Dear followers here are 9 images you have liked the most this year. They are mostly from my hometown in the Czech Republic, there is one from Prague and couple from India. The main “hit” however seemed to be my grandma who celebrated her 90th birthday this year and who appeared in 3 photos in this selection. Thank you everyone for following, I wish you Happy New Year 2019! #top9of2018 #top9

This image concludes my postings for this year. In 2018 I shared photo memories from the Czech Republic, my home country, inviting you for a visit to see my family and friends in my hometown. I hope you enjoyed the Czech journey. In 2019 I’ll be taking you on a very different kind of trip. Stay tuned and Happy New Year 2019!  #2018 #czechrepublic #personalwork #everydayeverywhere #winter #road #endofayear #home #snow #everydayeasterneurope #instagood #photooftheday #picoftheday #asenbrennerova

To see the happiness in kids eyes when they enter the room with the Christmas tree and gifts is priceless. #2017 #czechrepublic #personalwork #everydayeverywhere #everydayeasterneurope #instagood #photooftheday #picoftheday #asenbrennerova

After dinner, according to the Czech tradition, the baby Jesus rings the bell and the kids enter the room. For the first time they see the tree and the gifts he brought for them. #2017 #czechrepublic #personalwork #everydayeverywhere #everydayeasterneurope #instagood #photooftheday #christmas #vanoce #jezisek #christmastree #kids #picoftheday #asenbrennerova

Memories from last years’ Christmas Eve. Family gathers to enjoy traditional Czech dinner - fish soup and then potato salad with fried fish schnitzel. #2017 #czechrepublic #personalwork #everydayeverywhere #everydayeasterneurope #instagood #photooftheday #picoftheday #christmas #dinner #traditionalmeal #celebration #asenbrennerova

Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Holidays! #asenbrennerova #christmastree #christmas #gifts

In the Czech Republic it is a tradition to decorated the Christmas tree on the 24th when we celebrate Christmas. These days, people decorate their Christmas trees earlier to enjoy it longer. #2017 #czechrepublic #personalwork #everydayeverywhere #everydayeasterneurope #instagood #photooftheday #picoftheday #christmastree #christmas #vanoce #gifts #decoration #asenbrennerova

Wintertime already but doesn’t look or feel like it quite yet.. Afternoon walk with my mom and our dog Amalka in a nearby forest. I have walked this forest path in my hometown countless of times and still love every step of the way. #2018 #czechrepublic #personalwork #everydayeverywhere #landscape #forrest #nature #everydayeasterneurope #instagood #photooftheday #picoftheday #asenbrennerova

I photographed my very first assignment for the ESPN magazine. If you know my work this might seem surprising but the assignment wasn't all that sporty and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I photographed Matt Breida of the San Francisco 49ers with his wife, Silvana, in their home in San Jose.

Rudolf is one of the residents in our town, I know him since childhood and photographed him for almost 10 years now. In this image he prepares hey for his animals. Back in 2012 when I took this photo he still had a cow, goat and bunch of chickens. #2012 #czechrepublic #personalwork #everydayeverywhere #everydayeasterneurope #rudolf #instagood #photooftheday #picoftheday # #asenbrennerova

Štěpán Tvaroh is artistic blacksmith. He started his own business about 3 years ago, shortly after he finished school. Perhaps to take a break from the fire and heat in his workshop he goes to the mountains every year in the winter time to work as a ski instructor. #2017 #czechrepublic #personalwork #everydayeverywhere #everydayeasterneurope #instagood #photooftheday #picoftheday #blacksmith #artist  #asenbrennerova

Grandma passes by a window to my brother’s workshop. This is back in 2014 when she was still able to walk around on her own. Now she needs a bit of assistance but she still enjoys the outdoors. #2014 #czechrepublic #personalwork #everydayeverywhere #everydayeasterneurope #family #grandma #instagood #photooftheday #picoftheday # #asenbrennerova

Kids reading a book together. When you have nearly no access to technology you are forced to find other means of entertainment. #2018 #czechrepublic #personalwork #everydayeverywhere #everydayeasterneurope #instagood #photooftheday #picoftheday #family #home #reading #kidstime #book #awayfromtechnology #asenbrennerova

Grandma unknowingly posing for a portrait during a coffee time she enjoys with my brother and his son, Krystof. Grandma is nearly blind and doesn’t hear too well either so she often doesn’t acknowledge right away that I am photographing her. She usually laughs when I tell her that a lovely photo of her was just made. #2018 #czechrepublic #personalwork #everydayeverywhere #everydayeasterneurope #instagood #photooftheday #picoftheday #family #grandma #home #coffee #awayfromtechnology #asenbrennerova

View from the roof of my mom’s house. Sometimes I climb up there to watch the sun go down or just take photos of the town from higher perspective. #2017 #czechrepublic #personalwork #everydayeverywhere #everydayeasterneurope #town #home #architecture #instagood #photooftheday #picoftheday # #asenbrennerova

To conclude our National Geographic trip to South Bohemia we took our students to my hometown to meet my family and some friends. They had the opportunity to pet bunch of animals and to see couple of pet ducks who were bit shy but made an appearance for this group photo. This image concludes my posting from our National Geographic Student Expedition and I’m already looking forward to the next one in 2019, wherever that might be! Greetings to you our dear students who made our adventure in the Czech Republic fantastic! #natgeostudentexpeditions #2018 #czechrepublic #everydayeverywhere #everydayeasterneurope #instagood #photooftheday #picoftheday #natgeotravel #groupshot #family #canon5dmarkiii #studentstravel #asenbrennerova

Definitely uneatable but Fly Amanita is among the most beautiful mushrooms you can find in the South Bohemian forest we visited with our students this summer. #natgeostudentexpeditions #2018 #czechrepublic #everydayeverywhere #flyamanita #mushroom #everydayeasterneurope #instagood #photooftheday #picoftheday #natgeotravel #canon5dmarkiii #studentstravel #asenbrennerova

Visiting local forest to pick mushrooms and blueberries was one of the highlights for many students during our Czech expedition this summer. #natgeostudentexpeditions #2018 #czechrepublic #everydayeverywhere #everydayeasterneurope #instagood #photooftheday #picoftheday #natgeotravel #landscape #green #landscape #nature #canon5dmarkiii #studentstravel #asenbrennerova
