7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #14 – winner announcement!

@jh3n Australian Monday entry:

This year I spent nearly 10 months traveling around Australia exploring and discovering places I have never thought existed. This self-timed shot wasn't the easiest photo I've taken, the tripod was sitting on the tiny ledge of the walls with water flowing underneath.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Tuesday of Antarctica and the world’s oceans week #14 – winner announcement!

@justdentist Tuesday of Antarctica and world's oceans entry:

Calm and dangerous - The world's oceans

Many people work "on the water" - Fishermen, workers on drilling islands, marines, crewmembers of cruiseships. The work can be wonderful but also pretty dangerous in some situations. The images shows the peaceful sunrise on the Ijesselmeer in the Netherlands.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #14 – winner announcement!

@mibreit-photo African Wednesday entry:

I took this photo five years ago on La Digue, one of the Seychelle islands a little north-east of Madagascar in the midst of the indian ocean. It's a wonderful little island with many beautiful little beaches. This here is Anse Source D'Argent, which is maybe one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

I can't wait to return there in two months :-)

@axeman with the following entry:

Another stormy sunset at Baltic Sea, nearby Klaipeda, Lithuania. My usual location for a shooting, but this time was quite lucky to get some interesting piece of wood ashore, which visually was quite similar to some kind of a fish...
Stormy sky and long exposure did the trick.

Enjoy the scenery!

This is another photo from my Christmas Day trip down to Hermosa Beach, CA. With no traffic, it's only a 35 minute drive from Hollywood, but this isn't a place I go to often at all. I thought it would be nice to get some sunset shots at the beach and if I'm being honest, I was running out of good North American photos for this contest so I decided to make some new ones! So thank you Tomas for inspiring me to go to the beach!

Awesome shot as usual dude :) this beach always looks so nice!

Lower Antelope Canyon - Arizona

Close by the famous Horse Shoe Band is the lower Antelope Canyon. Formed over ten thousand of years this "Slot Canyon", also called "Tse bighnilini" in the native american language, is a magnet for tourist. We visited the lower canyon in 2016 and it was worth every penny! But expect masses of tourists, so better book the tour in advance!

Great image, thank you for your participation. Please stay tuned for the winner announcement coming shortly.

This is one of my all time favorite photos and also one of my first real landscape shots. I took it 9 years ago on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. As I arrived at Yaki Point in the pre-dawn darkness thick clouds were still covering the sky. So I explored and waited, not knowing if the sun would show up that morning. But finally the clouds parted a bit and let the sun glimpse through for a few minutes. The display of light that morning was magical, a moment I will never forget.

this is just heavenly .. an amazing shot u have got

Awesome scenery!

really beautiful

Fantastic shot, the location is epic but the light really makes this one!

Absolutely gorgeous! I am glad you find your way to my challenge. You are just producing so many beautiful images.

The Plaza Hotel.
This well-known hotel is located in Manhattan, next to Central Park and Fifth Avenue and only a few steps from famous shops. Everyone knows this building from famous movie Home Alone 2. I took this photo in X-mas time in 2015.

Home alone, huh? That brings back some childhood memories of that movie. Thank you for sharing. Tomas

I visited Washington DC in September 2010 after finishing my work-and-travel program. The city is very different from other US metropolises as it lacks the typical high-rise skyline. Instead, it is full of majestic government buildings, consulates, museums etc. The US Capitol is definitely the most impressive one :)

Thank you so much for your entry. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming soon. Tomas

Seattle Harbour

This was one of our favourite places in seattle, we both just loved everything about the harbour, culminating with this beautiful view of the mountains, framed perfectly by the boats and sculpture at the end. For us, Seattle all felt very familiar, not just the TV references, but the climate was a million miles away from what we're used to here in the UK. With open minded, friendly people, it's an amazing place to visit!

That looks just fabulous!

Thank you :) and thanks for the mention :)

New York City at dusk taken from the Empire State Building. I shot a series of photos, trying to capture the moment when the lights on the buildings balanced with the fading light. You can clearly see Broadway cutting its way diagonally across the city, and, towards the top left of the picture, Brooklyn Bridge.

Wow, what a view!

What a fabulous image! Thank you so much for your participation. Tomas

This was one of the greatest sunsets i have ever seen. I was on a roadtrip in the USA from Mount Rushmore to the Yellowstone National Park. When I got up in the morning everything was white and it was snowing in mid September! After hours of driving and bad weather the sky suddenly opened up, the sun came through and everything got a golden glow. This lastet only for a few seconds but i was lucky enough to stop the car and capture the photo.

Absolutely beautiful. I had to check your credibility since you are new here which took me to your website. I have to say that I am happy you did find your way here. You are taking some amazing images and cannot wait to see more of them being entered to my challenges. Have a great day and stay tuned for the winner announcement coming soon. Tomas

Thank You. Steemit is an amazing community. I will try my luck in your upcoming challenges... :)

Lake Louise, Alberta-Canada

image

Surrounded by soaring mountains this glacial lake with emerald color water is one of the must visit places in Canada. Best way to enjoy the beauty of the lake is to walk around the lake in the nature trail. This photograph was taken back in September when we visited Banff National Park during our two weeks road trip.

Great pic and contribution to the challenge. Welcome onboard. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement. Tomas

Thank you Tomas !

San Francisco Seal Rocks at sunset. This is a group of rocks just off the coast near the Cliff House and Sutro Baths ruins, both of which are tourist destinations in San Francisco, CA, USA. I was fortunate to live here for a number of years.

What a stunning shot once again. Truly amazing!
