7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #22 – winner announcement!
@thuylannguyen Asian Sunday entry:
This is my photo taken during a trip to Sa Pa in Lao Cai province, Vietnam. Sa Pa Town is located in Lao Cai Province, north-west Vietnam, close to the border with China. Sapa Town is famous both for its fine, rugged scenery and for its rich cultural diversity. Sapa is oriented to make the most of the spectacular views emerging on clear days; it overlooks a plunging valley, with mountains towering above on all sides. Views are often subdued by thick mist rolling across the peaks, but even when it's cloudy, local hill-tribe people fill the town with colour.

Motion in blue. I found this interesting rock formation on the Cordoama beach in Portugal and had struggled to find the right position on the wet stones, wiping the lens, covering my camera from splashes and trying to capture the contrast between the motion of water and stillness of rock.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #22 – winner announcement!
@ansharphoto African Wednesday entry:
Deadvlei, Namibia. This place is striking in its lifeless beauty. It’s difficult to imagine that it was ever underwater; now the earth of Deadvlei is cracked and bleached a stark white by the sun. There is little to suggest that life ever flourished there. Even its name — Deadvlei, which means “dead marsh” or “dead valley”— conveys an o ominous sense of the absence of life.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – European Thursday week #22 – winner announcement!
@adonisabril European Thursday entry:
The Quaint Fishing Village of Reine. Have you ever had one of those days where you just want to escape? Away from the hustle and bustle of the city life? Dodge the canopies of the concrete jungle? A break from social media. A break from smartphones and computers? Well, the fishing village of Reine is where you'd want to be. It's remote enough to be away from civilization but civilized enough to provide home comforts. You'll likely stay in one of the red fishing houses scattered throughout its bay and inlets. You might even see the famed Northern Lights if you're lucky. You can climb one of the peaks surrounding the village for some of the most breathtaking views in the world. It's one of the places that will make you want to visit Norway.

I've posted a photo or two before from this location because it's one of my very favorites. This is a view of the Empire State Building from the High Line. The High Line is a 1.5 mile elevated park that runs north-south on the west side of Manhattan. I consider it one of the most inspired ideas that the city converted an old, unused railroad line into a beautiful, flourishing and popular park. Other cities could learn from this example.
Very nice point of view :)
New York New York big city of dreams and everything in New York ain't always what it seems
You might get fooled if you come from out of town... I took this picture on my way from Brooklyn to Downtown Manhattan during my Visit back in 2010. Maybe you miss something in the Skyline ? Yes, at this Time they were building the Freedom Tower...
Moraine lake is probably one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Every time I visit there's another view, a different configuration of clouds - it's a photogs paradise. Not to mention with all the hikes in the area - it's a good place to spend the day....if you can deal with all the tourists ;)
Thanks for the upvote @czechglobalhosts :)
This is a day-to-night transition photo taken in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I left the camera is one position for a few hours to capture daytime light (with a rainbow), and later the blue hour with light trails.
Awesome view you got there :)
Thank you! Pittsburgh has a nice cityscape. :)
Very interesting.... so is this 2 photos in one
Yes! It was a first attempt at a day-to-night photo.
Great , I see lot of hardwork gone into this. its very creative. And congrats on the win !
Thank you! :D
Photography was created in September 2014, during our 21 days travel in USA. I can still remember that we were just driving around Yosemite National Park when we saw a nice and small rest place to stop. After looking around, that great view came across and almost 4 years later that photo is competing among other fantastic masterpieces.

Monument valley in USA. I made this photo during our family trip across USA, and we drived more than 5000miles across California, Utah, Arizona, Colorado and Nevada.
And this was first time then I see so bright a milky way. I left my daugthers at the hotel few kilometers away from the valley and went to look for stars at night. I was lucky and was able to take a few pictures until the moon rise.
Nice :) I'd love to explore this part of USA myself it looks so awesome
This is gorgeous!
What a fantastic entry! Thank you so much for your contribution. Tomas
Great shot.. one of the best places in US for a roadtrip..
A shot taken while driving on the scenic Pacific Coast Highway (California) from Monterey to Morro Bay.
This region is called Big Sur, and also if it does not have specific boundaries is generally considered to include the coastline segment of California State Route 1 from Malpaso Creek to the entire Santa Lucia range between the rivers.
Sitting on the beach, watching the gentle waves of the beautiful turquoise sea, I had to go grab my camera. I knew I had to share this serene and relaxing scene with other people back home. This is taken in the Turks & Caicos islands in the Caribbean. One paradise that I really want to get back to!
Be sure to check out more of my photography on My Blog! :)
Taken roaming somewhere between Lake Louise, Alberta and Numa falls in late October of last year while a snow storm was approaching on the peak we were on , this is part of the British-Columbia Rockies
This is a photo from two weeks ago when there was an unusual amount of lenticular clouds above and around Mt Shasta in Northern California, USA. Unlike typical days when one cloud forms and remains stationary for a relatively long period of time, this day multiple clouds kept materializing, stay for a few minutes and de-materialize again.

(my original post contains more photos from that same day as I was driving around the area, each with different cloud formations)
Love the clouds on the tip of the mountain !
Thanks @ashwinrajt
