Only one picture to be submitted for a daily photo challenge. The rule number one is to use only personal images. Ten winning photos will receive an upvote from me from which I will pick one winner that will receive extended publicity in my post tomorrow morning.

The winner of daily challenge then competes against winners from other continental challenges of the respective week to receive the price of 15 SBD.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #14 – winner announcement!

@jh3n Australian Monday entry:

This year I spent nearly 10 months traveling around Australia exploring and discovering places I have never thought existed. This self-timed shot wasn't the easiest photo I've taken, the tripod was sitting on the tiny ledge of the walls with water flowing underneath.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Tuesday of Antarctica and the world’s oceans week #14 – winner announcement!

@justdentist Tuesday of Antarctica and world's oceans entry:

Calm and dangerous - The world's oceans

Many people work "on the water" - Fishermen, workers on drilling islands, marines, crewmembers of cruiseships. The work can be wonderful but also pretty dangerous in some situations. The images shows the peaceful sunrise on the Ijesselmeer in the Netherlands.

The port city of Tangier, Morocco has the most wonderful old city called the old medina. This part of the city has narrow, winding streets up and down hills where it's very easy to get lost. Or at least it easy for me to get lost! I kept noticing cats throughout the medina and started taking photos of them when they let me. Btw, if you count your steps (Fitbit or fitness apps), you'll get a workout here!

Thank you so much for your entry Matt. I did pick some other image to go further this time. Have a good one. Tomas

Dune 45

Dune 45 is a famous dune at km 45 of Sesriem National Park in Namibia. The challenge is to climb 180 meters in height. I did it and I can assure you that it was not easy :) There was so much wind up that I did not dare to take my camera out.

Wow, what a great image! Thank you for sharing with us. Tomas

It was taken in Tunisia. This was part of organised trip through the desert. There are some more camels behind.

Great contribution to the challenge. Thank you!

On the top of Africa! Mount Kilimanjaro! Volcano!

The highest mountain in this continent. To see the ice in Africa is very interesting. But as you can see it's possible.
Kilimanjaro is 19,341 ft high. Black volcanic soil on Kilimanjaro's ground and a white ice. received_1807337419339807.jpeg

Thank you so much for your contribution. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement. Tomas

Thanks for running the contest @czechglobalhosts. I took this image while I was travelling around Africa for the third time! It was taken along the Chobe River, Botswana where we'd seen elephants, crocodiles and hippos but for me this was the iconic image of that day. I fell in love with the continent so much I moved here a year later.

Beauty at its best:)......

I've never been on African continent, but here is the photo of Morocco's shore from Europe point - the southern point of Gibraltar!

The distance between shores is more than 20 kilometers and Africa is seen only when the sky is pretty clear. So I was lucky enough to have good weather on the day of my visit ;)

So near yet so far!

HI! Bringing back some good memories. I have been to Gibraltar on several occasions and it is always great to see Morocco from there. Tomas

Once again, thank you for your contests, Tomas! They motivate to look through archives and share some memories from different trips.

Unfortunately, it's my only photo of Africa ))
But I'll try to share some photos of Gibraltar in specific theme ;)

The Stellenbosch region in South Africa is world famous for it's awesome wines. Specifically their Pinotage cultivar, a red wine grape that is South Africa's signature variety. I took this photo exploring the Pinotage vineyards at sunrise. The hill in the background is Klapmuts hill.

Hey @extremejogging, I need to say a big thanks for introducing me to @steemitworldmap! I think it's seriously cool!

Haha, no problem! I agree 100%

Fantastic Picture! Missed visiting Stellenbosch! Should have!

I just love your backyard Jaco!

Thanks Tomas, me to. ;)

After one of the hardest hikes ever, I got to this waterfall in Arusha, Tanzania. I took this shot from a huge rock that was quite slippery using my GoPro.

Wow! What a place! Thank you so much for sharing. Tomas

IKR 😮😮 Thank you!

I took this photo five years ago on La Digue, one of the Seychelle islands a little north-east of Madagascar in the midst of the indian ocean. It's a wonderful little island with many beautiful little beaches. This here is Anse Source D'Argent, which is maybe one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

I can't wait to return there in two months :-)

No need for words! Simply perfect!
