Sunrise in the Sahara. The sand dunes of the Moroccan Sahara are an amazing sight. The huge amounts of piled sand are everything but boring, since the strong winds and the sun constantly change the patterns and colours of the dunes.

@vinceboisgard Australian Monday entry:

The Great Ocean road really is a nice drive, especially when the sun is out. You can do it in a few days to really enjoy the sceneries. These are the famous 12 apostles or what left of it! They are slowly disappearing because of the ocean erosion.

@marc-allaria Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:

I still try to propose underwater photography for the Tuesday World Oceans contest ! This week a nice red gorgonia shot around Pasoso Island in Sulawesia. A lot of current kept the sea really clear as you can see. On the gorgonia, you can see a black comantula which is the same family of sea star.

The Fish Port of Tangier, Morocco has been a part of the city for a very long time. Depending on the time of day, you can see fishermen getting their boats ready to head out or returning and unloading their haul of fish. Clearly, judging by the photo I took here in October 2017, there are plenty of fishing boats in the harbor to feed many people!

Wet Swakopmund Pier at Sunrise, Namibia

After 10 days of photo shoots all around Namibia we arrived in Swakopmund for 1 final night before our flight home. Swakopmund is a kind of resort town on the coast of Atlantic Ocean with great beaches and tasty seafood restaurants. It was great to relax here, but we couldn't miss the final sunrise and went in the morning to the local pier :)

The Table Mountain in Capetown. This picture was taken on the way to the top of the Lion's Head. This is a fairly easy hike (about 1h), but you have some gorgeous views over Cape Town.

What a wonderful view, truly beautiful!

Thanks for choosing our photo. Unfortunately your upvote hasn't arrived yet ;)

The setting of the sun of at the seaport in south Africa was one of the few rare beauties my eyes had ever seen.
The way ships sailed towards the dark clouds had these poetic rythms that couldn't be explained by word of mouth alone. Africa truly is a beautiful place

Wonderful colors! Thank you for sharing.

Time for new animal photo from beautiful Namibia. I have to admit that I have strong wish to visit Namibia again in the future. When I am watching my photos from there it recalls so many amazing memories. Photo below is just one of them and it is from a must visit place near Kamanjab - Otjitotongwe Cheetah Guestfarm.

The old sorcerer

As you walk in the medina of Marrakech, you will notice that 90% of the old men wear "the sorcerer's robe".
Well, it's what we liked to call them but actually, they are named Djellaba. It's a traditional robe wore by men and women and the word Djellaba literally means attractive.

You can find the post and more info about Morocco here

Thank you so much for your contribution. Truly appreciated. Tomas

Thanks for your kind words :D

Douz Sahara Tunisia..
Douz is a small town in south-central Tunisia. Considered the "Gateway to the Sahara", the Gateway to the Sahara, Douz is a popular destination for tourists eager to discover the desert, either in camel or four-wheel drive.
The town of Douz grew up around a large palm grove that stands on the northern fringe of the Sahara. Surrounded by nothing but desert and dry scrub, historically, it was an important stop on the roads of trans-Saharan caravans. Today, tourists come in large numbers, many on the coach tours organized by the coast stations, to get a glimpse of the power of the Sahara.

What a wonderful image!

The most fascinating thing about going to Africa and walking in the tourist jeeps is seeing the amount of animals that are in the streets, it is incredible. It looks a bit dangerous for some people, but as long as you have respect for these animals they will never harm you. This photo was taken in Kenya where the most tender lions in the world.

What a cute little fellas!

Photo was taken in Stone Town on Zanzibar Island. What's interesting is that on the right you can find a pole with a sign saying that you can make free international calls, if you manage to climb the pole ;) At least during my visit no one tried that.
