Welcome to the 12th Edition of Photo Friday!

Welcome to the 12th Friday PHOTO Edition hosted by Qurator. Below you will find some unbelievable images captured by your fellow Qurites from all over the world! See what adventures they have shared with all of us! Don't forget to vote for your favorite and if you'd like to nominate your own image for next week's competition, make sure to comment #nominate below.

Note: some of you have been curated twice since the start of the Daily Qurator and some have been curated only once. As the Daily Qurator is gaining fame with every passing day, many new steemians are asking/will ask to join us. So, expect to see posts from new users for now. When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again.

Each Friday we will select 5 Qurites and feature their photography in our Daily Qurator post. Each Qurite featured in this post needs to comment with their photo featured in this post. The user with the most upvotes on their comment (not money value) will win a Tier 5 membership for 30 days! The votes will be counted when this post reaches payout.

Want to take part in Photo Friday? NOMINATE! After you upvoted your favorite photo!

DO

Want to take part in the next Photo Friday? Sure you can! Simply comment in the comment section with #nominate.

We will then consider your account and look over your feed for any Photography related posts for the upcoming Photo Friday

DO NOT:

Post links and/or pictures of your most recent posts. We will not choose them. Why? Well, we want the nominees to also benefit from being in the Photo Fridayy Edition. If you give us a link now and we use it for the next issue of Photo Friday your post has most likely reached payout. That means not extra upvotes... We will select the most recent posts from your feed.

So instead, just include#nominatein your comment of this post (don't forget to vote for your favorite food post first).
We will take it from there and consider your feed for the next Photo Friday.

We hope this can spark some more interest in the photography community within Qurator. Hopefully to get more users to visit photography related blogs and appreciate your photography. Hopefully there will also be some nice rewards on your comment in this post.

Curonian Mirages

Another shot from the series and another stunning colourful sunset at Curonian gulf, nearby Klaipeda, Lithuania... Very calm weather and water mirror very well employed. Some stones at foreground to make composition more alive and interesting

Such a serene moment captured in this image. While viewing it you can almost feel the hushed water as it gently ripples over the stones.

Monomad Macro Monday: Cold Star

Dropping water level on a frozen waters reveals the cold star forming around the grass that's frozen in time

Brrr! It's almost as if you can feel the chill coming off this picture.

Yosemite National Park

The hugely popular Yosemite National Park is a Californian icon and the first major national park to be declared in the state. Yosemite was central to the development of the idea for national parks and later paved the way for the U.S. National Park system

For those of you whom have visited this park, you know all the breath-taking views to be seen. For those of you who haven't had the chance to go to Yosemite, you'll never believe all the natural beauty and pristine lands you're missing out on.

Waterfall Wednesday- Englishman River Falls

I would like to take you to Englishman River Falls Provincial Park, on Vancouver Island, where the river torrent disappears into a deep chasm, creating the mist and the noise common to all great waterfalls

If you listen close enough, you can almost hear the water as it falls over the edge here. Listen... @derekkind has captured an unbelievable moment in time with this picture. The pink hues of the sky in the background and the vibrant yellow leaves really adds to the serene scene.

Does anyone know what kind of flower this is? Any guesses? You can really see all the small and miniscule details in this picture by @anandhh.
