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.

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 @dmytrokorol:

We have found this beautiful VW Beetle in front of even more beautiful Rudolfinum, the home of famous Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. Its largest music auditorium, Dvořák Hall, is one of the oldest concert halls in Europe and is noted for its excellent acoustics.

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.

Street in Vinohrady with TV Tower

When I visited Prague, I went to see the TV tower which has some quite impressive architecture to offer. I got this shot in the Vinohrady neighbourhood after I had fled from the rain into the tv tower where I enjoyed the magnificiant view over Prague.

The National Museum in Prague is the largest and also oldest museum in the Czech Republic. The main building is located on the upper end of Wenceslas Square. It´s is hard to miss this gorgeous historical building. However, this building is currently closed for massive and essential reconstruction until 2020. There is plenty to see, absolutely worth visiting.

Side view of the Governor´s Summer Palace, an impressive romantic mansion with Neo-Gothic entrance gate at the upper end of Stromovka in Prague. The yellow facade, in English Gothic Revival style, was created in the early 19th century, but the very origin of the building dates back to the 15th century when it was built to serve as a summer hunting residence for Prague nobility. Photo taken in July 2016.

Photo of an interesting sculpture, located in a square at the Jewish quarter of Prague. Unfortunately I do not have to much information about this piece of art. Could you or some of the readers share some information (author, etc) about this sculpture?

Here is another picture from Old Town, the heart of Prague. It is in the courtyard near the Astrological clock. The architecture is just amazing, just down right beautiful. Everyone should visit old town if they are in the area.

Here we see one of the famous buildings in Prague, the magnificent Church of Our Lady Before Tyn.
The name comes from a former market that was nearby, Tyn Square, so this was the church you came to before you came to Tyn. The two towers are 80 meters tall!

Schwarzenberská Hrobka


It is a tomb of Schwarzenberg's family. And the current head of the family is politician Karel Schwarzenberg. It was built in the nineteenth century. There are 26 coffins in the tomb and the tomb is open to the public.

Hello Prague-lovers! If you visit Prague one day, please keep in mind that John Lennon Wall is a Must-see. Starting from 80's this huge wall has been filled with John Lennon and Beatles-inspired graffiti and song lyrics. The huge colorful wall welcomes you into a warm atmosphere and at any hour of the day you can see people taking photos, singing songs and reading books around it.

River Vltava

In my opinion, one of the best views of Prague, especially in a beautiful sunny day. There is so much beauty in this city and I felt like taking a picture everywhere I went.

The past few days I have shown you the exterior of Prague Castle. Now its time to go inside to have a look. There were quite a few place which was quite memorable inside and one is this room. The ceiling was so stunning! The high ceiling and the pattern of it makes the room so grand.

Prague is a romoatic city which you will find yourself in fairy tale during the visit. When I just walked down from the castle, crossed the old bridge, trying to get a place to rest under the tree, I spotted this fancy scene! You can see kids feeding the swans and the swans are friendly to be approached by people, together with the river and old buildings at the back, you'll just want to capture this magical pretty moment and keep it in mind forever...


TV Tower on Praděd Mountain


DSCF0072.jpg


Praděd is the highest mountain in the Hrubý Jeseník range of mountains that cut across the Silesia and Moravia regions of the Czech Republic. Praděd is the 5th highest mountain in the Czech Republic. On top of the mountain is located a TV Tower, with a platform deck where people can go and view incredible sights. It is so high that the deck platform is often above the clouds! You can walk up the hill via the roads on the side, and come back down by a scooter (amazing fun! highly recommended).

We went there in summer time, because it is usually very cold there (1° Centigrade annual average). On the way walking up, the sky was doing beautiful things, and the sun and clouds were in the perfect place to grab this photo of the TV Tower. It looked like something out of this world.

Okay, so technically, this really isn't showing of the beauty that Czech has to offer, but this image means a lot to me. Stromovka park in Prague, was very close to our Airbnb and I'd often find myself strolling through it during my month stay here. These are trolly tracks in that park.

Prague is the first city that really kicked off my world tour and I've been traveling ever since. This picture reminds me that the path we're going down may not always be clear or obvious, but it's the one we chose, so make the best of it. You don't need much; only heart and passion are required to keep you rolling.

Thank you @czechglobalhosts for doing these. Being able to go back and relive these memories have encouraged me to keep on rolling. I'm currently in Malaysia, and not yet sure where my train is headed next.

Beautiful and lots of history and culture in it...

Creepy Looking Cloaked Man
Hello everyone! If you have ever visited Prague before, you will definitely remember the interesting statues in the city center. When I visited the city, I found myself constantly making photos of these statues and the one you see on the photo below is my favourite. After my Prague trip I even googled it and discovered some legends concerning this statue: If you want to have a selfie with this statue, a ghost face is claimed to appear on the photo later :)

@miswar123

Love that shot of the beetle !

Prague is one of my favorite cities. I want to return to it more than once. In this city, you can make a record number of pictures because it is amazing at every step.
Czechs are not a hasty people. They like to relax on the benches in the parks and there are a lot of them. You can play checkers.

This time I participate with this composition of photos showing the interesting pattern of the Prague metro. The play of colors and movement given from volumes is very distinctive. I don't know if it's valid participation with this photo (because it's a composition) but I think it's a very curious look of the underground network of the city. Have you ever noticed?

Charles Bridge

IMG_5444.jpg
Took this photo one and a half year ago during my trip to Germany, when we stopped in Prague for a night, and a lovely walk in the morning. Beautiful, peaceful city, only the weather was really cloudy and windy, but we managed to enjoy some rays of the ​sun, as they went over the whole city.
Look how the sun light falls through the aperture of the bridge tower.
