This was a sunset over the Pacific Ocean from two weeks ago. After a day of meetings I was close to the beach, so I decided to drive to Manhattan Beach to watch the sunset and take some photos. For those not familiar with Los Angeles, Manhattan Beach is just south of Santa Monica Beach and is a popular place for volleyball and surfing. It was definitely a nice way to end a long day of work.

Looks like a great way of ending the day!

I need to live by a beach so I can go there after a long day. I don't even have a tub that is big enough to relax in. Awesome shot. I love the colors.

Cayo Jutías is a mangrove-covered key situated at the west coast of Cuba. I took a bus from Viñales and had a relaxing afternoon at this wild, remote and tranquil beach. There was only a small hut selling drinks, and a few people swimming, kayaking or strolling here. I found these dead branches pretty fascinating against the turquoise water and blue sky.

Not just the dead branches but the whole scene looks fascinating. I wish I knew about this place when I was in Vinales. Another reason to come back :) Awesome photo Donica!

Thanks Petr! I was actually thinking of your post about Viñales when writing the description yesterday. :) Some call this wild place “the most discovered undiscovered beach in Cuba”, haha...I will do a post about it soon!

What a beautiful picture. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us.

If you happen to go to Bali, I strongly recommend to visit the west part of the island which still not too touristy. You can find awesome spot like this boat beached on the reef that is today used as a temple on Medewi's beach.

Location: Bali, Indonesia.

Wow, what an entry. That image is just out of this world.

Thanks a lot! It goes straight to my heart :)

This is awesome. I am with @fjorenca, I have never seen a boat temple either. Great shot.

Well Medewi isn't the most visited part of Bali, this might be the reason why there isn't a lot of photos ignore this boat out! Thank you for the the compliment :)

Super cool photo, I have not seen this boat-temple before!

Thanks a lot ;)
The boat is located near Medewi beach which is a great surf spot by the way.

Around Maratua, you can discover many islands for diving. Sangalaki Island is one of these places where you can find Manta rays but also many of these stingray. This ray specie is normally less colourfull. I was lucky to meet one with so much colours.

Looks like an alien:)... So many amazing creatures in our oceans. You are very privileged to see those first hand.

When I see the sun set out a very beautiful light in the sky can make the spirit to hunt the sunset every afternoon. One plant that grows above the sea border embankment can live on the sidelines of life stone is very fresh even though surrounded by boulders. The beautiful sky gives off beautifully shining light despite being blocked by clouds. I am very excited to participate in this contest. This photo I took in the village of Lampulo Banda Aceh.


Regards @czechglobalhosts

You have done so well with this shot!

Thanks @czechglobalhosts has praised my photo of this
but there are less for me because I always use the smart phone camera because there is no high quality camera please understand about my photo.

We spent one of the days in Algarve, Portugal on a beautiful beach Praia do Amado. While my kids and wife were playing with their new friends and my wife were talking with all these people we had met there. I took a walk along the picturesque coastline. I was already getting back when the light started to become magical. And the reflections on the wet sand completed the beauty.

What a beautiful light :)

WOW! Amazing colors.

Hmm, so peaceful... Fantastic image!

Railay Beach, Thailand, with its limestone cliffs and artistic sunsets. When the conditions are right, you can swim in this very beach with the bio-luminescent plankton, the small creatures that give you a slightly tingling sensation all over your body. At night, you just lie in the water, splashing it and you will see it just glow and sparkle, like in a dream.

Thank you so much for submitting this beautiful image. That sky looks stunning.

Near the Antarctica you can see these amazing mountains of ice floating in the see. In rare occasions, like here, the part below the water beautifully highlights the stunning blue of the cold water.

What a great experience this must be. One day:)....

Sea is the most beautiful gift given by Allah SWT to man to meet all his needs. Aceh seaport holds a million charms of its beauty both the beauty of the underwater nature, the beauty of the beach that stretches as far as the eye view and the catch of fishermen are abundant and have high exportir quality so that Aceh has always been a world tourist destination.

So many beautiful colors in one single image. The theme is superb too.


The aquatory of Klaipeda port at winter time. Cold but somehow still colourful sunset, almost at blue hour. Shot with fish-eye lens to get those round pieces of ice much closer, so they look really huuge

Enjoy it!

Strangely despite the ice, it still looks warm and lovely!

Man the colours are just unbelievable!
This is as always such a great photo from you.

That looks very mysterious. Great shot as always.
