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.

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 @ritxi:
Ještěd is the most-known place in Liberec because you can see it from the whole city. On the top of the mountain, there is TV transmitter built-in in a technical architectural style. Inside the building, designed by architect Karel Hubáček, is a hotel and a restaurant, where you can rest and watch beautiful scenery of the landscape and Liberec city. Ahoj!

Prague Skyline at Sunset
Aerial View of Church of Our Lady before Tyn, Old Town and Prague Castle at Sunset. This view can be captured from Paris Hotel in Prague. We stayed in this hotel in April 2017 and for some additional fee got the admission to the tower with such great view.
Such a beautiful shot. I love the clouds.
Perfect image to be featured as the main entry for today´s contest.
Aerial view of Zizkov, one of Prague neighborhoods, as seen through trees from the Vitkov National Monument. Home to almost 60,000 people, Zizkov is dominated by the Zizkov Lookout Tower - one of the most famous (and most controversial) structures of the city.
View at the Charles Bridge from an Old Town Bridge Tower of Prague. The tower isn't as crowded as the bridge is and for a small fee you have a nice view, especially at night.
Another shot from the Chataeu Valtice. I know @derangedvisions will like it :). It still date back to the 1940's and still strong. Made from stainless steel and used for specialised and expensive wines.
After the visit to the winery, i realised why some wines are more expensive than the others even though they are all produced from grapes. The method, procedure, ingredients and instruments used all affect the price directly or indirectly.
Alcohol?? I smelled it before I even saw my name mentioned in it. lol. Great shot. I am going to have to visit this winery when I take a trip to the Czech Republic.
You are surely welcome to Czechia :)
Olomouc is one of the hidden gems in Czech Republic. The Upper Square is dominated by the Holy Trinity Column, a Baroque monument built between 1716 and 1754. It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as
Yep, truly spectacular place. Well recommended for a day trip out of Prague - 2-hour train ride away.
In a shallow basin, the outlines of which coincide with the contours of the Czech Republic on the map of Europe, a pair of bronze sculptures of naked pissing men was erected. Figures do not just pour water, and write out with jets those words that any visitor can send by SMS to a special phone number. These sculptures often have a vivid satirical and political overtones. According to one version of the interpretation of the composition - this is the confrontation between Brno and Prague, on the other - the ambiguity of the benefit for the Czech Republic from joining the European Union is played out.
These are such awesome statues. The Czech Republic has the coolest statues around.
It looks like I'm first today!
I give you a photo of Kostel svatého Prokopa or Church of St. Procopius in the Žižkov neighborhood of Prague. Construction started on this church in 1898 on the site of the chapel of St. John of Nepomuk, who was killed when he was thrown from the Charles Bridge in 1393. There is a plaque on the bridge depicting his death. I always enjoy walking past this beautiful church.
Prague in winter is incredibly beautiful.
Even if you’re one of those who do mind the cold weather, fortunately there are still many things to do and enjoy. Winter might as well the best time of year to visit Prague.
This shot is from a museum of young Czech and Slovak artists called Artbanka. Yesterday, @mespanta shared a photo of big guns that are hanging outside the museum. Unfortunately, it seems that this museum is no longer open. Maybe some of you have visited it in the past, it was located just very near the Charles Bridge. If you like art, there are fortunately other art museums that you can visit.

This interesting building is in Prague's Strahov since 1997. It is a breath of Strahov tunnel ventilation. It's a world-famous building, but hardly anyone knows about it. If you've seen the Blade 2 movie since 2002, you know it.
Great Captured man.
This love lock tradition means that the city has to cut the locks off the gate. This is not only an additional cost to the city but is also an ironic outcome, considering the love lock ritual’s purpose. The Rituals of Charles Bridge. Luck, Happiness, and Love Locks.
Yeah, I did a post about it a while back.... it is quite costly for the city....
Vertical composition. Žďár nad Sázavou
The lake was not yet covered with ice. On the surface of the water were layers of ice crumbs. It began to snow heavily. I suddenly really wanted to go to a warm cafe, where you can drink a cup of fragrant hot wine and chat about that about this ... However, we still had a long road.
Man Hanging Out (Zavěšený muž)
Another sculpture by David Černý which can be found in Prague's Old Town at the corner of Husova and Skořepka streets. The artwork was inspired by Sigmund Freud and looks surprisingly life-like at a distance.
That is svatošske skály, karlovy vary. Nice place with a view of the rocks. However, the entrance to the bridge is restricted to only a few people (not everyone adheres) and is very narrow, ie there may be a problem to avoid. Even outside the tourist season, it's not easy to find time for a photo when there is not a group of people on the site.
That looks like a great place for the nature lovers. Great entry.
yes its a great place for the nature lovers. Thank you.
Špilberk Castle is a hilltop castle and a dominant feature of the city, which will host us for the session's Eurovillage. Its construction began in the 13th century and it has been a royal seat until the 17th century when it became a major baroque fortress and prison. Today, it is part of the national cultural heritage and one of the Brno city museum buildings.
Water Tower in Lesser Town, Petržilek Island, near Jirásek´s Bridge
The tower was built in the Renaissance style in 1562 to supply water fountains to the Lesser Quarter. It is the only older tower on the left bank of the Vltava River. Others were built in the 19th century.
The oldest water towers still took water from the Vltava River. With the development of the industry and the fertilization of the fields after the 19th century, this water has been damaging.
Today, the water from the Vltava river in Prague is not used as drinking. Only in Podolí is the "preserved" waterworks. In all cases...
Spa hotel purkyně karlovy vary. The hotel is very conveniently located, all within walking distance - in the center, Bristol Spa-hotels in Karlovy Vary. Hotel is within striking distance of many attractions as Train Station Karlovy Vary. Good landmark view, city look and view on the river.
Here is from the beautiful city Bruno. I used to visit this city time to time because it was neither crowded like Prag nor expensive.. This is the architecture in the centrum. I really used to like this square..
very nice country for travel,,well air sky every thing from hear...
Troja Palace is a Baroque palace located in Troja, Prague's north-west borough (Czech Republic). It was built for the Counts of Sternberg from 1679 to 1691. The palace is owned by the city of Prague and hosts the 19th century Czech art collections of the City Gallery.

One of the house's elevation in Pilsen. I was impressed that so many old building's in this city was renovated and you can see so many interesting details on them.

Statue of Margrave Jošt in Brno is one of the most photographed sculpture in the city centre. It was built by sculptor Jaroslav Róna by the year 2015.
Ahoj!
I captured this image next to Karlov bridge 2 years ago at unusually cold April of 2016. The temperatures at Prague dropped to 4 degrees of Celsius and it was even snowing from time to time.
In spite of that we enjoyed our trip very much and found Prague just beautiful, as always.
