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 @rockmen:
Bone Church or Sedlec Ossuary has a very unique vibe to it. Being a non christian, it was surprising to see human bones used for decorating a church which till recent past was being used for prayers too. You will be part awkward, part mesmerized and part astonished soaking into this amazing place. The church is filled with human bones of all sizes and body parts, stacked in decorative pieces and heaps. The central chandelier is said to have all bones of human body used in making. Its amazing to think that each bone has been painstakingly cleaned and decorated (mostly by drilled wires or nails) to be a part of larger scheme.
I rewarded @rockmen 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!

St Barbara's is one of the most famous Gothic churches in central Europe and is a UNESCO world heritage site. Construction began in 1388 and completed in 1905.
St Barbara is the patron saint of miners, which is highly appropriate for a town whose wealth was based upon its silver mines. We enjoyed our visit to the church, the outside views are stunning.

A classic view of Charles Bridge from the north-west side. In this spot is very frequent to get swans and ducks. The image shows the reflection of the bridge and the Old Town Bridge Tower on the waters of the Vltava River.

Former Archangel Michael Church, Old Town, Prague
Another church without crosses on towers ... The church was built in the mid-12th century as a romanesque, in the 14th century it was gothicized, in the mid-18th century it was baroqueized. And during the reign of Emperor Joseph II. canceled.
There is a music club now.

A colorful picturesque beauty
Cesky Krumlov
Diamond hidden. The map does not attract attention. Nor is it internationally known for a product characteristic. In the South of Europe we grow up and study without even hearing it. And yet a visit - even brief - is enough to take its place in our memory and heart into the list of the most beautiful places that have seen our eyes in this world.

Very fascinating and chilling place. Even more during an evening visit when it starts to get dark outside. Underground ossuary is a small chapel but still majestic and filled with respect, peace, hope and a bit of light through the windows. You can feel its memento mori (remember the death) message very well.

The Cathedral of St. Vitus is very beautiful. Perhaps the most beautiful of them all. The entrance ticket allows you to enter the cathedral and expose you to ancient history. Standing there You can feel the power of a religious leader. The painting of Virgin Mary holds Jesus surrounded by saints. This painting from 1380 was exposed on the southern wall in 1869. The mention of possible contributors to the financing of the painting challenges the thought as many exhibits in the cathedral. Worth every moment.

I took this photo on the embankment of the Tepla river in the city of Karlovy Vary. This sand sculpture was located near the Mlyn colonnade and hot springs of healing water. For January, the sculpture was in good condition, although it was a little showered.

The Vrtba Garden
Many times I was in Prague, but my legs were brought here for the first time. The garden is a magnificent, small pearl of Prague crowded with sights and tourists. In the garden there are visitors, but not many. Retire not work out, but in the back of the head do not breathe. The garden consists of several terraces decorated with flower beds, trees, a vineyard. There is a fountain and a small observation deck at the top. View of Prague is gorgeous.

St. Barbara's Church
The cathedral is in a place with spectacular views, it has no buildings attached which makes it look more impressive. Inside there are stained glass windows from the beginning of the twentieth century, which makes it look more modern, it is not worth entering it is more beautiful to stay and admire it outside because it is expensive.

The astronomical clock in Prague was one of the most astonishing structures that I saw in my trip to Europe.
Built in 1410, this clock shows an astronomical dial along with a calendar dial and the figures on the clock set in motion every hour (which is also an attraction spot for tourists). The 4 figures on the face of the wall represent Vanity, Greed, Death and Lust. Legend says that the city will suffer if this clock is ignored by the people.

Ceske Krumlov is a beautiful, parochial, medieval city. Its historic center is full of Gothic buildings and romantic alleys ideal for strolling. Very beautiful is the castle of the city and the view from above.

Quarries that formerly formed wounds in the land of our country are later flooded with water and transformed into charming lakes that decorate and complement the landscape.
This lake can be found in Hradec near Stod in the south of Pilsen region.
Kamenolomy, které dříve tvořily rány v krajině naší země se později zatápějí vodou a přetváří v půvabná jezera, která krajinu zdobí a dotvářejí.
Toto jezero najdeme v Hradci u Stoda na jižním Plzeňsku.

The one who drinks (alcohol), dies. The other, who doesn't dies also.
This is one of a few mottos of the Stopka pub at Ceska 5 in Brno, written on sgrafitto. The pictures on the building were painted in 1911. In 2011 there was a reconstruction of the building, the new floor doesn't suit to it at all.
