WARNING: The use of images that are not your own on which you claim the ownership will be flagged - HELPING TO STOP PLAGIARISM ON STEEMIT


Hello fellow Steemians,

I hope you are all having a great day! :) 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 @magnata:

Among the Gothic cathedrals that I have seen in Europe, the Czech cathedral of St. Vitus is one of the most impressive. St. Vitus Cathedral is considered to be a structure of the Middle Ages. But it is not so. For already in the 10th century on this place there was a small church of St. Vitus, the foundations of which have been partially preserved to this day. This church was decided to expand to the cathedral. And on November 21, 1344, the first stone of the future church was laid here.

It's from 2015. I still remember that day, I got out from the library of the Charles University, exhausted, opened that big, heavy door of the Department of Philosophy and immediately this view opened up in front of me. This is Prague, I thought, it would be impossible in any other city around the world.

Hi! Thank you so much for your wonderful entry. It will get featured in tomorrow's challenge. Have a great day. Tomas

Wow, it's so unbelievable! Děkuju! :)

At Old Town Square in Prague there are many street artists doing all different types of performances. I found some people playing with soap bubbles, this fact together with the light at that moment, helped me to get this interesting image.

Beautiful view of the Prague Castle in distance during a nice colorful sunset on a warm summer evening in 2016. The passing boat Vysehrad on the Vltava Rivara only added to the romantic atmosphere of that night. I remember the moment as if it was yesterday.

Pretty epic! Thank you so much for your submission. Tomas

View of the Czech Switzerland National Park from a boat taken by a terrible old phone camera during a terrible weather on a cloudy, freezing day in November 2014. Yet, the beauty of this area is still there I think :) We were on a cruise from the Czech town of Decin to the German city of Dresden.

Despite all the terrible conditions it does make a nice entry for the challenge. Have a good one. Tomas

Hello Tomas, once again congratulations on your 5k milestone reached! Keep up the good work!

On my photo of the day you can see beautiful and peaceful renaissance courtyard inside the Telč castle from one of its terrace that is open to public. In the middle of the four cone shaped trees is a small fish pond.

Thanks ever so much! Truly apreciated:).... Thank you for your entry. Tomas

In the summer of 2017 I made a city trip to Prague! It was an awesome weekend with the best weather! While I was taking this photo I was standing on the Old Townhall Tower. You can see the national gallery and the Jan Hus monument in the photo! I just made a post about this unforgettable past travel today! :)

I made this photograph only two days ago. It’s a photo from Jested and we can see view on Liberec that is surrounded by mist. Last week was ideal for everybody who loves skiing. There is plenty of new natural snow. There are also good conditions for photographers because nature with white clothing is beautiful here.

This is really an incredible picture! Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you! :)

What a view! Thank you for sharing. Tomas

Spectacular view from the Prague castle. My girlfriend is sitting on the fence of the Garden on the Ramparts. This garden was designed by a Slovenian architect Jožef Plečnik.

Thank you so much for your participation and a great pic!

Gothic? Yes, I like gothic. She has her own special mood. And still it can be photographed even in the worst weather. Is it rainy and rainy outside? Excellent! Pictures will be even more atmospheric.
Well, where is the most gothic place? That's right it's Kutná Hora!
Kutna Gora

Very spooky:).... Great shot.

This picture is the top of the St Lawrence Church from the back. I took it while I was heading up the hill to check out Petrin Tower. The sun was setting and I got a little golden hour in it, which is nice.

I captured this photo on our way to the Charles Bridge which is a historic place in Prague. The buildings in the photo are on a place called Staroměstské náměstí or Old town square. From this area, you can also see some old architectures.

You can check my post for a larger image. Thanks!!!

Thank you so much for your participation and great entry. Have a good one. Tomas

This is one of the Prague's amazing views where the architecture along the river and the bridges across it make such a complex and perfect combination of an epic city! It looks like a close friendship between nature and the city.

I visited Prague a year ago. I decided spontaneously to buy a bus ticket for about $15 CAD. The ride was 9 hours and felt pretty long but it was my first real solo trip and I was excited. Took this photo on the Lennon wall, people were adding their mark with spray paint- I bet by now there is layer 1 metre deep of paint.

We decided to take one of these boats to tour around the river in Prague but unfortunately the timing was not right for us so we had to pass on this activity. For those traveling to Prague, definitely try to get one of these boats to enjoy the scenery around Prague and the river. Congrats again for your milestone (even though I have mentioned it in your other post)

Even if the weather was not so good yesterday, I took this picture with beautiful colors. This is obviously the Charles Bridge with the Prague Castle in the back (so nothing original in this picture :p). I took this picture from the Karlovy Lazne tram stop. And for the record, this is my phone wallpaper now :D

The "Masne Kramy" (Butcher’s shop) (Krajinská str. 13) is nowadays a restaurant in České Budějovice, where you can enjoy the local cuisine and drawn beer from Budweiser Budvar Brewery. The foundations of the present brick building of a basilica ground-plan come from the 2nd half of the 16th century. At that time there were butcher shops in the building. In 1899 the building was turned into small shops with various goods. Later in 1953 the building was reconstructed into a restaurant. On 1st October 1954, the Masné krámy restaurant was officially opened to the public.

This is me with my friends Tomas from Germany and Meagan from the States in November 2017. We walked the city, shopped, hung out, and drank 70 cent beers. One of my favorite cities for sure. Prague. :)

Randomly came across this very strange yet captivating monument or piece of artwork while in Prague. The statues lose a little bit of themselves the further back they get. I didn't realize while I was there but found out later it was a memorial for political prisoners who were affected by communism.

This photo I shot near the Museum Kampa in summer 2016. Museum Kampa is a modern art gallery in Prague. In my opinion very modern and the deep meaning. Сhildren are the flowers of life. What do you think @czechglobalhosts?
