Moon Connection. Perfect and almost Marsian view passing up the Nile from Luxor to Aswan on a small cruise ship.
The right place and right moment to catch the Moon and the Mosque almost at same line, showing their connection to each other... Stunning a bit reddish colors of sunset adds a lot of drama. Enjoy it!
Your entries need to be submitted by 8 AM Central European Time in order to be considered for the challenge with a description of approximately 30 to 50 words. Only use of personal images will be accepted and only one picture can be submitted for a daily photo challenge.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #101 - winner announcement!
@jpphotography Asian Sunday entry:
View of the Treasury in Petra, Jordan. While the ticket to Petra is the single most expensive entry fee I have ever paid, locals can get in for free. Many run small shops in the site, but a few teenagers are blocking access to a trail to this viewpoint demanding a fee for a "guided tour" from any tourist who wants to pass. At first I didn't bother, but when I saw them physically attacking a tourist in front of me who had also decided to ignore them and go by himself, I turned back and took an alternative route. Apart from this event, I had very positive experiences with Jordanians, so it is a shame that the local authorities allow these highwaymen to do their sketchy business at the countries' most frequented tourist site.
7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #101 – winner announcement!
@rullicky Australian Monday entry:
Lovely sunset. This photo is from Sunset Beach, Port Waikato, New Zealand. This place is located at the North island on west coast, approximately 1 hour by car from Auckland. This beach is one of most popular sunset places on New Zealand!
@jpphotography Tuesday of Antarctica and world's oceans entry:
Wharariki Beach Reflections, New Zealand. Wahariki beach is one of my favourite spots in New Zealand. At low tide, the rock formations reflect beautifully in the water. Wahariki beach is also home to countless birds and sea lions.

Camping under the stars while on safari in the Sossusvlei desert in Namibia. We arrived to this camp site for the night, so in the morning we could climb the sand dunes. The days were hot but at night, the temperature was just perfect.

Street in the "Blue City" Chefchaouen, Morocco
The mountain village Chefchaouen in Morocco was shaped by Jewish and Muslim immigrants who were expelled from Andalucia in the late 15th century, so it comes to no surprise that the Medina has a Spanish touch. Nowadays, it is most famous for its blue houses, but in fact, the blue paint has been added more recently.

Silence of the Nile
Perfectly calm and colorful early morning at Luxor, Egypt. First night on board small cruise ship and expecting the journey to start pretty soon, but still after visiting The Valley of Kings first...
Shot from the upper deck while everybody were still sleeping
Enjoy the Scenery!

There is a small but interesting museum at the foot of the Giza pyramids. The Solar Boat Museum is the house of the Solar Boat that most likely was used to bring the body of Pharaoh Kheops to his last home, the pyramid of Cheops.
Buried for about 4500 years, the funeral bark was only discovered in the 1950s at the foot of the big pyramid. It is pretty well preserved for a wood boat that old.
