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.

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 @phortun:
Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross - the most dominant landmark of the little Silesian village of Chuchelna. Home to just some 1,300 people, the village is located very close to the Czech - Polish border in the Moravian - Silesian Region of the Czech Republic.

Thank you so much for featuring my photo Tomas! :)
Today, I am coming with this image of a church found in the historic center of Krnov. Located at the foothills of the Jeseniky Mountains in the Moravian - Silesian Region of the Czech Republic, the town of Krnov is home to about 24,000 people and it boasts numerous impressive pieces of architecture.
Streets of Prague
The cityscapes, the grand buildings with unique architecture, the famous pieces of art - those are the first things we care about usually. But when we have the time to get tired of those - then it's more about our personal view. Do we feel we saw it all? Do we want to go deeper?
To me a place is also a setting. For movies, for dramas, but also for simply living, for getting connected to the local atmosphere. Some prefer bars or shopping centers. I prefer the streets. And sometimes at night I can even feel carried back in time - a century or two... or more. There is always something mysterious about each night. The streets are a perfect setting for us to sense it.
Excursions around the Old Town traditionally have the deepest impression, because every guest of Prague is attracted by historical valuable objects, lively spaces of Romanesque and Gothic houses, romantic interlacing of narrow streets. Undoubtedly, the most popular sight of the Old Town is the Old Town Hall with chimes. Every hour in front of the town hall tower crowds of tourists gather to see how the figures of the apostles and other mechanical parts of the chimes move.
A large number of Gothic churches and a number of majestic houses and palaces testify to the fact that this part of Prague has long been the heart of the city.
Queen Anne's Summercastle, part of the Prague Castle complex, view from the East
Summercastle was built between 1538 and 1565. The most interesting use was during the reign of Emperor Rudolf II. 1576 - 1611. Part of Rudolf's art collection here was placed.
Do you see two holes in the base of a summerhouse? There was the first ZOO in Prague! Rudolph II. received from the Persian Ruler a living lion as agift. Here the lion was breeded. According to rumor, lion died on the same day as Emperor Rudolf.
I miss those days that I stayed at Czech. I took some satisfactory photos. The night view of Prague is very charming. To get the blue sky background and asteriated light I waited for streetlights on and took the picture with slow shutter and small aperture. The picture is night view of Charles Bridge and Prague Castle.
The view of Loket featured in Casino Royale. The camera actually pans down from behind the pillar, but I wasn't quite that tall! 😉 While taking the photo I was standing next to the Column of the Holy Trinity that was visible in the scene with Bond and Vesper arriving to the village.
Historic Center of Cesky Krumlov
What a charming town to visit! We had a wonderful time wondering this beautiful and historic town. For a small town it offers many things to see. This town has a lot to offer. There are many historic sights to see, places to eat and a wonderland for photographers. So many sights within such a small area.
Prague is such a unique and stunning city. The old town square is huge. Stand in middle and look around every corner there’s beauty surrounding you. It’s buzzing with tourists from morning to night but big enough spaces for all to enjoy and take it all in. This square is one of the most beautiful in the world. Every where you look you see something amazing.
The photo of the mill wheel on the Devil's Stream connecting Mala Strana to the Kampa Island, I took it in the evening from the Charles Bridge. Illuminata is very impressive and beautiful.
