7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #32 – winner announcement!
@travelshots Asian Sunday entry:
The Marina Bay Sands Hotel is one of Singapores landmarks. Unfortunately it's allowed only for hotel guests to relax at the infinity pool on the top. Nevertheless it's possible for everyone to buy a ticket for the "Skypark" that is located right next to the pool. So you can enjoy the same breathtaking view of Singapores skyline from there!

@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:
Dinosauer Eggs at Moeraki beach.. Or mayby just uniquely formed rocks?? In any case it's a extraordinary location with all those round boulders littering the sand. The morning I visited I was even lucky with the light and got those beautiful pastle colors.

@softa Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:
The island of Tenerife is a great place to shoot seascape photography because it lies in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. So the only thing that can block your pictures are just clouds. That's one of the reasons why I come back every year, and every time I bring pictures like this one.

@travelingmom African Wednesday entry:
A colorful Sunset in Madagascar mesmerizes us with the artistic richness of a impressionist painting. The water picks them up, to remix them into a powerful symphony of shapes and hues that surround us on all sides. Marvelous!

This is a photo from my trip to Costa Rica in May 2014 to celebrate a friend's birthday. We stayed at Villas Hermosas, a small villa on the west coast in Puntarenas. The hosts were beyond incredible and made the weekend even better. This specific photo was taken during an ATV ride through the jungle to a secluded beach where we had an incredible lunch at a local restaurant. Not surprisingly from the clouds in the photo, there was also a downpour of rain briefly that felt wonderful in the hot, humid weather.
My first entry for the South American Contest!
I finally got my pictures from our visit to Argentina about 13 years ago. We went around Salta in the western Andes region, what an impressive landscape. And yes, really colorful!!
Your first entry for the South American Continent. That deserves some recognition:)...
Cheers. I hope you like the picture too :)
25 years ago, Medellín of Colombia was dubbed as "the most dangerous city on earth"("Narcos" anyone?). I visited this impressive eternal-spring city and its Comuna 13(in my photo), which used to be the most violent neighborhood in Medellín. This notorious area tucked away in rolling mountains managed to reinvent itself from the drug and gang wars. Now it's known for the colorful houses adorned with graffiti.
Amazing shot Donica. I can't believe you went there to get this amazing shot. That took some serious bravery.
Thanks Wes =). I went with another traveler I met earlier, and he was nervous walking around there, saying we could be shot any time. But I found the locals pretty friendly and busy in living, I didn't see any reason they would hurt us. Maybe I was too positive but luckily nothing bad happened.
What a great shot as well as info. Thank you so much for that.
Thank you so much for sharing your shot.... fabulous image.
The best sunsets in Venezuela can be seen in the bay of Juan Griego, which is on Margarita Island. This is a town dedicated to fishing, that's why there will always be boats on its banks; The colors that gives us the sunsets of this place are wonderful and charming for everyone. It is a very relaxing place for anyone who visits it.
Wow, this is such a beautiful array of colors. The photos of Margarita Island I've seen in this contest made me really want to visit it. :)
I hope you can go to that beautiful island to visit it, it is one of the most beautiful in the Caribbean.
This image is just simply amazing. Sky, boats, birds gives it so much character. Just stunning. Tomas
Thank you very much, I'm glad you liked it.
Stars over Chile with the town of Vicuña causing nice light pollution in the valley below. Vicuña, in the Elqui Valley is a great place for stargazing because it has over 300 clear nights a year. Not only is Vicuña a great place to visit in Chile but it also happens to be the name of one my four favorite South American Camelid species.
This is a cool capture! "Nice light pollution", haha... Vicuña is indeed the most elegant camelid there. I was in Elqui Valley too and had a similar star picture as yours. :) Did you also try horse riding and visiting the pisco distillery?
Thanks! I didn't go horseback riding but I rented a mountain bike and visited some of the distilleries. Although in retrospect biking and pisco probably aren't the best two activities to combine.
Wow, that is so stunning. Fantastic job.

Mount Fitz Roy, Argentina. When I've spent 6 days in the woods looking at this landscape I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I felt obsessed by the complexity of those granite peaks to a point where I've started thinking I could simply keep on going up and up until I touched the snow. And I did. Halfway through I came back to reality and went down to the touristic area. What a great place!
Thank you so much for your participation with this beautiful image. Glad to hear you had a blast over there.
And thank you for hosting such an amazing contest!
And I am not surprised at all it was. What a beautiful wonder of the nature. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us.
Machu Picchu (Old Mountain) is the contemporary name given to an ancient Andean town in Peru, on the rocky promontory that joins the Machu Picchu, Putucusi and Huayna Picchu mountains on the eastern slope of the Central Cordillera, in southern Peru. Machu Picchu is considered a masterpiece of architecture and engineering, its peculiar architectural and landscape features, and the veil of mystery that has woven around much of the literature published on the site, have made it one of the most popular tourist destinations on the planet.
And we also find a llama that is the native animal and characteristic of these places, these are very cared for by all citizens
Machu Pichu never disappoints. Thank you for adding your portion of it to 7WCPC.
I stayed for 3 days in a beautiful hostel with an excellent view on the Cotopaxi. The only problem: clouds. In the end this was the clearest shot I could get, but still, it was an incredible feeling to see this humungous beauty of the nature.
Yep, that is one hell of the view! Great entry. Thank you.
