This is the Olt river's Gorge crossing the Carpathians, a road which I travel quite often. It is one of the most spectacular roads in Romania, which is a good thing because it's always crowded.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #101 - winner announcement!
@jpphotography Asian Sunday entry:
View of the Treasury in Petra, Jordan. While the ticket to Petra is the single most expensive entry fee I have ever paid, locals can get in for free. Many run small shops in the site, but a few teenagers are blocking access to a trail to this viewpoint demanding a fee for a "guided tour" from any tourist who wants to pass. At first I didn't bother, but when I saw them physically attacking a tourist in front of me who had also decided to ignore them and go by himself, I turned back and took an alternative route. Apart from this event, I had very positive experiences with Jordanians, so it is a shame that the local authorities allow these highwaymen to do their sketchy business at the countries' most frequented tourist site.
7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #101 – winner announcement!
@rullicky Australian Monday entry:
Lovely sunset. This photo is from Sunset Beach, Port Waikato, New Zealand. This place is located at the North island on west coast, approximately 1 hour by car from Auckland. This beach is one of most popular sunset places on New Zealand!
@jpphotography Tuesday of Antarctica and world's oceans entry:
Wharariki Beach Reflections, New Zealand. Wahariki beach is one of my favourite spots in New Zealand. At low tide, the rock formations reflect beautifully in the water. Wahariki beach is also home to countless birds and sea lions.
7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #101 – winner announcement!
@vcclothing African Wednesday entry:
Camping under the stars while on safari in the Sossusvlei desert in Namibia. We arrived to this camp site for the night, so in the morning we could climb the sand dunes. The days were hot but at night, the temperature was just perfect.

One of many beautiful historic buildings in the center of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania and its largest city with a population of over 570,000 people. Vilnius is classified as a Gamma global city according to GaWC studies, and is known for the architecture in its Old Town, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.
Here's a drone shot of the stunning Durlaßboden Reservoir and the surrounding mountains in the Austrian Alps. I loved this beautiful region of Tyrol. You can enjoy breathtaking views almost everywhere after some easy hikes or drives, and the water of these alpine lakes is usually crystal clear, so reflections are common sights here.
Berlin City Lights - Brandenburg Gate at night - The Cars passing by from both sides with lightning speed.
What you see is a 138sec long exposure at ISO 100 F22 on a Laowa 12 mm, f/2.8, Zero-D. This is not a composite! In order to have such a long exposure time to get so many car ligh trails i covered up the lens with my hat, whenever there were no cars passing.

The Colosseum as viewed from the higher aspect of the Palatine this summer. So much history jammed into such a small space in this wonderful European city. There is over a millennia of architecture in this frame.
The Way to the breakwater at the baltic sea!
Breakwater on the Baltic Sea protect the beach from over-flushing. At regular intervals, the wooden poles rise into the sea, which are also used by seagulls to relax.
The picture was taken in the spring on the deserted beach of Zingst in Germany.
I have also posted the photo on my Marwitt | The WAY of LIFE blog.
Karlstor (on the left) is located at the western end of Neuhauser Straße in Munich. It used to be Munich's famed city wall from the medieval ages. The wall served as a major defensive fortification and also a checkpoint. Back in the ages it was named Neuhauser Tor.
A winding road at the bottom of the Apuseni mountains, Carpathians, Romania. It was fun drive that ended with a drone flight and the image below. Hope you like it!

The Peak District is one of the most beautiful areas in England. During my weekend there some years ago, I went village hopping one day/ This was one of the many beautiful villlages en route.
The 1000 Windows of Berat, Albania
I am travelling as digital nomad in the Balkans at the moment while developing TravelFeed. When I am not coding or organising TravelFeed, I explore the beautiful places around me. This photo is from this morning when I woke up in the beautiful city of Berat in Albania. Albanian people are amazing and I am really enjoying my time here!

Pisa, Italy is more than just a leaning tower. Yes it is a touristic city and yes you can see it in one day, but there is much more to see.
The Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Duomo, the palace, are all worth a little time.
Here you can see a bit of the facade of the Cathedral in front of the tower.
