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 @liltammy:

My @phortun :) sitting on a bench in front of one some 80 beautifullly decorated wine cellars found in Petrov - Plze in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. The vineyard complex has a tradition dating back to as far as the 15th century.

My favorite old town, Cesky Krumlov
This place is just wonderful. Get a real feeling of what it was like to live here, like stepping back in time. Exploring the narrow cobblestone streets to see the huge variety of colorful, historical buildings is the best things to do here.

This is such a cool looking city. Great shot.

There is not probably a day when Cesky Krumlov is not entered into the contest. It has also been featured on numerous occasions but it would be shame not to feature yours since it truly is stunning. Thank you and have a great day.

One of the courtyards with two historic canons at the White Chateau, a part of the chateau complex in the little Silesian town of Hradec nad Moravici. Because of its beautiful appearance, the chateau is a very popular place for weddings and other festive events.

More of an avenue than a city square, the Wenceslas Square is still a historic and important piece of Prague. Lively in day and beautiful at night. Take a leisure walk here, or rest on a bench while people watching. Don't forget the St. Wenceslas statue at the southeast end of the square.

I love walking around in old medieval cities and Cesky Krumlov is offering exactly this experience. Leave all stress behind and just enjoy the beauty around you. Worth to visit the castle and all the village, full dedicated to tourism. You can also canoe in the river.

This morning I was 300 miles away from my place of residence. I took some pictures for you and I will post them here. A little tip for traveling. The Jeseníky Mountains and the town of Jeseník, as a starting point for excursions to the surrounding mountains. Today, I'm presenting you a picture of the local town hall.

Charles Bridge
Absolutely stunning. It was amazing to be here as the view from the bridge is wonderful. If you come here early morning it’s not rush. Afternoon it’s very crowded. You can discover Mala Stana area also and by traditional ice cream and candy and by souvenirs. A must see attraction in Prague even if it's only one day visit.

St. Nicholas Church
It is located in the Old Town Square. Outside is decorated with statues of saints. Inside the interiors are painted in light and gold colors, which on a sunny day create together with the light penetrating through the windows, a sunny mood. A beautiful church, in which one must always look. The church is located in a beautiful place, interesting architecture. Get great pictures.

Prague itself is quite a quiet and calm city, but full of contrasts. The area of ​​Naměstí Miru is a small island with a medieval spirit. St. Ludmila Cathedral reminds of those distant times when the cathedral was not approached to take a picture, but to find comfort. The entrance to the cathedral is free.

In this hiking trip we will visit two remarkable outlooks overlooking the valley of the Vltava river - the Smetana Prospect and the May sightseeing. We will cross the road and lead by a yellow tourist sign along the field path towards Smetana's prospect. After 300 meters on the outskirts of "In Zahradky", the rudders lead right to the field footpath, after which we reach beautiful Smetana's prospect.

In Prague you always feel a bit out of your time, and in this square the feeling is very strong, between the astronomical clock, the artists and the stalls in the square and the church spiers. This clock is worth all the hype. While we did not see it actually perform, it is still very unique and beautiful. Ah, its history.

St. Vitus Cathedral
This a very beautiful, huge cathedral. It is hard to describe the beauty of its stained glass windows, altars, and architecture. We saw this Cathedral as part of the Sandemans free walking tour of Prague and the explanation of its history and construction over many years was very informative.

Prague_as_Seen_from_the_Vineyard_m.jpg

The towers of Prague Castle as seen from the vineyard below my hotel room. Maybe an hour before heading back to the airport I had the time to make a shot from a distance as the Sun began its descent towards the horizon.

Old town Square in Prague is huge with gorgeous sculptures and architecture all around. There is a church, astronomical clock as major tourist attractions. It is also a popular hub of fine restaurants Italian, or Czech. You can explore all streets leading to unique charms and treasures- example one to Charles bridge, another crystal artefacts, exhibits, museums etc.

The Famous Charles Bridge
A place you can not miss while visiting Prague. Interestingly enough, the number of times I visit him, I always meet a newly married couple as they are photographed on it :)
This is certainly one of the most beautifull bridges in Europe and certainly hasto be visited on a beautifull evening!

Hello! Since you are new to my contest and there is nothing on your blog I will need you to provide an ownership of this image. Thank you for your understanding and have a great day. Tomas
