7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #23 – winner announcement!
@h2odigital Asian Sunday entry:
This is a picture of The Petrona Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They were the tallest building in the world until 2004. I went all the way to the top and it was a good experience, but it was raining and the views weren't that good. However, the view of the building from groundlevel did not disappoint. It is an amazing building!

One of the most beautiful beaches of Tenerife is Playa de Almaciga. This coast with lots of cliffs and rocks and steep mountains is a stunning location. For this image I waited until the lights of the town of Almaciga started to shine. The glowing town makes a nice contrast to the dark mountains behind.

I spotted this elephant when I visited the Masuwe Lodge and Reserve in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. In addition to elephants, there's a chance to spot zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, kudu and impala here. Most well known in this reserve is their lion conservation program where they raise lion cubs and prepare them for release into the wild. Volunteers can actually walk with lions in the bush as part of their training for release. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to do that but I had a wonderful time here.
Dunes of Sossusvlei, Namibia
In Sossusvlei, the wonder is the land itself. The area is famous for its massive sand dunes, sculpted and smoothed by the wind in a desert completely devoid of surface water. The same winds that create the dunes also change them, and the sinuous lines and forms that amaze today may be different tomorrow. Even their colors change, the striking terra cotta easing into browns and beiges as the sun waxes and wanes.
Wow! The trees at the bottom!
That is a hug sand dune! Thank you for your participation. Tomas
Today I am entering with a cute photo of animal king – lion. But it is not just a lion, it is a few days old lion cube carried in mouth of lioness. We were lucky to spot that rare sight on our safari in Etosha, Namibia.
Hope to be lucky with the challenge too 😊

Omg...unreal!! What an incredible moment!
It is real ;) Hahaha.
It is really incredible moment as Etosha is bigger than my homeland (Slovenia), so lions are quite hard to spot and sad fact is that over past two decades population of lions in the wild decreased for almost 50%.
I believe you :) just an expression for something spectacular. That is quite sad, seems to be an ongoing trend everywhere for most wildlife nowadays.
I know, I am just kidding :)
Yes it is sad, but trend is better anyway and human awareness of endangered wildlife is also helping in the past few years...
Very lucky witnessing nature like this! Thank you for sharing your entry.
Last point of our three days trip up the Nile was Aswan. We reached it during night time, so have got possibility to wake up earlier to see if something interesting to shoot.
Well, was just a calm colourful morning bringing us another warm sunny day in Egypt
Shot from the upper deck of cruise ship
Enjoy the scenery :)

Thank you so much for your submission and a beautiful image.
Trekking through the Sahara had always been a dream of mine - this picture was taken last Wednesday at sunrise from one of the tallest dunes of Merzouga in Morocco. It was still dark while trekking up here; the dunes were really steep and the sand was thick - there were moments when I thought I had climbed enough and just wanted to give up. I'm so glad I didn't and made it all the way up here, just in time for this spectacle.
What a beautiful image! Thank you so much for your participation. Tomas
Being watched by this pair of youngsters at the Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Park, the oldest nature reserve in Africa. African Elephants are magnificent beasts and even seeing younger ones close up is a sight to behold!
They sure rais a respect! Great entry! Tomas
This is Ajose Adeogun road in Victoria Island Lagos, Nigeria. I visited here during the Christmas and i felt like sharing the amazing view of this place at night.
The road has boosted the economic activity of this place. There are several beautiful places in Victoria island. Eko hotel and suites is one of them.

Assal lake is located in the Little and very poor African state of Djibouti. This is the most salt lake in the World. And it's also the hottest point of Africa. The chemical composition of the lake is unique and, in terms of its healing properties, surpasses the famous Dead Sea salt. In 2010, when I was in Djibouti for the first time and took this photo, the lake looked like this. Now everything is completely different and will never look like this again. A few years ago, the President of Djibouti gave all the rights to extract salt from the lake to one very large Asian country. Local people say that the president received an astronomical sum of $ 30,000 for this contract ...
That was little confusing at first as it looked like snow:)..... Thank you for your entry.
My entry is from South Africa. I visited an ancient and traditional South African village. This area you saw is the place where they used to do their spiritual rituals. I heard that it is a specific tradition of South Africa.
