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 @ritxi:
At the intersection of Jánská and Minoritská Streets in Brno, there stands a church dedicated to two Saint Johns – St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist. This church is the originally Gothic Minorite monastery from 1257. It was rebuilt in the baroque style by Moritz Grimm between 1729 and 1733. Next to the church there is a beautiful Loreto Chapel. Ahoj!

Here's my entry :) Thanks for the Saturday motivation!
Few years ago, I decided to not throw birthday parties anymore, but to go to destinations I've never been before. Prague, the so beautiful, and as it appeared to me, the amazing capital of the Czech Republic was one of the first locations I visited under this "project" :) I knew the old capital is very beautiful, as a photographer I have seen lots of pictures from there, but one of my main goals was to photograph the "Dancing House" at night. On Internet, I've mainly saw daytime photos and I imagined how stunning it would be at night. And I was right! I spent several hours that night, making long-exposure photos of it and this one above is one of my favorite ;)
I almost forgot to mention something funny: that night, there was a party on the roof (the glowing blue thing on top) and there were many people dancing! It looked like they were enchanted by the brave architecture of the building. :D
I hope you like it!

Incredible shot! Welcome to the contest man, I hope we will see more photos from you here :)
Thank you so much, @phortun! I love travel photography and I have tons of photos, hopefully I'll have more time to keep up with the great photo challenges I find on Steemit :) Have a great Sunday!
Path lined with trees in a park right next to the Straznice Chateau, one of the most dominant features of the little town of Straznice. Located in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic, some 15 km outside of the town of Hodonin, Straznice is home to 5,600 people.
Saint Francis Borgia
Statue by Ferdinand Borkoff
Four days ago I was crossing Charles Bridge on the way to the Apple Museum in Prague when I noticed you could just about see the sun through the heavy mist and light clouds that were just beginning to clear up.
By under-exposing my iPhone7 camera a bit, I could create a ping-pong ball out of the sun and have some fun with the statues on the bridge. Below is my entry for this contest but some of the rest of the photos can be seen here: Celestial Games
Saint Francis Borgia was a relative of Cesare Borgia and is believed by some to be Leonardo Da Vinci's model when depicting the image of Jesus Christ popular today.
Wow, this is very cool! I love your creativity here. Awesome job.
Thank you @phortun :)
Prague is an amazing city, not like other European cities. Cozy streets, the smell of trdelnik (sooo tasty buns), beautiful architecture, delicious food and relatively low prices.
Perhaps it should first of all be noted that airplanes from my city fly to Prague daily. Prague can also be reached by train, but this is the choice of your taste and wallet and from which country you are.
Upon arrival, we immediately went for a walk around the city. Tours do not like to take, so the map in hand, a guide and go!
First of all, of course, we went to Charles Bridge. I would not say that he caused a special delight, but the view from there is very beautiful. Next we went to the Old Town Square, where the famous astronomical clock.
I want to note that in Prague the main attractions are within walking distance.
August 2018: Prague. Old Town Square, with the enlightened and beautiful Tyn Church in the background rising in the dark skies of one of our last nights in this beautiful city.
There was a really unusual building on Rašínovo nábřeží, after the initial impression that something was wrong, it seemed that something unusual happened, rather than the Dancing House I like the name Ginger and Fred, and the house really reminds the dancing couple. In the building of cultural events and various exhibitions, the top bar, and of course the glass-covered walls, a magnificent view.
Wallenstein Palace Gardens, One of my favorite parts of Prague!
Very unassuming and not well advertised, this is such a refreshing gem in the hot and crowded city. Loved walking around the fountains and perfectly manicured gardens. Much history here as well. Highly recommend a stop in!
Prague Castle
I am always impressed and amazed, what have people been able to build earlier. Just by stacking stones on each other, working stone, wood and iron with your hand. This is one of those buildings. Imposing and difficult to see, because is a fairly long way up.
Climbing to the Castle and entering St. Vitus Cathedral is a must. You can enter the Cathedral but you will have to pay to access the total space. If you can not afford it, in spite of everything you can get the idea of the interior of this religious building. But I strongly advise you to pay to be able to observe in detail every nook and cranny of the Cathedral.
