7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #17 – winner announcement!
@narchuk Asian Sunday entry:
At the Philippines I go to dive, most of the day I spend in the water or on a boat. Do not forget the night dive. As a result, I have very little time for sunrises and sunsets.
This time we returned from diving, and I watched the sun go down into the ocean. It happened at the moment when the boat hit the shore. I had to jump right into the water together with the underwater box. I did not have time to get another camera.
I was lucky. In addition to the beautiful sunset, I saw a turtle swimming alongside. A few minutes before it was dark, we swam together.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #17 – winner announcement!
@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:
Here's my favorite photo from New Zealand. I took it a year ago in Tongariro National Park. It was quite cloudy as we arrived in the Park and we couldn't see the peaks yet. But I hiked to Tama Lakes anyways, hoping for a change. As the clouds then broke and revealed Mount Ruapehu it was an awesome sight.

@axeman Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans entry:
Volcanoes in Baltic? What? You would say impossible? Well, that depends on the point of view in fact. Shot at very cold winter evening (if remember right was some -20 degrees) and with very low shooting point and extra wide lens. So visually its really looks like a volcano :D Enjoy the scenery!

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #17 – winner announcement!
@pierrehugo African Wednesday entry:
As the drought becomes more apparent in the South African winter, two male Zebras compete in a dramatic display of kicking, biting and rearing up onto their hind legs. It was a great sighting to witness over half an hour. The result of such behavior led to a big dust cloud every time they attempted to establish dominance. This shot was taken in the famous Kruger National Park, which is a compulsory visit should you be traveling to this exquisite part of the world.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – European Thursday week #17 – winner announcement!
@jpphotography European Thursday entry:
Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic. I am sure you know this view very well: The Charles Bridge is one of Prague's most beautiful sights. When I was wandering through Prague in the evening, I saw this beautiful view and since I did not carry a tripod I looked for a wall to put my camera on to capture this long exposure.

Travel Tip: Trebic, beautiful historic town surrounded by breathtaking nature

Almost every time I'm in New York, I try to take the time for a visit to the High Line. It's an elevated park running north/south along the westside of Manhattan that transformed old, unused elevated train tracks into a beautiful thriving green park. When I was there in May, I took this cityscape photo from the park. I can't wait to go back there again soon!
Thank you so much for your submission. I am picking some other entries this time around as there was a high number of submissions. Tomas
Off the west coast of Oahu in Hawaii, spotted dolphins can be seen in large pods. A few tour operators can take you out to swim with these amazing creatures, giving you a truly amazing experience that you will treasure forever.
What an amazing experience to witness something like that. I just love it. Tomas
Hello! This is my entry for today's contest.
Lake Kitch Iti Kipi is a hidden gem in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Not only is the emerald water a beauty to behold, you can get across the lake via a raft pulled by a cord, and enjoy the stunning tree reflections from different perspectives, as well as the underwater world: fish, rocks, branches, and ancient tree trunks. A parking, picnic area, restroom, and gift store are right by the lake. The magical water of Kitch Iti Kipi is any photographer’s dream, and most definitely my favorite memory from my trip there last September.

Thank you!
Recently took a trip to the Utah national parks. Took this photo at the famous Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park just after sunrise. The sun is just behind the arch, creating a fascinating glow under the arch. Used Photomerge function with photoshop for creating the panorama image.

What a fabulous image! Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on today in a separate post. Tomas
Good nice :D
This picture was taken in New Hampshire, USA in the fall of 2016. It was magical driving through the valley and seeing this splendour of colour. We wanted to do a hike that was not too long or difficult, so we chose a recommended route online. After 3 hours of hiking up a mountain, we were rewarded with this view! You never know what the unknown path of adventure will bring, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.. In this case, we won the jackpot big time!
What a breathtaking view! Lovely shot. I like the warmth in it.
Thanks @shadalene it sure was an amazing view and good opportunity to snap away!
Great shot, beautiful colors. I absolutely love Autumn. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on today. Tomas
Lake O'Hara in Yoho National Park, in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia: this night (last fall) the Northern Lights were unusually brilliant, and at midnight I was almost paralyzed with indecision over where to go to photograph them (a wealth of options). I decided to take a chance and spend a few hours hiking in to this lookout over O'Hara, hoping against hope that I would get there before the light show ended. Luckily I made it just in time! No sleep that night, but well worth the groggy day after.
That is an amazing sight and a shot! Fabulous.
Thank you!
The now overly famous Horseshoe bend near Page, Arizona. I have read some disturbing stories about the amount of people visiting this place nowadays. When I was there eight years ago, there were maybe 10 people and at times even less. It's an incredible sight and a true art piece of nature.
Impressive view and photo! This is on my "to visit" list.
Amazing place!
amazing!!
Just like from the travel magazine! Splendid!
Columbia River Highway, Oregon
We were driving along when we came across this amazing Chanticleer lookout point. With typical Oregon weather and some fog rolling in over the mountains it looked beautiful! The atmosphere was so amazing I could have stayed and looked at this view for hours!
Thank you so much for your great submission. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on today. Tomas
Something a little different this week:
This is a view of Manhattan from the Brooklyn bridge, a black and white photograph geometrically built with at the background: Manhattan's skyline and in the foreground the bridge's lines running from the top to the bottom of the image.
This is an essay, a geometrical construction and a weirdness itself 😀
Enjoy
Location: Manhattan, New York.
Awesome picture
Thanks mate
Awesome click! Thank you so much for your submission. Tomas
