7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #25 – winner announcement!
@photofreediver Asian Sunday entry:
When I participated in an expedition on on the island of Sakhalin, the bay "Silent" which is in 150 kilometers to the north of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk became one of points of our travel. It has appeared the amazing place with the mountains, improbable on beauty, entirely covered with the juicy-green woods and the tender ocean washing the sandy coast. Absolute paradise for fans of quiet rest with tents, for fishermen and of course for photographers!

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #25 – winner announcement!
@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:
So here is another entry from beautiful Australia again. This one is a view I found near Katoomba in the Blue Mountains. There are many viewpoints in the area, the most popular being the Three Sisters view. But if you wander along the extensive network of trails along the rim you can also find beautiful views like this, which you will have for yourself.

@narchuk Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans entry:
It was an amazing meeting in the Andaman Sea. Our group dived first and we were lucky to see one manta ray. But the current in that place was so strong that we spent all the air for about 20 minutes. As a result, we came to the surface at the same time when the second group just descended. And we managed to quickly change the tanks and dive a second time. The second dive was long and calm. This lasted about an hour. And at the very end, when we were about to emerge, I saw two manta rays in the depths. All I needed was for a quick dive and only 3 photos. Then I had to come up. It's amazing that no one else saw these manta rays. As if I imagined them)

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #25 – winner announcement!
@fjorenca African Wednesday entry:
When one thinks of the desert, images of yellow rolling sand dunes come to mind. The White Desert of Egypt is nothing like that. This unique scenery of tan and chalk-white landscape is dotted with alien shapes, boulders of brilliant white which thrust up from the surface of the desert. We camped in this dramatic landscape left by an ancient ocean, far far away from civilization.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – European Thursday week #25 – winner announcement!
@ansharphoto with the following entry:
Saint Stephen Basilica in the Morning, Budapest
Ecclesiastical buildings are almost always breathtaking, and this one is no exception. A large, intricate mosaic marks the entry to the basilica (it’s so beautiful that I decided to make it the focus of the shot), and the building’s interior is magisterial. The monumental size of the basilica is really only apparent from the inside, where various marbles and precious stones shimmer in candlelight.

This is another photo from my trip last week to Sayulita, Mexico to celebrate a friend's birthday. Walking down to the dock by the ocean offered an incredible view of the ocean and I took advantage of that for photos. This is a sunset shot I took before going out to a delicious dinner in town. I can't say enough great things about Sayulita and the time I spent there!
this is very beautiful dude you will win
A rare 'blood' Aurora fills the sky across the Northern Rockies. Red or ‘blood' aurora’s are created by oxygen atoms at an altitude of between 200–500 km (120-300miles) colliding in a high energy state and emitting red light at 630 nm. In contrast the more common green aurora are oxygen atoms at a lower altitude of 70-200km (40-120 miles) and lower energy state emitting light at 557.7 nm. In most cases to see a red aurora you need an extremely dark sky and to be looking from a lower latitude across the top layers of a distant high latitude aurora.

★ Beautiful Canadian Wildlife Encounter ★
This photo was taken on our very first roadtrip as a couple in Canada over 11 years ago. We were hiking in the beautiful National Park of Gaspesie, Quebec, Canada, when this majestic moose crossed our path. The animal was splendid minding in own business with no fear as we observed him respectfully. We were lucky to have these beautiful sun rays over him creating this green and dark contrast. (we are no professional photographers but love photos and and still love this photo that reminds us of this beautiful instant).
OMG ! great looking moose. I'm originally from the near by Campbellton/point a la croix, it's been a while since I got a good view of a moose, they are an elusive creature here in the west.
We had been living in Montreal for few months and this was our first hike in Gaspesie, it just appeared and we had never seen one in our entire lives - Amazing sight you are lucky to live in such a beautiful area of Quebec!
Wow lucky you then, your first sight!! Growing up there, moose were the biggest road hazard an saw them every day ( they blend in the twilight and darkness) and cause many car fatalities. Beautiful animal nonetheless! The scenery in Quebec/and New -Brunswick is splendid especially in the Appalachians and the Gaspe coast( covers the entire bay on both sides and different than the town of Gaspe but essentially the same area) but I had to leave because of limited work prospects. On a good note I got to play Frisbee with a moose on my last weekend there(They like to catch it like a dog...oddly enough. Friendly and curious giant but unpredictable when it feels threatened). I upgraded to the Rockies since then :) I'm glad you enjoyed your couple's trip to my homeland and had new experiences!
Oh wahoo, didn't realise, I guess it's like deers in France or Kangaroo in Australia crossing the roads.
We loved our time there, we lived 7 months in Montreal and spent a good 1.5 weeks in Gaspesie during our roadtrip. We spotted bears at the light house in the Forillon National Park as well, that was a little bit scary! Love your country!
"Skies on fire" was taken last week on my recent visit to Alberta's Elk island National Park. A bison/buffalo sanctuary located near Edmonton. Astotin lake has some of the most colorful sunsets as the sun starts to hide behind the false Island that attracts many local photographers.
I drive over this bridge every day on my way home. It is the entrance to Saratoga Springs, the city where I live. Under the bridge is a long pathway that follows a small river that feeds into Utah Lake. There are so many different birds that can be seen along the river during the warmer months.
When you're way up there the air is a little thinner... but the beauty is a little greater. Climbing up to Ha Ling Peak is an amazing experience. It's so close to the city, but it makes it look like you're miles from civilization. An incredible hike in the Rockies and is worth the effort and time.
The striking streets of San Francisco in California, an excellent place for sightseeing, meeting places and incredible people. I wanted to take a photo specifically to the street because I think the tram is something characteristic of this city.
Havasu Falls is a spectacular waterfall which flows over a beautiful travertine formation. Havasu Creek which is spring fed flows through Supai indian village. The Havasupai Indian Reservation is an isolated community with no access roads and is part of the Grand Canyon National Park System. Arizona,USA.
I took this photo in Sedona, AZ. It was taken from a little park-like area found on the road leading up to the airport mesa. I love Sedona's red rock formations. The sunset and rainbow highlights them nicely.
Mount Assiniboine, the "Matterhorn of the Canadian Rockies", in British Columbia. Visiting Assiniboine requires either a long hike or a helicopter ride. I backpacked in and spent a couple of days in what may be the most spectacular part of Canada.
Congratulations @derekkind this is a beautiful photo!
