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 @magnata:
Excursion on the Prague Castle Grad. Your route can be started from the Malostranskaya metro station, moving along the wall. You can combine a visit to this place with a tour of the Hradcany and Vyšehrad districts. This is the most interesting part of the route, since it will be possible to stop on the viewing platforms with a beautiful view of Prague.
Its orange roofs are a characteristic sign of this fabulous, like a magical city.
I rewarded @magnata 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!

Klášter křižovníků has a perfect view. The beach area under is really nothing special but it's home to big groups of well fed ducks and swans but what sets this area aside as special to me is the stunning views of Charles Bridge and the beautiful meandering Vltava River and Prague castle. In a great location and with a great view, the area is always really quiet and a nice place for a walk away from the crowds.
With the current weather, spring doesn´t really seem to be around the corner yet but that doesn´t prevent me from from sharing this spring photo that I took in Stromovka a few years ago. Occupying almost 100 ha, Stromovka is a large park found in the Prague neighborhood of Bubenec.
One of many beautiful buildings found within the Lednice–Valtice Cultural Landscape. Located in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic, the Lednice–Valtice Cultural Landscape is a large complex of architectural and natural features and one of the most famous and visited tourist attractions of the area. It is also registered in the list of monuments protected as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
The Hybern House, Prague
The first church and monastery in this place was built by Charles IV. But the monastery did not survive the Hussite revolution.
In the middle of the 17th century a new building was built - the monastery of Irish Franciscans. At that time, Cromwell's revolution was at its peak. Catholic monks in Ireland were persecuted. So they went to the Emperor, to Bohemia. Ireland is in Latin Hibernia. That's why the building is called The Hybern house.
They allegedly were the first to grow potatoes in Bohemia in the early 18th century.
In 1786 Emperor Joseph II. the monastery abolished. The building was used differently. As a customs house, theater, exhibition hall ... At the beginning of the 19th century it was rebuilt in the style of the Empire.
Today there is theater.
