@bluebottlefilms Australian Monday entry:
In Sydney, we get some pretty cracking electrical storms every now and then. This bolt of lightning literally lit up the sky over Sydney's CBD almost hitting the iconic Sydney Tower.

@dmytrokorol Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:
We had been finishing our road trip in 2014 in a town of Hel, Poland. We just checked in in a hotel when I realized, something was happening with the light. I grabbed my gear and ran to the sun hoping there should be the sea. Happily, Hel located on a peninsula and the sun were setting on the shore in the shortest distance from me. On the beach, I noticed the seagulls and thought they could be a nice foreground. But they noticed me too, so I ended up trying to catch them and the waves in one shot.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #26 – winner announcement!
@ansharphoto African Wednesday entry:
Quiver Trees, Namibia. The Afrikaners called the trees kokerboom, but because their fibrous, pulpy trunks are easy to hollow out and were once widely used as quivers for arrows for bushmen, they are known as quiver trees. The trees are naturally found in only this one relatively small part of Africa, and typically grow alone, like curiously-formed sentinels guarding the landscape. There are fewer than two hundred of them left in the world.

I took this photo last September in the Borgarbyggð municipality of western Iceland. The landscape here is very rocky with beautiful gorges and glaciers and it's unique because of the volcanic activity that makes for some great photos. I missed some of the big landmarks during my trip like Blue Lagoon, so eventually I feel like I need to make another trip here again. But I loved my time there!
At first glance, I thought you got confused with the days since I thought it is the Grand Canyon then I realized I am the one that is confused! Great entry!
Thanks! Well, I'll be honest about two things. First, I've come close on a few days of posting the wrong continent but realized my mistake. And second, even though it's only one state over, I've never been to the Grand Canyon. I really need to make the trip there!
Spectacular Sunset in Oia, Santorini
Everyone knows Santorini for its famed blue and white churches, but it’s equally famous for its sunsets, so much so that crowds of tourists gather at certain points on the island for the best views. Oia, in particular, is regarded as one of best places on the island to watch the sun go down. In summer, which is the high tourist season in Santorini — finding a spot to oneself is all but impossible.
This is a beautiful shot, as a result I have added Santorini to my travel list. Thank you for sharing. Also I saw your gallery that your image links to, it is breathtaking! Great work
Superb! Today is very tough, so many amazing images!
Something from Germany today. One of the very rare photos, which I took just a few kilometers from where I live here in Franconia. The landscapes around here are not very photogenic, normally I have to drive at least 200km to find something to photograph. But in summer, when the sunflowers bloom, this is different.
Can´t wait to cycle through the field of those! Love it!
Peak season is July ;-)
Another photo of the township of Hallstatt, this time in the middle of a stormy afternoon, looking across to the wharf from the lakeside walkway. The low lying clouds covered the mountains behind the town, making it look mysterious and misty, while some afternoon sun still managed to shine onto the storm clouds illuminating the buildings along the waterfront. A view that is worth getting wet for!
Not just another photo, another amazing photo:)!
Thank you Tomas! Glad you liked it!

Bad Muskau Castle, Germany.
Last year we had a couple of days in beautiful Bad Muskau. I was so lazy that morning that almost gave up to jump off the bed. But I did it. Sunrise was coming, and I had so little time to get to the place I had found the previous day. My award was this beautiful sky, the sunlight touching the tower through rare gaps in the clouds and amazingly calm water in the lake.
Great entry! Thank you so much for your participation. Tomas
Yet another colourful and very calm evening at Baltic Sea coast, nearby Klaipeda, Lithuania. This time used nice stone at foreground as a central part of composition. Also got some nice reflection out there :)
Enjoy it!

Stunning as always!
In urban traffic jams, there may be some benefit. On weekends, to get into the country, one must leave the city long before dawn. Otherwise, there is a risk of staying in traffic for the whole day. Therefore, we arrived at the great Russian river Volga around 6 am. The sun was just getting ready to rise. Fog hovered above the water. There was a rare silence. We did not have any
Wow, what an incredible shot! Well done.
In August of last year, I went with friends to dive to Cape Tarhankut. And there Jellyfish was abundant. Knowing that the pictures of these jellyfish have already made an incredible amount, I wanted to try to take them off as something unusual. There were two ideas.
The first is to take a picture in half water at sunset.
Sunsets always look good, and in half the water, all the more.
Incredible capture! Thank you so much for your submission. Tomas
It is located at the mouth of the Tagus River, in the neighborhood of Santa Maria de Belém, southwest of Lisbon. It was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1983.
And I had the joy of contemplating the sunset in this beautiful place.
Thank you so much for your submission! What a wonderful entry! Tomas
The small port of Santa Lucia Naples-Italy has retained all its charm, nestled between a rocky island and the jetty that connects it to the shore. It is home to yachts and a host of friendly bars. From the pier, one enjoys an admirable view of Mount Vesuvius and the western part of the Gulf. If, at nightfall, you move a little towards Piazza Vittoria, the view of the Vomero and the brilliant Pausilippo of all their storied buildings becomes magical.
What a wonderful contribution. Thank you so much for supporting my contest. Tomas
