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 @phortun:
View of the Radun Chateau, an impressive Renaissance chateau found in the village of Radun in the Moravian - Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. The chateau premises comprised a brewery, malt-house and a farmstead. It is surrounded by a large landscape park in the English style and an orangery with exotic plants.

Charles Bridge, Prague
I visited Prague in April 2017 for specific goal to make photos of the most interesting landmarks and create Prague photo collection. Ofcourse Charles Bridge is the most famous landmark and it was first in my list. I made this photo in the early morning from low position to emphasise cobblestones.
Great picture.
That is a simply amazing image of the Charles Bridge that is well worth featuring in today´s edition. Bravo!
Thank you so much for featuring my yesterday´s entry, Tomas! :) Today, I am coming with this shot of the Ostrozna Street in Opava. Found in the historic center of the town, it is the busiest and most famous street in the town. However, I took this image early in the morning so there are no people there :)
Water Tower, street U Letenské vodárny, Bubeneč, Prague 7
Apart from the churches, water towers are also the highlights of Prague. This is from 1888 (a neo-Renaissance style). It served until 1913. Then it would be changed to apartments for waterworks employees and after 1948 in offices.
I have a personal memory on the tower. About thirty years ago, I stood there in front of a military detention committee. And I was recognized by the military service capable.
Now there is a tea room on the top floor. There is an interesting view from here.
And watch, the clocks have been broken for a few years and they do not show the right time!
View from Lysá hora
Lysá hora (1323 m) is the highest mountain of the Moravian-Silesian Beskids. The Šance dam visible in the picture is built on upper course of the Ostravice River is used as a reservoir of drinking water to nearby towns and villages.
Astonishing view! I love Beskydy :)
Me too :)
Thanks a lot.
Truly beautiful view. I just love Beskyd Mountains. Thank you for sharing. Tomas
Yesterday I mentioned the viewing tower Jařabina. So I'll show you today. The first lookout tower in this place was built in 1884 (destroyed by the breeze). Another was built in 1929, but it was destroyed after the Second World War. The last one, that is, the current one, was restored in 2009. You can find it about 100 meters to the right of the road III / 2543, or on the red mark from Litvínov.
Liberec is one of the biggest cities of the Czech Republic located on its northern part. On the photo there is the Town Hall, which was built due to the architectural design by Viennese architect, Franz Neumann – this is probably why it reminds me Vienna Town Hall, they look soo similar!
Ahoj!
The Jerusalem Synagogue on Jeruzalémská street is a beautiful piece of unusual (for Prague) architecture nestled in between other "normal" buildings. It is just a few dozen meters from the main train station, and conveniently on your way to the city center, so you can make it one of your first stops when you get in to town.
Czech history is visible from many monuments in Prague. One of them is also the equestrian statue of Jan Zizka on Vitkov Hill in Prague-Zizkov. Jan Zizka was an one-eyed leader of the Hussite army who gain the victory over Crusaders sent to destroy the Hussites’ movement. The battle took place on the Vitkov Hill in Prague on 14 July 1420. To commemorate Jan Zizka’s victory, the Prague quarter is named after him and an equestrian statue by Bohumil Kafka was erected in 1950.
There are no words to describe how amazing this place is. Speechless! Just go and see yourself. Beautiful place very romantic, every time I come back is more to see.
Zelny Trh, Public Square in Brno. I like the city very much. It's very nice here.
vila tugendhat, Brno. You have to book in advance if you want to see inside the house. It's no good turning up unannounced they will not let you in. The house is worth the effort. It is breathtakingly beautiful. I cannot get enough of Vila Tugendhat. Each time I go I experience it differently.
