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!

Cesky Krumlov. It'll probably take 30 minutes to walk around the town but it'll take you hours to get lost in the side streets! I truly enjoyed walking and getting lost here. Everything is so cute and beautiful. I particularly enjoyed staying at one of those restaurants by the river then walk up and down the river and truly enjoy the buzzing tourist scene or the quieter nature walk.

Dancing House
It is a modern house in Prague and that makes it stand out more. If you like modern architecture this is well worth a brief visit. I can't rank it higher than average due to the fact that it has no other value than some fun in the middle of a central slip trying to avoid the obstacles of the traffic lights and wires in order to get a good photo.

Bridges of Prague. I heard that there are 18 bridges in Prague. I looked for a higher place and found a hilltop. There is a nice view of Prague. You can overlook many bridges on the Vltava river there. That's beautiful!

Prague Castle. I did it! I basically had to stand at the very back corner of the fortress wall, but I got the full cathedral in the shot. Whew! 😋 And no scaffolding. Bonus! One of the best place in the world.

St. Barbara's Church. A big beautiful cathedral both outside and inside. Very nice view of it and the surrounding buildings from the viewing platform across from the "ravine". Classic Gothic elements look very light. From the inside, this impression is still strengthened, because everything is flooded with light and rushes up.

Strahov Monastery. It's really amazing!!! This library have a lot of books in an incredible environment. You'll have to pay to see them and if you want to take pictures, you'll pay a little fee. The library has a cordon, so you see the books from a distance, behind the cordon.

Golden sunset over the Silver Lake in the Silesian town of Opava. Originally a gypsum quarry that got flooded, the lake now serves as a popular recreation area where people come to relax and enjoy some outdoor fun.

Night photo of Old Town Hall Tower in Old Town Square, Prague. On the other side of this tower there is the famous astronomical clock. Its construction started on 14th century, and it is built in Gothic style. You can spot the moon on the left side of the image.

The five bridges. I actually found that the walk up to the view at the top had lots of great vantage points as well. At this point, you can't quite see all 5 bridges, but there was so much more color with the flowers and trees more prevalent. Well worth the climb!

Charles Bridge. I decided to cross the bridge earlier in the morning, before the crowds and vendors were set up. It was a doable stroll from my Old Town apartment. Most of the people on the bridge were photographers working with couples taking romantic videos and photos. The view of the river was lovely and the statues interesting.

St Bartholomew's Cathedral. The exact date of the foundation of the cathedral is unknown, most likely it was placed in the middle of the 14th century. Construction lasted a total of more than two hundred years, and the final presentation of the building was received in five hundred years, when the bell tower was more than one hundred meters. Thanks to the huge tower, the cathedral became the highest church in the whole country. The Gothic-style building is the city's most important landmark.

Prague Castle, from the park behind the Riding School. Some sights in Prague are really well known. Still, it is possible to photograph them from a less-known place. If you walk through the Riding School, you will get to the small park. Even though the Castle is full of tourists, it will be empty or almost empty.
