WARNING: The use of images that are not your own on which you claim the ownership will be flagged - HELPING TO STOP PLAGIARISM ON STEEMIT


Hello fellow Steemians,

I hope you are all excited about the upcoming weekend! :) 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 @narchuk:

If it's overcast in the street and it's snowing, it's not an excuse to sit at home. Snow can make an amazing transformation. The world around becomes like a pencil drawing. I was lucky to have visited Ceský Krumlov at different times of the year. But I can not choose when I liked more. But in the winter it was certainly magical.

When we arrived in Prague and walked through the city for the first time everything was dark and foggy. It was almost like in a vampire movie to walk across the Charles Bridge with its beautiful statues and i will never forget the silent and mystic atmosphere when the Lesser Town Bridge Tower slowly revealed its beauty through the fog.

Welcome to the challenge! You have made quite an entrance with your amazing image. It will get featured in today's edition as a welcoming entry. Tomas

Woohoo i'm really exited that i got featured on your blog!
Thank you very much, it really means a lot to me Tomas!
Just one little thing. I'm male and not female ;)

Karlštejn Castle is one of the most famous and most frequently visited castles in the Czech Republic. It is located one hour ride from Prague and another 20-minute walk uphill.The castle is also famous as a set to a comedy play Night at Karlštejn Castle.

What an amazing place for a day trip out of Prague! Highly recommended.

Side view shot of the St. Vitus Cathedral taken in winter 2015. Located right next to the Prague Castle, this iconic church is one of the most famous religious buildings in Prague as well as the whole country. The very origins of this majestic building date back to 930.

St. Nicholas Church is one of Prague's most beautiful churches. The impressive Baroque church stands in Mala Strana, Prague's old town. When I was visiting Prague, I passed this beautiful church every day on my way from my hostel to Charles Bridge or to the next tram stop.

Brilliant picture and from a very different angle than most.

This morning I came back to the Hluboká Castle again after a long time. All visitors take pictures of the entrance gate of the castle and there are lots of such pictures. When he's taking a picture, I'm trying to make a different look than usual.

Very close to Turnov you can find Šťastná země. It is a great place for children. Full of slides, trampoline, aqua zorbing and a lot of other things. On the picture is an imitation of Castle Trosky.

The astronomical dial

The astronomical dial is part of The Orloj, the famous Astronomical Clock on the wall of the old Town Hall. This is the oldest part of the clock and was made in 1410. The dial represents the position of the sun and the moon in the sky. Note the skeleton on the side, which represents the death.

Great close up pic!

A Different Way To Enjoy The Theatre

Taken from the same Kampa Park as yesterday's picture I posted, only looking ESE across the river instead of NE towards Charles Bridge, I managed to capture these two anonymous lovers enjoying the brisk air and beautiful view of the Národní divadlo (National Theatre) from across the Vltava River.

Wonderful photograph @narchuk; thanks for sharing! And a big thanks again to @czechglobalhosts for running these little contests.

Great image, I love it. Also thank you for your positive feedback. Tomas

One more classic view of Prague taken in a sunny summer day. In the foreground you can see the Wallenstein Garden. Moreover, the Charles Bridge and the historic building of National Theater are well seen also.

Beautiful image with very vibrant colors.

The St. Vitus’s Cathedral is the seat of the Archbishop of Prague. It is a symbol of Gothic architecture and is the largest and most important church in the country. The cathedral is situated entirely within the Prague Castle complex. I decided to compose the photo in such (B&W) a way that it adds to the mysterious and majestic appeal.

Beautiful image! Thank you so much for sharing. Tomas

For today entry I have prepared another photo from Prague. On this picture we can see Žižkovský vysílač - Žižkov Television Tower. It is 216 meters tall. It was built between 1985 and 1992. The building is little bit controversial because the Old Olšan Jewish Cemetery was destroyed because of it.

When in Prague you need to explore by foot and sometimes walk to explore the non-tourist areas. Here is an awesome view of Charles Bridge from a different angle on our stroll next to the river.

Hi Steemians, this is Karlštejn, a large Gothic castle that you can find only 30 km from Prague! It was founded by the famous Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor-elect and King of Bohemia. Definitely worth visiting!

I guess Karlstejn is fairly popular today which does not surprise me at all. Thank you so much for sharing. Tomas

Hi Tomas, it's my favourite castle in the Czech Republic and so close to Prague and Velka Amerika as well:) Next time, I might share a pic from Velka Amerika.

Dinosaur Park in Prague - a park with "live" dinosaurs, making sounds and moving giant lizards ...)
Shopping center «Gallery Harfa», on the roof of which is located «Dinopark». Even from the exit-entrance of the metro you can see two huge figures of dinosaurs on the roof. We rise on the elevator in the Shopping Center to the last floor and we leave on the roof. Having bought a ticket, the cost of which is about 6-8 euros per person, we enter the Dinopark through the turnstiles.

Photo of a typical view of Prague. You can see at the background the St. Vitus Cathedral at the Castle, on the Vltava River, the famous Charles Bridge. In the foreground a Renaissance style building which hosts the Smetana Museum, and the image shows its reflections on the river.

Here is a picture of a face on the side of a buildings near Town Hall in Old Town. I don't really remember what buildings but i thought the face was pretty cool.

I really love challenges like this, but the problem is i can't compete, cos i've never been to czech. And i believe in originality, so i wouldn't want to download someone's post off the internet.

@czechglobalhosts Garden that harmonizes with nature without damaging nature
I think it is a proud Korean culture that never lingers anywhere in the world.
I have not seen all the gardens of the world, but in my opinion it is certainly one of the best gardens in the world
