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 @magnata:

I visited St. Barbara's Cathedral as part of the Express Tour "Kutna Hora - Kostnitsa - Sternberg". The cathedral has a long history of construction. It began to build more than 600 years ago, then it was stopped to build, then rebuilt. Finally completed the temple only in 1905. St. Barbara's Cathedral struck me with its refinement and refinement. He is so beautiful that he can not leave indifferent. No wonder this cathedral is considered the fourth most beautiful cathedral in Europe, yielding this place only to Prague's Saint Vitus Cathedral.

View of a part of the Pruhonice Chateau as seen through the Pruhonice Park. Boasting the status of the National Cultural Monument of the Czech Republic since 2010, the Pruhonice Park is one of the largest and most beautiful natural places in Prague.

That looks like a great place to visit that I do have to check out myself at one point. Thank you so much for sharing and have a great day.

Close-up view of the Zizkov Tower, one of the most famous and distinctive pieces of modern architecture in Prague. The babies crawling on it are artwork by David Cerny, a renowned but a bit controversial Czech artist.

Monument of Božena Němcová (1820-1862) , the most read writer in Czech language. Her most known novel is “The grandmother”, which was written in the romantic style.
Usually when we visit as a tourist a city, many times we say monuments that are ignored by the majority of tourists. However this is an interesting opportunity for learning more about the culture and the history of the country.

This is a photo of my much beloved rotary valve flugel horn. I stopped for one day in Brno and found this gem at a music store for 75 Euros. The carriage on the rotary valve was missing a screw and it needed a good tuneup. Upon returning to the USA I had it repaired and it is my favored horn. This day in Brno is such a great memory for me.

Photo was taken in Prague where the cobblestones and moss were just calling out for a photograph.
