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 @impi:
The Church of St Nicholas, the most famous Baroque church in Prague. Walking into the nave of St Nicholas church my jaw dropped with the beauty and infinite detail that met my eyes. The ornate decorations of gold, mosaics, stone and art are mesmerizing as you try notice and appreciate every part of it. I have been to many churches in Europe by this one for me definitely stands out.
I rewarded @impi 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!

Karlštejn Castle is a large Gothic castle founded 1348 CE by Charles IV. Located about 30 kilometres southwest of Prague above the village of the same name, it is one of the most famous and most frequently visited castles in the Czech Republic.
Night close-up shot of a part of the Memorial to the Victims of Communism, a series of somewhat spooky statues in Prague commemorating the victims of the communist era between 1948 and 1989. It is located at the base of the Petrin Hill in Prague´s Lesser Town.
Gate to "Stromovka", a free-standing "Garden of Trees", Prague
Stromovka once used to be a royal branch. But the last king lived in Prague in the early 17th century. Stromovka desolate. When the royal hunting lodge was turned into a governor's summer house (in the background). At that time, this neo-Gothic gate was built.
The gate is here to defend ... Now to change the complex on the right - the Russian Embassy in Prague.
Strahov Monastery
A place that is definitely worth a visit. The monastery itself is not of particular interest, but its library is impressive. It can be seen only from the doorstep, but even this will not leave you indifferent. The place is amazing. Spend 20 minutes of your time, you will not regret.
This is a must see location when visiting Pilzen. The photographs that I garnered here turned out extraordinarily well. St. Bartholomew's really imposes itself upon both the geography and the heart and soul of the central city square. The spire soaring into blue skies above made for picture perfect photographs! Awesome view from cathedral.
The Vrtba Garden
Perhaps the most beautiful garden of the city. From that, apparently, it is located so that you do not accidentally come here, although many more people pass by this place than go inside. And because of this, there are no crowds of tourists who are able to trample all this beauty, ride, litter, etc. And thank God, no! I don’t know how many dozens of times I came here for almost 10 years of travel to the Czech Republic, but still it’s nice to come here every time. I will not agitate anyone to come here, since there is already much to see in Prague, but if you suddenly get tired of contemplating the numerous architectural masterpieces of the city and crowds of tourists, you can look here for an hour.
The charles bridge is a very interesting place we seen people from all over the world on this bridge the statues are amazing noticed a lot of peddlers flogging all sorts of stuff and the view onto the river is amazing the czech republic looked a beautiful country the history of prague is superb.
Jacob's square with the St. Jacob's church in Brno is very interesting place. Formerly there used to live rich German speaking Brno citizens. Around the church used to be a cemetery. Now you can visit the second largest ossarium in Europe located under the grout. This place is most lively at night. There are a lot of pubs and many people are drinking their beer outside.
I love the things you come across by the artist David Černý in Prague. They are cheeky, shocking and offensive too. This piece called 'Piss' shows two men pissing on the country of the Czech Republic - who knows why, I suppose of David does.
Beautiful inside of st. Nicholas church and lots of story to tell.
This cathedral is in the central square of Prague, and may even go unnoticed if you are in a hurry. Inside, the architecture impresses by the richness of detail and care in the religious decoration. There is a "mini museum" with a timeline telling the history of the church, and I particularly was very surprised by what the cathedral has already passed and has seen since its foundation centuries and centuries ago. It is simply a symbol of resistance.
