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.
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.
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 @krakonos:
Old-New Synagogue, Josefov, Prague. This 13th-century Gothic synagogue is the oldest preserved synagogue in Europe. (Older buildings destroyed by the Nazis.) In the background, there is a two-hour Jewish Town Hall. The upper ones are uninteresting. Lower with Hebrew digits go backwards.
I rewarded @krakonos entry with some extra upvote. Feel free to visit his blog and check out some of his other entries.
Thank you for your submissions. Have a great day and keep on Steeming!

Cesky Krumlov is one of those small medieval towns that you simply must fall in love with once you visit it. The castle offers breathtaking views of the old town underneath it and in return old town offers even more breathtaking views of the castle above. Amazing place for a day trip!
I am coming with another spring greeting today. This is the marsh-marigold, a small perennial herbaceous plant of the buttercup family, native to marshes and wetland of the Northern Hemisphere. I took this close-up in a forest in the Moravian - Silesian Region of the Czech Republic last year.
Charles Bridge, a marvelous, beautiful place that gives way to one of the most beautiful medieval cities. you can enjoy the beautiful views of the river, city and castle, beautiful panorama night view and day also. see its architecture, commerce, everything is absolutely wonderful.
The Dancing House, as it is known, is just what they say: Two buildings simulating a dance, with modern architecture in the middle of the city of ancient architecture, which makes the work seem architecturally displaced. However, the construction is well done, and indeed looks like a dance. Climb up to the roof for a beautiful view of Prague, especially in the late afternoon as I did.
The Eye Clinic in Zlín is the largest eye clinic in the Czech Republic with an area exceeding 5,000 m2, where there are six eye operating theatres and more than 10 lasers. The team of specialists is headed by MUDr. Pavel Stodůlka, Ph.D. an eye surgeon with many years of experience.
Church of St. Salvator, Old Town, Prague
The church was built by Prague Lutherans in Renaissance style. It was completed in 1614. But then the Thirty Years' War came. Non-Catholics were expelled from Bohemia.
The church was given to Catholic monks - paulians. They rebuilt it in the Baroque style. Emperor Joseph II. canceled paulians. The church was deconsecrated and used until 1857 as a mint.
In 1863 the Evangelical Church bought it. And he still uses it.
The Petrin Tower is on the West side of the River Vlatava and overlooks Prague from a great height. Take a 22 tram round the back of the Palace, go through the Monastery and have a beer and some lunch, then a 15 min walk to the Tower. You dont have to climb the Tower if the queues are big because if you walk on past and down the hill a little way, you will find at the second stop of the railway a restaurant, also a good outdoor cafe and viewing area, sit and enjoy the sunshine and the view which is really good. Toilets there too. Don't forget to have a valid and validated metro ticket for the railway 5 minute journey down to the street level and the trams, with you, or you WILL be fined.
Powder Tower is historic monument and is happening area adjoining to Municipal house. Its one the 13 original old city gate which separates old town from the new town. The gate was used to store gunpowder in the 17th century, hence the name Powder Tower or Powder Gate.
Cesky Krumlov is a small town that is 180 km from Prague, you can reach it by train or by truck. Without a doubt it is one of the best preserved Medieval Cities in the world, walking through its streets is like taking a trip through time. The city presents buildings with Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque medieval architecture, among which its castle and the Baroque theater of the castle stand out.
Thank you, Tomas, for extra upvote!
Pleasure is all mine, thank you for your continuous support. Have a great day.
