Pacific Coast Sunset. The views from Panoramic Drive and Pan Toll Road are absolutely stunning. I took this photo a year ago from a hilltop above Pan Toll Road in the Mt. Tamalpais area north of San Francisco. After climbing to the top, I spent more than an hour watching the sun set over the Pacific Ocean, casting it's surreal light on the grass covered hills below me.

@vinceboisgard Australian Monday entry:

Right in Sydney's CBD is a harbour named the "Darling Barbour" it is a very nice to visit. You can picnic around the marina and the view over the city is great. I went for a walk ever there during the night and captured Sydney's skyline.

@mata.lensa Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:

Gampong Jawa Is one of the places where fishermen do the activity of pulling nets. This location is also a place for photographers to look for the moment. How not, the sea which is 3km away from the center of Banda Aceh city and also facing directly with the Indian Ocean offers a million enchanting natural beauty.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #34 – winner announcement!

@jpphotography African Wednesday entry:

Sunrise in the Sahara. The sand dunes of the Moroccan Sahara are an amazing sight. The huge amounts of piled sand are everything but boring, since the strong winds and the sun constantly change the patterns and colours of the dunes.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - European Thursday week #34 - winner announcement!

@ansharphoto European Thursday entry:

Two Towers, Bologna. This part of the city, built when Bologna was at the peak of its power and wealth, was once dotted with towers. In fact, one of Bologna’s many affectionate nicknames is “la turrita,” or the “city of many towers.” There were once hundreds of towers in the city; some were built for defensive purposes and many others built by powerful families, continually attempting to one-up each other.

In winter 2017, we got a lot of rain in Los Angeles and everything was incredibly green. Late that January, I decided to take a quick trip just south of downtown to Ascot Hills Park that offered a unique view of the city. Walking from my car on the path to the overlook of downtown, I snapped this photo on my new (at the time) iPhone 7 Plus. Sadly, this year we've had significantly less rain, so this beautiful green is no longer.

What a great shot Matt. It sure does not look like California:)...

Golden Moonrise
Its such a beautiful event to witness and even more amazing to photograph, for those who are clever enough to figure out the right place and the right time. And then be lucky enough to receive the right light. This is a photo of Cathedral Rock in Beautiful Sedona, Arizona USA.

Wow, that is quite an epic image! Thank you so much for that.

One of my first landscape photos taken on my first landscape photography trip back in 2009. The Grand Canyon is a marvelous landscape. Photos just cannot do it justice. Walking up to the rim for the first time is a very unique experience.

The photo was taken after a storm had passed and I titled it Heart of the Canyon due to the shape of the clouds and the canyon

Awesome! Where exactly did you take this photo? Is this the North Rim?

This was taken from Mohave Point on the South Rim if I remember correctly. Could also have been Hopi though.

It sure is a marvelous place and you captured it so well. Thank you. Tomas

Golden Hour in Idaho

This photo is from my recent post of drone photos I made at my property a few days ago. A seasonal creek runs through the trees and provides habitat for a pair of mallards, and fresh water for the deer and elk that frequent it.

That is pretty spectacular. It's amazing what we can do those days thanks to use of the modern technology.

Photo of Mount Rundle at Banff National Park in Alberta Canada. This national park is in the Canadian Rockies, is very nice due its outstanding mountains, lakes, rivers and wild life. Mount Rundle is very iconic of this National Park, and it can be easily recognize because of its shape.

Beautiful nature! Thank you for sharing with us.

We decided to drive up to a sketchy road carved into avalanche debris and we came across this heart stopping moment, when we got passed the tree line (around 6000 to 7000 feet up) and realized how narrow the road was and you couldn't see the edge of the road , all you could see was the cliff and the view of the small town of Canmore Alberta (the town is hiding in the trees below).

Spectacular image. Thank you and have a great day. Tomas

Winter Sunset over Lake Livingston, in eastern Texas. The reflections of the clouds in the water kinda look like manatees to me. I love the way this image makes me feel. Thank you

Thank you so much for your participation. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on today. Tomas

I really appreciate it Tomas, have a great weekend

The famous and iconic road of the Death Valley. Seemingly stretching into infinity. A straight line to the horizon, only broken up by mirages that make you see a lake or a patch of sky sticking to the ground. It's the big freedom reaching from horizon to horizon.

The road with no end! Love it.

Thank you very much :)

The salty mist of the sea begins to blow through The Golden Gate Bridge, as the afternoon traffic builds. We weren't initially going to stop at the lookout when on our way to the Muir Woods, but certainly weren't disappointed when we did.

That is an amazing landmark and definitely worth stopping at:)... Have a great day.

Beach in Tulum, Mexico

The Caribbean is famed for its beautiful beaches. The beaches near Tulum in Yucatan suffer from a lot of algae that is washed to the shore, but the pristine sand and the beautiful rock formations make up for it and guarantee for a memorable experience.
