Palms at Sunset in Hawaii. Hawaii is a place of incredible natural beauty. In 2016, I spent 12 days hitchhiking around Big Island. This was the first Hawaiian sunset that I experienced, near the place where I put up my tent.

@amyalfatasya Asian Sunday entry:
The island located on the Indonesian border is the island of Sabang. This small island saves a million natural beauty. A stunning beach, and underwater beauty that makes this island very crowded with foreign tourists. A photo that I took on the Ujoeng beach kareung at sunrise some time ago on Sabang island.

@bluebottlefilms Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:
The beauty and grace of these creatures is astonishing. They glide effortlessly around our oceans impressing all that pass them by. This particular one had an interesting colouration that I had not seen before.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - European Thursday week #58 - winner announcement!
@fotostef European Thursday entry:
Walking around Argos today, you can't suspect it has been inhabited since the Neolithic period! It is the biggest town in Argolis and a major centre for the area but all you can see is a small city not any different from many others in Greece.
And yet it has been continuously inhabited as at least a substantial village for the past 7,000 years and is a member of the Most Ancient European Towns Network!

Panoramic view of the Philadelphia skyline as captured from the top of the Rocky Steps that are found right in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The museum administers collections containing over 240,000 objects including major holdings of European, American and Asian origin.
Wow, that is a pretty huge collection. Have a great weekend!
Last week I showed a photo of Mount Rundle at Banff National Park (Alberta, Canada). In this opportunity I share other photo of this interesting mountain, from a different angle and it gives a quite different view. The photo is in colour, even though I am an enthusiast of black and white, this image looks quite well in B&W.
Amazing piece of nature! Thank you for sharing once again.
Grand Canyon
This week I am featuring my home state of Arizona. I took two of my friends from the east coast to see the Grand Canyon. This view is from the South Rim as the sun is setting. It is really an amazing sight!
Wow! It's almost unbelievable how massive and beautiful the Grand Canyon is!
Thanks. Yes it is really spectacular.
Excellent! I was just saying how has it been a while since we had GC in the contest and here we go, the second entry in one day. Perfect!
Thanks Tomas glad I could add to the Grand Canyon submissions today.
Palm Springs from above
It's kind of a bizzare scenery. Sand everywhere and in the middle you have this crazy city of Palm Springs. Close my the San Jacinto State Park with huge green trees and fresh cool air. First we thought: Why should we ride the overpriced cable way up the mountain? Just to take a look around? Well ... it was worth every penny.
I am sure it was! Have a great weekend.
Caribbean 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. This beach is located right next to the amazing Maya ruins of Tulum.

I have also posted this photo on my blog.
I like how it is surrounded by the rocks. It sure looks like an amazing place for a swim despite all the algae.
It surely is :)
Photo below is slightly different, but I like taking trees, branches etc. on photo.
What is at the background? It is the mighty Grand Canyon... You can also see Colorado River flows their way and as this shot was taken at the start of golden hour that spices the photo a bit more…

Oh, I love that place... It's been a while since it appeared in the contest. Thank you so much for that.
Hi @czechglobalhosts

New Hampshire - Purity Springs Lake. The Lake is know for her nature of purity, reflecting everything she sees in her. The Lake is surrounded by maple and willow trees. A small highway runs on one corner of the lake which makes the people near to the reflection

That image is gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing.
Hey @czechglobalhosts, I'm back!
And what a better way to start with North America.
Vancouver owns many bridges, but this was the best looking in the dark. The Lions Gate Bridge connects the city centre and north Vancouver. In the right of the photo, just above the trees you can see some fireworks celebrating the day of light.
I am glad to hear that and get your beautiful image full of colors. Have a good one and hope to see you back soon.
Enchantment
I had been watching the smoke from a nearby forest fire drift towards Arches N P. Utah USA. The sunset colors were appearing as I hurried to find a spot to photograph what would become an enchanting scene. The smoke drifted over at the right time and it was amazing to watch.
Wow, that is epic! You have such an amazing backyard:)
It's one of the best backyards in the world, thanks!
New York skyline has always fascinated me. All these tall buildings packed in one place, and these bridges built with style to link Manhattan Island to the shore. Seeing this cityscape from a distance gives you an idea of how big it is!
Enjoy :)
Location: New York, USA
That view is just great and one could stare at it forever!
