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 @itchyfeetdonica:

I visited Prague a few years ago. One afternoon I started strolling the charming streets full of classical buildings west of the Vltava river, later I walked up some steps to a hilltop, then I got this stunning view of Golden Prague at sunset. Seems the best moments happen when they are unplanned.

I've posted different versions from here before, but I cannot stress enough to anyone visiting Prague for the first time. Go to Letná Park! You will see the most incredible view of the city from here. On top of that, it's a lovely park where locals jog and walk their dogs while tourists (like me) take an excessive number of photos. It's time very well spent.

I love your photo descriptions Matt, I wouldnt describe it better myself, although I lived in Prague for a couple of years. Impressive shot btw, taken from one my favorite spots for panoramic photos :) I wrote about another one (unknown to tourists) yesterday. I think you will like that one too (its called Divci Hrady), check it out on your next Prague trip ;)

nice pictures @schmidthappens , looks like a beautiful city
:)

When you visit Cesky Krumlov, climb up a small hill and go to the castle. You can walk through the castle and gardens for free. climb the main tower for awesome views of Cesky Krumlov. i did interior castle tour of the rooms which was amazing. It's a lot of people, but if you go up then you can see the whole town coming in at once.

Thank you so much for your lovely story and a great picture. It will get feature as an entry to today's edition. Have a great day. Tomas

National Gallery in Prague is the largest and most important art institution in the Czech Republic. Veletržní Palace is iconic cultural monument located in Prague's Holešovice district. It is fantastic modern and contemporary art collection with works of famous artists like Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Klimt, Renoir and others.

White peacock posing on a fountain in the Valdstejn Garden, one of the most famous gardens in Prague. Created in the first half of the 17 the century, in parallel with the Valdstejn Palace, the garden is famous for meticulous symmetry and geometrical design. Image taken in summer 2015 during my sister´s graduation.

I love the ceiling in one of the rooms inside Prague Castle I will continuing sharing more of it. This is another side of the ceiling. What amazes me is that all of these pictures are all unique are different. Will share some of the individual pictures of them shortly.

On the photo you can see the Calendar that is part of The Prague astronomical clock (Prague orloj). The huge circular board with more than two metres in diameter was made of copper. It turns clockwise. The other calendar board is not rotary and you can view the municipal sign of Prague with golden fortifications and towers on it. The calendar board was made by the artist Josef Mánes in 1865. However, his board was later stored in the Prague City Museum and was replaced by the copy by Jan Kryštof Liška.

Another great close up with extended information of Orloj today. Thank you so much!

Here is Prague during sunset. You can see the Petrin Lookout Tower in the center of the picture and off to the right you can see Prague Castle. This picture is taken from atop Town Hall where the Astronomical clock is.

I like to be close with animals. To exchange views with them. Trying to find something common. Not everywhere it is possible. On this, I really appreciate such opportunities. So I spent more than one hour on the bank of the Vltava with swans. I talked and fed them. And of course I watched how others do it.
Swan at Prague

Awesome close-up! Btw, wasnt the photo taken here? :D My fav swan spot ;)

Ha-ha)
It seems to me that there I was, too)
But this swan is exactly Prague.

This site is located in Kutná Hora, in the Czech Republic, each place, each place and at each moment you feel a tranquility for all the beauty that is in it. The culture of this place is very beautiful.

Great place to walk around.....especially in the off season when the town is empty. Thank you for sharing your pic. Tomas

Long exposure of Legions' Bridge and Prague Castle. There is a small island, directly under the bridge where this photo was taken on the bank. Everything just lined up perfectly. I remember standing there, just staring for a long time and was about to leave when i remembered I had my camera with me. Ha! I almost forgot to snipe this photo. I find this happening a lot, where I get caught up in the beauty of a scene, and complete forget to capture it. I wonder if I'm the only one this happens to.

What a great entry, thank you so much for sharing!

For one of the best views of Prague, head to the Charles Bridge, which I think is considered the most famous bridge of all of Czech Republic. The bridge for me is encapsulation of Prague as a medieval metropolis. Beautiful historical buildings all around. It can get crowded, but the views are very rewarding!

A perfect cityscape in my opinion includes water, architecture and birds. The birds are always suggesting dinamism and make the city alive. Prague makes no exception, birds are on the water and in the air like some living decorations.

What a grate image! Thank you for sharing!

The Calendar dial


The famous medieval astronomical clock on the wall of the Old Town City Hall is composed of three main components: the astronomical dial, the figures of the Apostles and other moving sculptures, and this calendar dial. Each symbol represent one month. It is very detailed and very beautiful.

Wow! Thank you so much for the great infor and a perfect close up!

The Kamp Museum, which is dedicated to the art of the Czech Republic of the 20th century.
The museum hosts exhibitions of contemporary artists and sculptors. Inside, I did not go, and in the courtyard of the museum I walked with pleasure. I also saw a blue man here. If I'm not mistaken, this is another sculpture of David the Black.

One of the best place to have a beer in Prague (or something else, it's just that I love beer :p)! You can have a view of the Old Town Square in a bar without any tourist. It's called the Scout Institute and it's really cheap for the location (40 CZK for the beer)!

I might have to find that place one day:)

The Dancing House is one of my favorites modern buildings of Prague. It was built in the 90's. In this panoramic photo it can seen in context with the Vltava River and the two neighbouring bridges.

I also fav dancing house...love it

On the way to Strahov Monastery, I took this picture after a rainy day. It is beautiful to see this green gap between city and the monastery. All the supporting buildings of the monastery are below, vineyards on the left and bee hives on the right.
And beautiful Prague city in the front.

Hi @czechglobalhosts

Cerna Nisa


This photo was made near Czech river Cerna Nisa, which is only 14 km long, but surrounding area is really beautiful. It is ideal for walks with your dog or just to refresh your mind in charming nature.This is specifically area of Bedrichov.

Wandering the streets of Prague, during a solo trip a few years ago, I was delighted to come across modern architecture. Despite my love for the Gothic, this Brutalist gem was a welcome bit on my eyes.

Today I managed to photograph this defensive tower in České Budějovice, which was part of the former city walls. This tower is called the Rabenstein Tower. It has Gothic origins and was rebuilt several times. He currently hosts an exhibition of historical weapons and armor.
