7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - European Thursday week #41 - winner announcement!
@stabilowl European Thursday entry:
This is another photo of Civita di Bagnoregio, the dying city, or the Jewel on the Hill as described by Rick Steve. This place used to be a bustling town during the Medieval times, and apparently used to be much bigger. Unfortunately erosion and earthquake means that the hill started to shrink in size, buildings fell of the cliff and people started to move away. Nowadays it is mainly a tourist attraction. The permanent population at Civita is only about a 100 in summer and can drop to a mere 7 during winter.

This photo is hot off the presses, taken about 20 minutes ago (5:15am) as the sun began to rise over Hollywood, CA. I love being a morning person and getting the chance to see incredible sunrises like this one. I took this from the fire escape stairs on the floor of my building facing east. The church in the photo is the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood.
What a wonderful entry Matt. Thank you so much for joining.
Located on the Niagara River, some 17 miles (27 km) north-northwest of Buffalo, New York, USA and 75 miles (121 km) south-southeast of Toronto, Canada, the Niagara Falls are among the most famous and visited waterfalls in the world. Except for being one of the most recognized natural landmarks in North America, they also serve as a major source of hydroelectric power. I took this image on a cloudy summer day in 2010.
Amazing place, wonderful shot. Thank you for joining.
For this picture at the Niagara Falls I used the full zoom range of my lens and exposed for 5 seconds. For a fee you can reach this viewpoint and enjoy a view of the Horseshoe Falls from below. It's called "journey behind the falls"
Too bad I decided to gor for a shot from this location too :D Yours is just so much better! Awesome capture :)
Haha, thank you, but yours is awesome too! 😀 Hard to compare these two anyway, I hope both will be in the top 10 😊
wow, this is amazing. Don't worry @phortun, yours is cool too. Maybe this one was just taken at a better time of day.
Thanks a lot! 🙂
That is truly spectacular.
Thank you! 🙂
That is one exceptional shot. Voted for you on @czechglobalhosts. Superb!
Thank you so much! 😊
Politics aside, Washington D.C. can be a chaotic place. Masses of tourists and school groups clog the sidewalks, presidential motorcades snarl traffic, and unpredictable weather can ruin even the best laid plans. Visiting the well known monuments and museums can turn into an exhausting affair - unless you're willing to be creative. Wake up early or stay up late and you will be richly rewarded. It's during these semi-deserted off hours that D.C.'s beauty really shines.

Thank you so much for your participation.
My pleasure! Thanks so much for hosting these contests! My sister (who just joined Steemit) was just in the Czech Republic and was in in Jan Hus' church. I sent her the link to your last post commemorating his death:

Winter evening in BC.
Winter evening, with low light watching the sun go down. With low-angle light the snow catches our closest star's rays and makes everything pink. This photo from the northern part of North America looking out over the Pacific makes me think of those cold snowy days...
This post is also on my blog.
Thank you so much for your submission. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on.
Thank you! Thanks for such a cool contest as always.
Akaka Falls on Hawaii
This impressive waterfall is located on Big Island, Hawaii. After I had visited the falls, I had the plan hitchhike a circuit around the north of the island. I got super lucky and the first driver who picked me up had the same plan and was even staying in the same hostel as me, so he drove me around all day!

I have also posted this photo on my blog.
Looks like an endless waterfall. Fantastic!
This Scenic Byway road 12 in Utah, USA is one of the nicest roads I had ever driven through. Our starting point this day was Bryce NP and final destination was Moab. Both destinations are great, but the road in between offers you amazing scenery and it is definitely worth taking time for slow drive through.

Highway 12 is THE most beautiful road I have ever seen!
Yes, I probably made a mistake, when I put Highway 12 among the nicest, because it deserve to be right on the top of my list :)
That ride must be magnificent.
This is one of my favorite locations for sunrise, sunset, and for astrophotography. You can drive around the entire lake and there are plenty of places to camp out and do family activities. You are looking at Mt. Hood from Trillium Lake which is located in Oregon.
Wow! That is a truly spectacular image. Tomas
Thanks, buddy!
Taken at the Woodenshoe Tulip Festival in Woodburn, Oregon.
This place is rows and rows of gorgeous flowers.
We make it a point to go every year.
If you are ever in Oregon during open season, I highly suggest visiting.
Thank you so much for your participation and this wonderful image. Enjoy your weekend.
This is along the Seward Highway near Girdwood Alaska. One of my favorite stretches along the Turnagain Arm Peninsula. During the 1964 earthquake the sea came up quick and killed off all the trees near the water and are still standing today. It's an eerily beautiful sight.
What a great click. Thank yo so much for your entry. Tomas
