7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #22 – winner announcement!
@thuylannguyen Asian Sunday entry:
This is my photo taken during a trip to Sa Pa in Lao Cai province, Vietnam. Sa Pa Town is located in Lao Cai Province, north-west Vietnam, close to the border with China. Sapa Town is famous both for its fine, rugged scenery and for its rich cultural diversity. Sapa is oriented to make the most of the spectacular views emerging on clear days; it overlooks a plunging valley, with mountains towering above on all sides. Views are often subdued by thick mist rolling across the peaks, but even when it's cloudy, local hill-tribe people fill the town with colour.

@dmytrokorol Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans entry:
Motion in blue. I found this interesting rock formation on the Cordoama beach in Portugal and had struggled to find the right position on the wet stones, wiping the lens, covering my camera from splashes and trying to capture the contrast between the motion of water and stillness of rock.

I took this inside the Imire Rhino and Wildlife Conservation in Wedza, Zimbabwe. Wedza is about two hours away from the capital of Harare. This conservancy does wonderful work helping to protect the wildlife of Zimbabwe. Personally, I didn't get to see a ton of animals and didn't see any up close, but luckily before I was about to leave a small herd of elephants walked to the shore so at least I got a few photos!
Great shot
Deadvlei, Namibia
This place is striking in its lifeless beauty. It’s difficult to imagine that it was ever underwater; now the earth of Deadvlei is cracked and bleached a stark white by the sun. There is little to suggest that life ever flourished there. Even its name — Deadvlei, which means “dead marsh” or “dead valley”— conveys an o ominous sense of the absence of life.
This is my favourite place in the world. I had the opportunity to go there many years ago. It was December, hottest time of the year and we hiked across and part way up the dune in midday. If you've ever been there, you'll know just how insane that is. No shade, the dead trees little shade already being spoken for by some Gemsbok. There is nothing to reference scale there so what seems like a short hike turns into a very looong hike and the dunes become insurmountably high. Anyone out there ever gets the chance to go there....do it
a great photography barilliant colour
I love your entry! Thank you so much for your participation.
Tsavo National Park, Kenya
Golden light fills the air of Tsavo National park in Kenya. As the sun sets, we are left with the beautiful sillouhette of the African Baobab surrounded by Impala and Buffalo, bringing the perfect end to a perfect day!
During our trip in Namibia we stayed one night in Otjitotongwe Cheetah Guest Farm and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Right on our arrival we went to meet three cheetahs which you can encounter. Owner of the property also have reserve with about 25 wild cheetahs. He is taking great care and really loving these animals!

Stunning colourful sunrise at Hurghada, Egypt shot while my trip few years ago. Pretty simple composition, but still managed to found some lines of stones to employ at the foreground.
Enjoy the scenery :)

During one of my trips, I snuck up to the roof of my hotel in Cairo and free access to get some pictures from above the bustle of the city. The smog can get pretty thick around the city, so there were times I couldn't even SEE the pyramids from here! It would get thick then go away for a while, but never fully clear air, which gave everything this foggy type ambiance
Thank you so much for your participation and contribution to the challenge. Stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on today. Have a great day. Tomas
My admission for 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - African Wednesday. I took this view of Blyde Canyon in South Africa and couldn't help comparing it to views of the Grand Canyon...just with lots more green! I love SA and can't wait to go back.
Thanks @czechglobalhosts
I've been to Blyde River a couple of times, it is a breathtaking view
I didn't want to leave!
I didn’t take many landscape photos in Africa, mostly portraits and street ones, but I’ll try to share some: =)
I shot this picture from a hilltop overlooking the Lake Abaya, the biggest Ethiopian Rift Valley lake. It is one of the northernmost of the African Rift Valley lakes. This group of lakes in the East African Rift runs north-south through the continent, from Ethiopia in the north to Malawi in the south.
In KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa standing proud and tall is the Drakensberg meaning Dragon Mountains from the Afrikaans translation.
It is actually a great escarpment between Lesotho and KwaZulu-Natal, stretching quite some distance.
Zulu name for this beautiful area is Quathlamba - a barrier of spears or big rocks piled up.
Photo taken on annual visit on the Southern Region where Rhino Peak is visible on the right hand side.
Nice pic! Thank you so much for your contribution. Have a great day. Tomas
