7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #16 – winner announcement!
@narchuk Asian Sunday entry:
It happened in Thailand, in the Andaman Sea. At the very end of the dive I saw a sea turtle. She swam from coral to coral and did not notice my presence. Turtles are very calm, if you do not touch them. I swam next to her doing a frame-by-frame. At some point a flock of small fish swept past us. It lasted just a couple of seconds. I managed to make only one photo.

@vinceboisgard Australian Monday entry:
Stormy night over Darwin, this is a view from Nightcliff rocky beach if a thunder storm striking Darwin in the Northern territory of Australia. There nothing quite like it, I found it amazing to watch a bit like a firework.
@dmytrokorol Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans entry:
When I first met the Ocean
We had been driving out of Lisbon to the south when the road led us to the coast. And I saw the ocean. And the setting sun. The colors were so beautiful! We stopped at the first place we had found I grabbed my gear and ran to the beach. Lucky me! It was Praia da Sines with these beautiful wooden stairs and the stones on the sandy beach. The first meeting was gorgeous. I knew there is more to come.

@edward.maesen European Thursday entry:
A windmill in the province of Limburg, in the southern part of The Netherlands where I grew up. In many villages you'll find one or two windmills though few are still in use. Luckily some are maintained/restored and open to the public to view.

One thing southern California has in abundance are beaches. There are miles and miles of beautiful coastline where locals and tourists go to relax and enjoy the view. This is a photo of Hermosa Beach, just south of Los Angeles, taken on Christmas Day. It's just another reason I love living here in LA.
What a great picture Matt! Thank you for your submission. Stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on today. Tomas
Joshua Tree National Park
North-East of Palm Springs is the famous Joshua Tree National Park which is named after the Joshua Tree (Yucca brevifolia). The Mojave Desert with its climate is the perfect place for the tree to grow. You can also find 1.6 billion year old stones in the park. Most of them show smooth edges and are formed in unique formations. We visited in 2016 during our honey moon. And yeah it was insanely hot!
What a beautiful shot! Thank you so much for sharing with everyone. Tomas
The Canadian Rockys are really a place were we big humans can actually feel very small. Seeing this road snaking through the wilderness, massive mountains and endless forest is bringing back memories of great road trips.
Thank you for your participation and entry. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on today. Tomas
This photo is from September 2014, when we were on 21 days long trip around USA. I am sure that most of you can recognize what is on the picture, mighty Grand Canyon. It was rainy day, so I thought that such photos won’t be possible but late afternoon the sun looked out and glorious sunset began.
Splendind picture! I absolutely love Crand Canyon. Should be on everyone's list to visit at one point in life. Tomas
A storm is passing over the South Rim of the Grand Canyon as seen from Mohave Point back in 2009. This landscape is unbelievable and when you first walk up to the rim you can't fathom the dimensions of the landscape in front of you. At least this is how it felt for me.
Absolutely stunning! What a great image!
This picture was taken from the top of the Kaau Crater Ridge hike on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. The hike is a long and tiring one that lasted 4 to 5 hours and take you up 3 different waterfalls to the top of the crater. One of the best hikes on oahu by far.
Thank you so much for your entry! Great image. Tomas
When I was on a USA road trip some years ago I wanted to capture some images in the old-fashioned way without digital cameras and computers. The perfect motive for this was the well-known Monument Valley in Arizona. So I used a medium format camera with Black-and-White films. I developed these films and enlarged the pictures on baryt paper. Baryt Paper is the paper which was used 100 years ago before modern photo paper was invented. The whole process took me some hours in the lab. The picture below shows a scan of the final image.
Amazing picture! I was lucky enough to spend 1 month in Arizona. What an amazing place. Tomas
Thank You :) Yes, Arizona is really amazing. Everybody should have seen Monument Valley and Grand Canyon...
Taken on my trip to Banff last October, The Canadian Rockies look spectacular and are filled with activities at all time of the year. This picture was taken from a lookout point on Highway 1 towards Lake Louise.
Thank you so much for your submission and participation in the challenge. What a splendid entry. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement post coming later on today. Tomas
Thank you for selecting my picture as one of your 10! :)
This photo is from below the Williamburg Bridge in Lower Manhatten New York. It was taken as a long exposure to make it look a bit surreal and the reflection looked pretty cool.
Great shot. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on today. Tomas
Catalina Island, California !
This is 'not' one of those places come to any ones mind if you ask about best places to visit in California. This photograph was shot when we visited here a few years back . I was amazed to see mind blowing views, mostly untouched and also how clean they are maintaining the Island. Islanders even could take you to your own private remote beach. One needs to take a ferry from Los Angeles or you could fly in on a helicopter. Interestingly this place also has a very small airport !
Sunning shot! Thank you for your submission. Tomas
Thank you !
