Dear Steemit friends,
Let me take this opportunity to present you some of the greatest images that have appeared in my daily Prague/Czech Republic Photo Challenge in the past week.
If you are not familiar with the contest, feel free to check my blog as it is a regular daily photo challenge that everyone can join. I am collecting personal pictures of other Steemians from their visit to Prague and other locations in the Czech Republic and rewarding their effort in the form of an upvote.
Please sit back and enjoy some of the greatest recent Prague/Czech Republic submission.
Have a great weekend and keep on steeming!

Very nice Charles Bridge over the river. Great view from both sides of the Bridge. Statues are being kept in a good condition. Beautiful way to cross the river. Statues, Vendors and bridge performers line the sides and it is always very crowded. Best view is very early in the morning.

Row of beautiful historic buildings located on the Masaryk Waterfront (Masarykovo Nábřeží in the Czech language) in the center of Prague. Facing these magnificent houses, there is the beginning of Naplavka, a popular chill-out spot where young locals as well as tourists gather to relax and enjoy some beautiful view of the Vltava River.

The caves and Moravian views are wonderful! it was really a good getaway and indulge in these nature sights. The peaceful walk through the forest was a great change of pace from all the cities we had been seeing lately, and the caves themselves were spectacular.

This is the ceiling of Our Lady of the Snows (Panny Marie Sněžné) in Prague. Contrary to its appearance this is not the original gothic vaulted ceiling, but an early 17th century neo-mediaeval recreation (1607 to be exact). I found the yellowish beige ceiling color rather boring, except for the stars, which is why I decided to make it into a black and white photograph so as to highlight the elegance of the lines.

I've tried to give this photo kind of old feeling (means I just used a retro filter :D )+ also get rid of the veggie market rush which was going on the square. Square is actually called a "Green market" and it's in the city centre of Brno, the biggest city/town of Morava region.

I love Prague, but a gem many people forget is Cesky Krumlov. This picture was made by me a few years ago during a visit to Cesky Krumlov using the panorama function on the camera.

Sit back and relax on the cushions of an elegant carriage, as if you were traveling at a time when automobiles did not exist. You will leave the Old City, home to grand palaces, imposing churches and the famous astronomical clock; it is truly the oldest district of Prague. A pleasant ride will take you through the medieval streets lined with colorful and beautifully renovated buildings from the 14th century. The bustle of the street will pass before your eyes as you drink the romantic atmosphere of the beautiful Czech capital.

Incredible dancing house building at Jiraskovo namesti. It's just like looking at a still photograph of an earthquake as it happens. A fascinating piece of architecture. A very iconic building which stands out architecturally seen right across the city. It is one of these buildings you will like it or loath it.

Church of St. Anthony of Padua, Panská Lhota, Vysočina Region. There is a cemetery and a church almost in each of the older villages. Although it does not look interesting from outside, try to go inside. For example, in this church in 1841 you have a baroque organ from 1755 and another inventory transferred from other burnt or demolished churches from the neighborhood.

The castle in Mladá Boleslav has been in the 10th century. In the 13th century it was rebuilt into a Gothic style, in the 16th century a Renaissance chateau. It was rebuilt in the 18th century, this time the barracks. It has been a barracks until the 1950s. Then he folded it as a textile store until 1972. And until then, he was in the reconstruction until the early 1990s.

One of my favorite views of the Prague Castle, the most iconic landmark of the city and the largest castle in the world. These days when the weather is nice, there is a huge traffic on the river as you can see in the photo.

Close-up of one of the iconic Prague statues called "Babies". Created by the famous Czech artist David Cerny, these babies can be found at two locations in Prague - most of them are installed on the Zizkov Lookout Tower and three more are situated right next to the Kampa Museum in the historic center of the city. This one is from Kampa.

When you get to these gardens after visiting the Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral, you simply enjoy the peace and tranquility of this place. A beautiful, well-kept park with many trees, flowers, fountains, sculptures. Even in this park, we accidentally found a free exhibition of birds, which we really liked. A walk through the Royal Gardens allows you to relax from the noise of the city and enjoy the contemplation of nature. Entrance to the gardens is free, but in the evening they are closed.
