In Sydney, we get some pretty cracking electrical storms every now and then. This bolt of lightning literally lit up the sky over Sydney's CBD almost hitting the iconic Sydney Tower.

We had been finishing our road trip in 2014 in a town of Hel, Poland. We just checked in in a hotel when I realized, something was happening with the light. I grabbed my gear and ran to the sun hoping there should be the sea. Happily, Hel located on a peninsula and the sun were setting on the shore in the shortest distance from me. On the beach, I noticed the seagulls and thought they could be a nice foreground. But they noticed me too, so I ended up trying to catch them and the waves in one shot.

I've submitted many photos from Tangier, Morocco before, but I stumbled across this panoramic photo I completely forgot I took. I was lucky enough to watch the morning sun rise in the sky over the ocean from a perfect rooftop location. The seaport of Tangier is a major economic contributor for the city both because of trade and tourism. Of course, the trade comes from cargo ships entering and leaving the city. The tourism comes from an increase in seaside resorts taking advantage of the incredible view. For me, watching the sunrise from the rooftop was my favorite part of Tangier!
This is my first African Wednesday, so exciting!
Many people associate rocky gorges like this one with the Southwest of the US, but this place in Morocco is known very little! I captured this photo when I was exploring Dades Gorge with my Couchsurfing host; We were climbing over rocks to get inside the gorge.
Great sharing! Thank you so much for your contribution. Tomas
I'm normally so busy, I miss the Africa challenge. Not today! ;)
I am super privileged to live in Africa! More specifically, in Stellenbosch, a town in the winelands district of South Africa. I took this photo on a early morning run from a hill called Botmaskop. The beautiful mountain in the photo is Simonsberg!
Some great wines from Stellenbosch:)....
I took this picture on my short expedition on the Lagos Lagoon, depicted here precisely is the Ikorodu Coastal line of the Lagoon in Lagos, Nigeria, this Lagoon empties directly into the Atlantic Ocean. One thing quite fascinating about this photo are the Kids in it, their guts and bravery in the eyes of the stormy waters is astonishing, in my brief interaction with them I got to Know they actually came to fish and in the moment I saw them they have retired for the day, and are having a swim. Lagos is known for its diverse waterbodies, beaches and Islands. If perhaps you find yourself in Lagos and they ask you to say a little prayer, kindly say “Èkó ò ní bàjé o“ meaning, Long Live Lagos.
What a great entry! Thank you so much for sharing. Tomas
Quiver Trees, Namibia
The Afrikaners called the trees kokerboom, but because their fibrous, pulpy trunks are easy to hollow out and were once widely used as quivers for arrows for bushmen, they are known as quiver trees.
The trees are naturally found in only this one relatively small part of Africa, and typically grow alone, like curiously-formed sentinels guarding the landscape. There are fewer than two hundred of them left in the world.
Wow! That sure is a stunning image!
My sea voyage through Djibouti took place on a beautiful wooden sailing yacht. One morning, when we had already prepared breakfast on the upper deck, I saw that next to our yacht was a flock of tropical mackerel. The choice for me was obvious. While all the other members of our group had breakfast, I masked and flippers chased mackerel. Which, by the way, also had breakfast :)
Just incredible! Thank you so much for sharing!
After a 13 hours night trek to climb to the summit, we took a few minutes to admire the sunrise over Mount Sinai, Egypt. The view was cool but cold. There was a good vibe around us since it was the place where Moses supposedly received the 10 Commandments from God.
Looks like you can almost touch the sun from that top!
Yes indeed. It was a very cool experience even do we were exhausted at that time.
The site of Volubilis, near Meknes, Morocco represents the remains of an ancient city thought to have been the capital of the Roman-Berber kingdom of Mauretania. It was first settled in the 3rd century BC by the Berber/ Phoenician-Carthaginian cultures, but came under direct Roman influence starting around the 1st-century CE.
I had the privilege of spending the day touring the site and was amazed at the current state of preservation. In the photography are the remains of the basilica which would have been used for the governance of the Roman city. It would have overlooked the forum where markets would have operated.
Only a portion of the original 2-story structure remains today. This building would have been over 40 m long and over 22 m wide. Behind it, up on a hill, would have been the Temple of Saturn.
Thank you

Great entry! Thank you so much for your participation.
Seven Coloured Earths in Chamarel.
Once upon a time a hot lava was gradually creeping down the cold air. This colourful symphony was created by the different pour temperatures of various elements. Unfortunately we had a gray sky.
Mauritius is the most densely populated country of Africa.
Ahoj!
Ahoj:).... Looks very fascinating!
It really is, just pity we had no sun on the time we visitid that amazing place on earth!
Last year I went to Namibia, it is a beautiful country and I am very happy to have visited it. For this competition I chose this photo because it best represents life on earth without water.
Also I chose it because the only thing I remember when I photographed it was that it was very hot and I was very thirsty;)
Stunning shot!
Thanks man
