7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #18 – winner announcement!
@vinceboisgard Asian Sunday entry:
The majestic Taj-Mahal made of white marble. Build for a princess and unfortunately used as a tomb where she sleeps for ever. The roof is made of Star Diopside Gems that shine like stars when the moon is full. This is a magnificent place to see and visit.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #18 – winner announcement!
@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:
Here's something from famous Milford Sound for you. I travelled New Zealand's South Island back a few years ago and at first I was a bit sceptical as to, if this location could live up to all the hype around it. But it didn't dissapoint. Milford Sound is one of the most spectacular locations I have ever visited. The drive there alone was already worth the visit. Then I even got lucky with this sunset.

@easycome Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans entry:
Every year, like for 3 years, I draw lots with my girlfriend to see which place to visit in September/October, it's like our vacation trip. But occasionally we do getaways, in Europe to do it with low-cost companies is very economic and easy, which if it is true that I never thought that Iceland was a country that gave so much of itself. Has everything, and very freezing too! From now on, in order to give more truthfulness to the photos, I will tell you the parameters used when taking the picture, so that there are less confusions.So... The Parameters used were: 14mm | f/16 | 15s | ISO 100
Camera: Fujifilm X-E2

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #18 – winner announcement!
@tbarett African Wednesday entry:
I got the chance to go on a safari in Tanzania. We were driving along and suddenly a herd of wild African Elephants came towards us. One of the little ones got a bit itchy I suppose, and came to start rubbing on the log in front of our vehicle. Looks like he's posing for the camera!

Everybody loves Amsterdam, but today I want to give some love to the city just a quick train ride away, Rotterdam. When people tell me they're going to visit the Netherlands I always tell them to take the time for a visit to Rotterdam. The city's historic center was completely bombed and destroyed by Germany in WWII, so you don't see many old buildings in Rotterdam. Instead, post-war Rotterdam cultivated and encouraged cutting edge and modern architecture. The creative, beautiful modern buildings here are a wonderful testament to rebuilding after tragedy. Anyone who loves architecture needs to see this city.
I like how you describe your image each time - filled with details and emotion =) love Rotterdam too, clicked tons of pics of the Cube Houses and the market building ;)
I got goosebumbs while reading this, great shot!
They are imaginary images they are Beautiful and wonderful photos
Faroba Tourist Area It is a continent of beauty
Thanks for sharing photos.
On my last day in Santorini, I entered one of these churches — the famous blue-domed Saint Theodore. My plan was to take a few last photos of Fira and its sunsets, and walking through its winding streets, I happened to come upon this view — the magnificent Saint Theodore Church in early evening sunlight. The view was all the more special because I knew my time in Santorini was coming to an end, and like all visitors to the island, I was completely charmed by the place.
As it happened, I didn’t capture one of Fira’s vivid sunsets that day. But what I did capture was all of the essential elements of Santorini in one image — its pastel-hued architecture against black, volcanic cliffs and the deep blue of the sea. And there’s something here, I hope, of the strength and faith of its residents. As for that last sunset – now I have a good reason to go back.
Most of the Greece islands are charming. They have beautiful view of sea, white and blue colored houses, tasty sea foods.
Wow, it’s such a great angle, different from the common ones. It looks like a painting. And your description is so poetic :D
Beautiful view and description!
Do you know that there's a lot of resort here in the Philippines trying to copy the beauty of Santorini.
Two years ago I visited the beautiful Algarve. We had a little house on the cliffs, not far from Praia da Marinha. I went there each morning, trying to take a good photo. But only after three failed attempts I got the right light. The view from the cliffs is awesome. The light on the last morning was the icing on the cake.
That's fabulous. Great work. You will win this competition hands down. I am now subscribed to your blog. Cheers.
Thanks a lot!
Very Welcome. Looking forward to more fabulous pictures.
Good picture
One of the coolest photos of Algarve I have ever seen. Astonishing capture.
Hey, can you get out of this challenge? Your photos are always too good - difficult for others to win. Haha, kidding... thanks for sharing your beautiful work, it’s a visual feast every time. =)
Hehe.. I think there's enough great work and competition ;-)
Whoah!! This photo is so amazing .. Me i cannot even take this kind of photo.. You did great
I was thinking about submitting a photo but now I will just stand here and watch you win. Great skill.

Looking good!
Superb photo!
Wow! Really it is impossible to compete with you )
Klaipeda old town last summer. View from the bridge. Shot during Tallship 2017 races, when over 100 sailing ships and sea yachts came inside the port for a weekend
Long exposure
Enjoy the scenery :)

This is Puente Nuevo, a bridge that was built between 1751 and 1793 in Ronda (southern Spain), an andalusian ancient city well known for its history & architectural beauty. It's, perhaps, the most emblematic monument of the beautiful old town...
Wow, that scene looks incredible! Impressive blend or architecture and nature. Thanks for adding Ronda to my travel list :)
Hi @phortun ... It's undoubtedly a city worth visiting!
Cheers!
Metewra fakos 18-105 Nikkon 7100
Standing at a higher ground at Metewra Greece, I decided to take this shot right before sunset. This is taken at Iera Moni Rousanou I hope you love the view and maybe visit that magic place even for just once
That's such a neat old gnarled hill! Never seen anything like that.
Thant's awesome! One day I'll have to visit this myself
Impressive photo!
Really stunning shot........
This is my entry:
I am not traveling much, so many of my photos are taken at the same city of Vilnius, but I try to produce high quality content. Blue hour over traffic lights. Single 30 sec exposure and wide angle lens. I like smoke trails and how they complete top of the frame, also they look surreal while everything else is crisp and sharp. Enjoy.
Vilnius rocks! Your shot too. I was pleasantly surprised by this artistic city. ❤️
Thanks! Feel free to visit this artistic city ;)
I captured this part of the Gotthard Pass during a road trip in Europe. It’s an important mountain pass in the Alps at 2,106 m, connecting northern and southern Switzerland, and is crossed by three long traffic tunnels. What an exciting ride! =)

The Road To Hekla is paved with good intentions.
Hekla is a mountain in southern Iceland famous for its frequent volcanic activity. One of Iceland's most active volcanos, it is known as the Gateway to Hell. And this road will lead you there.
The mountain is often shrouded in cloud - I was lucky on this day to be able to see the top half.
Thank you so much for hosting this contest, @czechglobalhosts. I'm having a great time going through my photos from different parts of the world! :)
Beautiful
p.s. thanks for informing me about the contest... i think i got in with like a couple minutes to spare.
You're welcome! Yeah, I just got in too, I had some time critical work to do - everything happens at once!
Stunning shot. Dark and moody! ;)
Good luck.
Thank you, @shadalene! :)
One of my favorites of yours! 👏
Thank you, Casey!! :D
Awesome scenery, looks like a lonely road to darkness.
Epic mate.
