Your entries need to be submitted by the midnight of Central European Time in order to be considered for the challenge with a description of approximately 30 to 50 words. Only one picture can be submitted for a daily photo challenge. The rule number one is to use only personal images. Ten winning photos will receive a bigger upvote from me and ten runners-up will get a smaller one. Chosen from the ten winning entries, the absolute winner of the day will receive extended publicity in my post tomorrow morning. I will also visit his/her blog to upvote one of the most recent posts.
The winner of daily challenge then competes against winners from other continental challenges of the respective week to receive the price of 20 SBD.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #18 – winner announcement!
@vinceboisgard Asian Sunday entry:
The majestic Taj-Mahal made of white marble. Build for a princess and unfortunately used as a tomb where she sleeps for ever. The roof is made of Star Diopside Gems that shine like stars when the moon is full. This is a magnificent place to see and visit.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #18 – winner announcement!
@mibreit-photo with the following entry:
Here's something from famous Milford Sound for you. I travelled New Zealand's South Island back a few years ago and at first I was a bit sceptical as to, if this location could live up to all the hype around it. But it didn't dissapoint. Milford Sound is one of the most spectacular locations I have ever visited. The drive there alone was already worth the visit. Then I even got lucky with this sunset.

@easycome Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans entry:
Every year, like for 3 years, I draw lots with my girlfriend to see which place to visit in September/October, it's like our vacation trip. But occasionally we do getaways, in Europe to do it with low-cost companies is very economic and easy, which if it is true that I never thought that Iceland was a country that gave so much of itself. Has everything, and very freezing too! From now on, in order to give more truthfulness to the photos, I will tell you the parameters used when taking the picture, so that there are less confusions.So... The Parameters used were: 14mm | f/16 | 15s | ISO 100
Camera: Fujifilm X-E2

After our cruise over the Nile and visiting also Cairo and Alexandria, we returned to Hurghada for few more days pure rest staying in the hotel only. Nothing much to shoot except of sunrises, but even on a sunset managed to get pretty interesting frame to the side opposite to seaside.
So, colourful sunset and an old type of windmill with a mountains silhouette far away
Enjoy the scenery :)

I have many photos of corals and lionfishes. But I can not swim by and do not take a picture. The combination of colors and shapes acts hypnotically on me. Even here in Sudan, at a serious depth, I stop and take pictures. Although the main purpose of diving are "hammers". And there is not much time I can spend at this depth.
The Sahara Desert
This was my second time travelling to Morocco. Soon after I took this picture a sand storm started and some sand grains made their way into my camera screen. But don't worry, the camera is still working fine.
On the north eastern tip of Africa; the first built and last standing of the original wonders of the world, the Great Pyramids of Giza remained the tallest human structures for 3800 years. The Pyramid of Khafre (or Chephren) seen here was built around 2570 BC (4587 years ago) to a height of 143.5 m (471 ft).
I got the chance to go on a safari in Tanzania. We were driving along and suddenly a herd of wild African Elephants came towards us. One of the little ones got a bit itchy I suppose, and came to start rubbing on the log in front of our vehicle.
Looks like he's posing for the camera!
Beautiful!
amazing!
The Monte Leste (East Mount, in english) it's a small mount located on the Sal Island (Cape Verde archipelago). Although small, it stands out in one of the most arid landscapes I have ever visited.
The Chacma Baboon is found in Southern Africa, where they can live in large groups if conditions are favourable. These amazing primates are extremely adaptable and can live on coastal terrain such as the southern tip of Africa and even in semi-arid climates. I took this picture in Cape Point, South Africa, where they feed on fynbos (finebush) plants, ocean invertebrates on the intertidal shore ( only 2 of the several groups have adapted this strategy) and easily accessible food from humans. The baboons are so intelligent, that they can even open up unlocked car doors!
We had a great holiday in Namibia and Botswana. We hired a fourwheeldrive with a roofroptent. Every night the sunset was amazing. Having a nice barbecue, some wine,sunset and the animals close to our campsite.
I will never forget these great moments
Today’s entry for African photo is themed with fabulous animal – Giraffe. It is the tallest land animal on the world as you probably know. It stands 5-6 meters tall and average weight for females is about 800kg, as adult males weight approximately 500kg more. This photo is from Savannah in Namibia, where is low growth and salt pan in the background.

Three weekends ago we climbed a mountain called Simonsberg, situated in the winelands region of Cape Town near the town of Stellenbosch. The views are spectacular and you can even see Table Mountain (on the horizon) about 70km away!
