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 @cryp1:

The Old Town Hall in Prague's Old Town Square is one of the most significant monuments in the Czech Republic. It was established in 1338 as the administrative seat for Prague's Old Town. Now, it is mainly used for the ceremonial purposes of the capital city, Prague. The historical town hall consists of a set of five medieval houses, the corner of which is adorned with a historical astronomical clock, a gothic oriel window and a massive rectangular tower. The lookout gallery on the town hall tower offers the most beautiful view of Prague.

Hi fellow steemians, here is a different perspective on the old town of Kutna Hora in Czech Republic. Riana and I explored this silver mine as part of a guided tour when we were visiting. Quite an exciting experience.

I am sure that is a exciting thing to do. Unfortunately, I did not get to do that while in town but would definitely recommend it to others as that is what made Kutna Hora what it is today. This will make a great entry for today's contest. Have a great weekend. Tomas

Beautiful golden sunset over the Silesian landscape as seen and captured during my bike trip from the village od Radun to the city of Opava a few days ago. The tree silhouette on the left is a dried-up plum tree and there is a corn field on the right (also dried-up, unfortunately).

This is such a great picture. The golden sky looks so awesome with those clouds.

Thanks Wes. It was a very nice scenery...

Front view of the Holy Trinity Church in the Silesian village of Radun. Built in the late 16th and early 17th century, the church is - next to with the local chateau - one of the dominant landmarks of this little village that is found in the Moravian - Silesian Region of the country.

Photo of the Vltava river showing the Charles Bridge, St. Vitus Cathedral. On the right of the image there is the façade of the Smetana museum, which is a Neo-Renaissance palace. We can see its reflection on the river. If you look careful on the let, there is the green dome of St. Nicholas Church. This photo complements my entries of the last days in your contest.

The Old Town Square is located on the Old Town side and is the central, large market square of the Old Town. Here are several great sights; The buildings are one beside the other incredibly beautiful and everything was great restored. In various restaurants and cafes you can stay right on the square and take a breather. Definitely some time to plan, here you can see a lot.

Front fasade of Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul is located on the Petrov hill in the centre of the city of Brno. Also known simply as Petrov :D The highest tower reaches 84-metre-height, which isn't even captured on the photo as I had my hands full capturing this big-ass fasade alone :D

One hundred years ago people lived in this cave. Then they left. And then a small seed fell on the "roof" ... Today, the seed is a mighty tree. Who will win? The rock or the roots of a tree?
We'll learn that for a few decades. Not later than a century. I'll let you know ...

Vrtba Garden
If you want to spend a moment of refreshing tranquility while traveling through tired Prague, and enjoy the unique views of Prague's panoramas, sure to find this place. The few crowns of admission for that surprising splendor definitely stand.

Obviously at night when lit up does look attractive. Beautiful and lively especially at night. This is an excellent, historic square that is as beautiful as any other old square in the world. Must walk around and sit and absorb the sites. Old town square is the centre of where all things radiate.

St. Vitus Cathedral
All the surrounding walls are stained glass, it is a worthy cathedral just to watch it. It was absolutely gorgeous inside. Definitely worth the ticket price by itself. We did not do the South Tower climb, which was an extra on top of our tickets that we only realized after we'd bought them, but the inside tour was still excellent.

Historic Center of Český Krumlov is the old town of this city, which is very-well conserved and really it is awesome! It is very very very beautiful! An excellent place to walk on the tiny streets, buy some gifts, see a lot of historical and very beautiful buildings (houses, churches, etc.), discover great views from the upper places.

Grand Hotel Pupp is a huge structure by the river Tepel that crosses Karlsbad. The hotel is beautiful from the outside and parts of the inside too. The hotel has been thoughtfully renovated and boasts beautiful views over Karlovy Vary's town centre. The hotel nest in the town's main road, with the beautiful view of the town open before the hotel.

Amazing natural beauty, a true paradise, within Prague city limits
Divoká sárka has hills and valleys, stunning rock formations, tall trees, a beautiful meandering creek and many trails. It is a true respite from the touristy, crowded Prague center, a restful and refreshing taste of nature.

Jan Neruda statue at Petrin hill. Jan Nepomuk Neruda was a Czech journalist, writer and poet, the founder of the Czech essay, and one of the most prominent representatives of Czech Realism. This statue can be found in the Petrin Gardens (Petřínské sady) on Petrin Hill.

On the top of Ještěd mountain near Liberec there is a television tower. It's called Ještěd Tower. A building about 100 meters high, witch is a hotel as well. But the most interesting part is that the tower was the central location in the novel "Grand Hotel" by Jaroslav Rudiš. So it's quite famous in many areas.

Loket Castle, because of its thick walls, it is one of the oldest and most valuable historical stone castles in the Czech lands. The best time to visit Loket is summer as nearly everything is better in the warmer weather, but even winter’s cold grip can’t dim its beauty.

Dancing House
Not only is the building a unique picture opportunity, but the rooftop viewing area offers a great vantage point for the nearby Sitkov Water Tower and scenic views of the Vltava River both north and south of the Dancing House. This is also a good location for a view of the Little Quarter with the Prague Castle looming in the distance.
