The Malaysian island Langkawi is an amazing place to explore by scooter! After one day of driving around the island, I found myself looking at this beautiful sunset, so I stopped on the roadside to capture the silhouette of this mosque in the last light of the day.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #30 – winner announcement!

@intrepidphotos Australian Monday entry:

The Natural Bridge is a naturally formed rock arch over Cave Creek, a tributary of the Nerang River. It was formed from a waterfall which undercut a cave beneath the waterfall and dug a pothole on top, until the two joined and the creek flowed through the cave, leaving an arch across the front. The bridge is located in Springbrook National Park in the Gold Coast hinterland of Queensland, Australia.

The one thing that really amazed me about Tel Aviv, Israel are the beautiful beaches. There are 13 officials beaches that stretch up and down almost 10 miles of coastline. I felt like I was in Miami or Santa Monica, CA as I walked along the boardwalks along the ocean. I've posted my best beach/ocean photos from here before, but I still like editing ones I haven't posted just because I love the memories from this trip.

Jörkusarlon - Glacier Lagoon / Iceland

I've never seen any place like this one before. Big chunks of ice floating in the water, seals jumping and playing, the ice making weird cracking sounds and seagulls and other birds flying around. Big blue icebergs in the middle of the lagoon and tiny pieces on the shore. Too bad we didn't have a great sunset but anyways seeing this place was amazing. And it's all just water!

Thank you so much for your participation! Fabulous entry.


Winter cold sunset at Baltic Sea coast, Lithuania. Quite long exposure make the moving ice pieces to look like ghosts. Still warm colors of dawning sun making the view much more interesting due color contrast

Enjoy it!

Yep, that indeed is one hell of a picture! Excellent!

Sunrise in Similan islands in Thailand. The islands are national parks in pristine conditions. The sand is the softest I’ve ever stepped foot on and the water is a shade of blue I didn’t know existed. The Thai government allows you to camp there for a few nights with proper permit. To watch the sunrise, we hiked through the jungle in the dark, with strange, creepy jungle noises and intense rope climbing up steep and muddy hills, unaware that this magical ocean view was waiting.

Very nice point of view :) ... I wish my home was right where you shot this photo from and the view out the window to look like this fabulous landscape. Great capture!

Thank you! Aha, luckily (or unluckily) no buildings are allowed on the island, so...no such home view is possible. However, the boats are the next great option :)

Let's imagine ...
The Earth is only a small part of the ocean that comes to the top. The fact that a person can not spend a long time under the surface of the water does not change anything. We can only walk on land on land, while in water we can move in all 3 directions. That is, in the ocean we are dealing with a volume, and not with a plane as on land.

Thus the inhabited world beneath the surface is much larger than its land neighbor. And this world is almost unexplored. Although, of course, the damaging effect of mankind is largely present there.
And to see all this in its original form you need to get very far. It's good that such places still exist. For example, like this part of West Papua.
Where the corals are almost not the effect of bleaching (discoloration). And at the bottom do not lie bottles and bags.

This is so cool. I miss snorkling from when I lived in Japan. I bet the water was so nice. Great shot.

Thank you!

Oh, how I wish to jump in that water right now and do some exploring! You have an amazing hobby!

Yes, I also would like to dive now)

We've seen many dream beaches during our 7 years of traveling, some of the top beaches we've seen were in Sri Lanka, Curacao and the Yukatan but the Praia do Ribeira do Cavalo was truly something else. That milky blue water made my photographer heart jump!

I just spent a day in Sri Lanka few days back. I really wish to have a bit more time there to find a beach just like this one:).... Beautiful!

For this one you don't have to travel too far ... it close to Lisbon. Maybe I should have mentioned it in the text. Sorry :)

This is a such a beautiful shot. It would be so nice to have a beach all to yourself like this.

near dusk, ulee lheue almost every evening always presents a glowing ray like gold. Ulee Lheue is a village with the location of the nearest sea from the city of Banda Aceh and is located at the tip of the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. From Ulee lheueu we can go directly to the island of Aceh and also Pulau Weh or often called the island of Sabang.

This is an awesome shot. The reflection of the sun on the water is great with the silhouette of the surfer. Great job.

Thank You @derangedvisions 🙏
Will always be a tremendous moment while witnessing the beauty of people's activities in the twilight.

Wow! That sure is an excellent shot!

The tour is great for a good overview of Oahu Island. The sunrise at Wawamalu Beach Park is great, but we also liked the other stops, like the Byodo-In Temple or the Banzai Pipeline. Our guide was very knowledgeable and knew a lot and also helped with the settings of the camera.

Wow! That really is an awesome image!

Walking to the end of the jetty to find this feeling of being surrounded by water. As if I was far from anything and free. Breathing the fresh air coming from the ocean and listening to the sound of the waves... There I feel alive.

The Universe gives hope for the coolness of the evening sunset. This life teaches us that there are times when we are strong and there is a time when we begin to dusk toward the old age. this scene gives us a lesson for real life.
enjoying the sunset view is indeed soothing. peaceful peace and the radiant color that is given radiates to make us marvel at its beauty.
