@dboontje Asian Sunday entry:
This is Lake Ala Kol in Kyrgyzstan. You'll find this lake high up in the mountains near the city Karakol. A lot of people make the effort to hike up all the way up and see the blueness of this glacier lake. To us it was breathtaking.

A drone view of the volcanic lagoons of the coast of Iceland. The coastlines of Iceland can be harsh and ugly or beautiful and peaceful depending on where you go and when you visit. The volcanic nature of some areas give rise to unique environments, such as this.

@axeman African Wednesday entry:
Moon Connection. Perfect and almost Marsian view passing up the Nile from Luxor to Aswan on a small cruise ship.
The right place and right moment to catch the Moon and the Mosque almost at same line, showing their connection to each other... Stunning a bit reddish colors of sunset adds a lot of drama. Enjoy it!

View of a river flowing through a forested part of Medellin. Home to some 2.5 million people, Medellin is the second-largest city in Colombia, after Bogota, and the capital of the department of Antioquia. I took this shot in May earlier this year.
The epic hike to the Rainbow Mountain in Peru is one of my most unforgettable trips in South America. It's exhausting to walk on the highland with an elevation of almost 5000 metres, but it's totally worth it when I got to see all the colorful landscapes and lovely alpacas.
Waterfalls near Banos, Ecuador
A popular activity in Banos is to rent a bicycle and ride down the "waterfall route" that descends from the Andean town to the outskirts of the Amazon. Since there are quite a few tourists taking the same route every day, there was a truck available that took me and the bicycle back up to Banos after a fantastic day. If bike rides could only always be this easy!

San Cristobal Cathedral
The Cathedral of San Cristóbal or Barcelona Cathedral is a religious building of the Catholic Church in the historic center of the city of Barcelona, capital of the Anzoátegui State in northwestern Venezuela. This Church, although it began in 1748, was officially created in 1773 by the Spanish colonizers which was the first church, consecrated in the region. In 1777, the Bishop of Puerto Rico, Manuel Jiménez Pérez, brought the remains of San Celestino to the church from Rome. His remains were placed in a baroque reliquary and located in a small chapel on the left wing of the church. The martyr San Celestino has since been revered by the inhabitants of Barcelona as the Patron of the city.
The 'Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino'. Made famous for being the death place of Simón Bolívar. It is now converted as a tourist site where you can visit the garden, the museum and the historical monuments.
As this is the last day of 100th week I will do my best to impress Tomas and the rest of you here at Steemit community.
Photo is from Bolivia, from more than 4.000 meters altitude where air is much different then in our usual world. It is near more famous Atacama desert, but it is as spectacular. Place below is Laguna Blance.

Sunset in Boca de Río - Margarita Island
Wonderful afternoon of a walk with my family in Boca de Río, we stopped and in the meantime I took advantage of photographing this sunset; In the distance you can see some hills that stand out in the sunlight, and some fishermen picking up the net.
Military monument of the city of Barcelona. Capital of the Anzoátegui-Venezuela State
It is located on the banks of the Neverí River that crosses this city until it flows into the sea. In its surroundings there are paths that residents visit either to cool off on the banks of the river or to perform aerobic activities.
South America is the perfect location to connect with nature and admire what it as to offer. Everywhere you go, you can see superb landscape. Here in Bolivia, the laguna is just perfect.
