7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #23 – winner announcement!
@h2odigital Asian Sunday entry:
This is a picture of The Petrona Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They were the tallest building in the world until 2004. I went all the way to the top and it was a good experience, but it was raining and the views weren't that good. However, the view of the building from groundlevel did not disappoint. It is an amazing building!

@vinceboisgard Australian Monday entry:
In Arrowtown (NZ), there is a 4x4 track going up in the mountains. You'll have to cross about 20 plus rivers to reach the end of it which is an old gold mining station. All along the way the scenery is just stunning. Location: Arrowtown, New Zealand.

@eaglest Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans entry:
One of the most beautiful beaches of Tenerife is Playa de Almaciga. This coast with lots of cliffs and rocks and steep mountains is a stunning location. For this image I waited until the lights of the town of Almaciga started to shine. The glowing town makes a nice contrast to the dark mountains behind.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #23 – winner announcement!
@ansharphoto African Wednesday entry:
Dunes of Sossusvlei, Namibia. In Sossusvlei, the wonder is the land itself. The area is famous for its massive sand dunes, sculpted and smoothed by the wind in a desert completely devoid of surface water. The same winds that create the dunes also change them, and the sinuous lines and forms that amaze today may be different tomorrow. Even their colors change, the striking terra cotta easing into browns and beiges as the sun waxes and wanes.

The windmills at Kinderdijk really are incredible to see up close in person. These 19 modern technological and architectural marvels were built around 1740 to pump water out of the fields and into a reservoir. It's one of the most famous landmarks in the Netherlands and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. If you're ever in Amsterdam, I recommend taking the trip to Kinderdijk to see them!
Millennium Tower @ Donauinsel, Vienna
The Danube Island is one of the most beautiful attractions that Vienna has to offer and not only during the day a spectacle. The sunset is breathtaking and even at night it is beautiful to see the reflections of the surrounding skyscrapers dance happily in the depths of the Danube river.
Is this the danube?
yes, this is the danube and the pic was taken at brigittenauer bridge :)
My hometown ❤️
Thank you so much for your participation! What a great image. Tomas
Saint Mary Basilica, Krakow
As I often do, I set up my tripod in the early hours of morning outside Saint Mary Basilica. Located in a busy pedestrianized area, there were almost always people strolling in front of the basilica, and I wanted to capture it with no people. I wanted the focus solely on the building, one of the city’s most beautiful.
I found a place to sit to try to wait out the last of previous night’s bar-goers. As I waited, my mind wandered to the city and its history. Krakow survived World War intact, so it isn’t hard to be distracted by the city’s long history. The Saint Mary Basilica, built nearly a thousand years ago, has stood witness to much of that history.
Simply stunning!
Very cold and colourful sunrise at the Klaipeda old town. The symbol of Klaipeda - sailing ship "Meridianas" completely frozen in the river (well it doesn't move anywhere anyways :)
Enjoy it!

That is pretty high! Must be amazing to have such clear views! Magnificent.
The Glacier Sheep of Iceland
Sheep are everywhere on the island. They are independent, often seen in pairs, fair up on the tops of hills, white specks in the distance. These were closer to the road, but there was a nice backdrop!
Love your pic! Great job! Tomas
Thank you! :)
What a great entry and a beautiful image. Thank you so much for your submission. Have a great day. Tomas
This is a beautiful sunny moment I had in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The hump-backed stone arch bridge Stari Most in my shot is a landmark connecting the two parts of Mostar. These Balkan Islamic architectures are in perfect harmony with the natural settings around.

That looks so picturesque! Amazing image.
The Church of St. John at Kaneo
Located in one of the oldest prehistoric in Europe, Lake Ohrid, The church of Saint John at Kaneo is also one of the oldest church in Europe. There are a few Orthodox structures like this around in the area and it's worth discovering with a little hike along the lake to this spot.
I just happen to come across heavy but dissipating clouds over the lake and the sun was slightly peeking over to illuminate the lake. Lake Ohrid is one of the most touristy spots in Macedonia and for good reason. This church is a beauty to behold and one that will probably get more recognition and visits from tourists as time goes on.
Thank you so much for your participation. This once again is a superb entry. Tomas
Warshaw, Poland. This in sunrise at the square in old town of Warshaw.
This part of town was completele reconstructed after WWII but despite the fact that there are no ancient buildings here is very cozy and nice.
These bright colors in the dawn sky made me run out of the hotel room almost barefoot. Had to hurry to reach the desired point of shooting until the sky is not extinguished
I am very pleased you are submitting your amazing images on regular basis now. Truly appreciated. Have a great day. Tomas
Thank you for contest! This is nice motivation!
