This is in Valparaíso, a charming city on Chile's coast. It's called Chile's Cultural Capital due to its booming art and culture scene. I took the steep funicular to a hilltop and shot this photo. Along the ride, I got fantastic views of the colorful buildings, the hills, the port and the vast Pacific ocean.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #78 - winner announcement!
@travelshots Asian Sunday entry:
The "Starlight Bridge" is located at the outskirts of Saigon, in a very quiet, modern quarter that makes you forget the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Once the sun has set, the bridge transforms into an artificial waterfall that is illuminated in bright colours - simply adorable!

@fotogruppemunich Australian Monday entry:
My picture was taken in sydney last winter. It was a great moment during the sunset at the harbor to walk and enjoy the beauty of the city. I was lucky that the sun went down just behind the showboat.
@axeman Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:
Qurator's Photo Friday #67 - Purple Dream. Sunset at some alien planet out there in the endless Universe. In fact this is winter sunset at Baltic Sea taken through Singh-Ray color polariser. A touch of long exposure brings even more surrealism to the final result. Enjoy it!

@vcclothing African Wednesday entry:
On a recent trip to Namibia we got to climb dune 45. Dune 45 is part of the world's largest sand dunes, located in the Sossusvlei desert. We climbed up it at sunrise, it was amazing climbing up through the morning fog, then to watch it all clear away and realised how high up we actually were.
7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - European Thursday week #78 - winner announcement!
@itchyfeetdonica European Thursday entry:
You might have heard of Neuschwanstein Castle, which inspired Sleeping Beauty’s castle in Disneyland? This famous palace was commisioned by King Ludwig II of Bavaria as a retreat on a rugged cliff in 1868. What impressed me the most was how it blended into the stunning natural settings around.

One Cloud Day. During the Monsoon Season convection can occur at any time of day or night depending on conditions. The most beautiful time of course is around sunset, but more often than not the light is blocked by clouds. This isolated early stage thunderstorm formed quickly in the late day heat, fully exposed to the setting sun. Revealing the nature of the storm.

This photo was taken at a dune in the Atacama desert, near the city of Antofagasta at the north of Chile. There the sand dunes are not very common, rocks dominate the landscape in this desert. At the moment that I took this photo it was cloudy since it is very close to the sea and it was very windy.
Once again the sunrise here close to home. Unfortunately I still can not get up so early every day because I'm sure I could take many other wonderful pictures of this magical moment. But I promise to do my best. Joaquina and Campeche Beach, Magic Island, Florianópolis, Santa Catarina / Brazil
A wonderful afternoon, I left early from work and decided to go to Morro, Lechería to watch the sunset and take some pictures. It was a great moment to see the majesty of the sun, as it delights us with such beauty.
El Morro. Lechería. Venezuela
Cerro el Morro
Watching a sunset always makes you feel different things. Every time I ascend to the highest part of this Hill I feel that I am in another dimension where everything is light, it is beauty, it is love ... In the current situation in Venezuela, it is not easy to move frequently from one place to another. But I always thank the Creator Father for having placed me in one of the most beautiful places in my country. The coastal area of the Anzoategui state, in Venezuela where this hill is located from where you can observe beautiful sunsets.
When we land on Isla Martillo, we aren't the only bipeds, the Magellanic Penguin and the Papua Penguin settle here to take care of their brood. Unexpectedly there is also a King penguin, larger than the others, with the characteristic light orange coloration in the upper part of the chest.
Last year in December I was on amazing trip to South America, and this is my first photo from that trip, and it is from an amazing place – Torres Del Paine. This is a 1810 square kilometer big park under UNESCO where most popular place for photography is this one below…
