle is amazing and so is it's architecture!

Hi! I am very pleased you did. And what an amazing image agaig!
There is a "Train Bar" in Prague (in the center, on Wenceslas Square) where the train brings you your beer. Every table is connected to the railway and there is some lift bridges so that the waiters can pass (to bring food). Unfortunately, there is a lot of people and you'll have to wait to get a table. Moreover, you need to buy a train ticket so it will cost you more than just the beer (which is cheap for a place like this).
I took this photo in the historic center of Prague and couldn't stop watching this guy making giant soap bubbles. I cannot remember how much time we spent there just enjoying the atmosphere of this place, but it definitely was a lot! :-)
This is near Karlove Lazne looking at Kampa. I usually go here when I'm in a bad mood but this day the sky was so beautiful I had to take pictures. There's a good energy there so if you want to feel better take a walk to here and you can go on to the other side when the sun sets. Kampa has good energy too and if you want even nicer views you can go to Petrin tower which is just near the right edge. Enjoy!
I am sorry but your post does not meet the minimum description word requirements for the challenge to be upvoted. Tomas
Oh I'm sorry, didn't read carefully, I never do contests usually :)
First off @narchuk photo is beautiful.
So today's picture is from Lovers' Bridge in Prague, near the John Lennon Wall. People put locks all over the bridge to show their love and nearby is a water goblin. (According to google.)
Tomorrow I leave for a tip so I hope I can get a post up before I go or while in travel.
I hope I will visit Czech Republic as soon as possible. I want to see Prague.
I am amazed by this city.
I wonder if life expenses are cheap or expensive there.

Rainy and foggy day in Prague, it didn't stop me from walking through this beautiful city and enjoy it. Walking around the city centre, I stopped on the stairs and photographed typical rainy day.
Hello Prague lovers! I made this photo in front of Toy Museum in Prague city some years ago. I visited Prague in 2014 on a cold November day with some newly-made friends during a student trip and I fell in love with the city.
Hello Tomas, at the hill near the Brno city center is the castle Spilberk which is also called "The prison of nations". It is very sad history of this building where (not only) revolutionaries against Austrian monarchy were imprisoned. Today it is the seat of the Brno City Museum. The exposition in catacombes of Spilberk is devoted to torture.
Nothing to say about your post
Just
@Upvote and @Resteem
