Only use of personal images will be accepted and only one picture can be submitted for a daily photo challenge. Ten winning photos will receive a bigger upvote from me and ten runners-up will get a smaller one.
Chosen from the ten winning entries, the absolute winner of the day will receive extended publicity in my post tomorrow morning. I will also visit his/her blog to upvote one of the most recent posts. The winning picture of the daily challenge will then automatically enter other rounds with the absolute winner gaining approximately 200 SBD in total. So far I have given out thousands of dollars in upvotes and hundreds of SBD in rewards.

My entry for Asian Sunday this week isn't a photo designed to win but it's one of my favorite moments I've experienced in traveling. When I visited Israel last year, I had the chance to take a day trip to Petra, Jordan. To do this, I flew domestically from Tel Aviv to Eilat, a resort city in southern Israel right at the border of Jordan. From there, I had to walk across the Israel-Jordan border to meet my Jordanian guide on the other side. It was such an interesting surreal experience to walk through no man's land between the two countries after being stamped out of Israel. Of course, touring Petra was incredible, but this moment was just as memorable to me!
I took this picture in 2009 during a trip to Kyrgyzstan (the former republic of the USSR).
Kyrgyzstan is a mountainous republic. Wherever you are, there are always mountains around you. Even if they are far away, they are perfectly visible. Being in Bishkek you can always see mountains from one side. Because the mountains are 30 km from the city.
This place is located 30 km from the capital of the republic - the city of Bishkek.

Great entry and I think the first image from Kyrgyzstan even submitted in the challenge! Have a great day. Tomas
Thank you very much! 8)
Good day to you too!
Cormorant Fisherman in China
Here is one of my favorite photos from our trip to China last year. I also featured it in my "Faces of China" post.
If you take part in Tomas, aka @czechglobalhosts, contest for a longer period of time, you'll might have seen some photos of the fisherman. After being a fisherman for several decades he now mainly works in the tourist industry as a model. I guess it's kind of a win-win-situation for him and tourists like us. He's wearing his traditional outfit. Once in a lifetime experience!
Have a great week everybody👍🏻
That's a great shot! So did you join a photo tour where they hired a model? Or does he just work in the area during specific times?
Yes, it was a photo tour. You can book the fisherman and his brother I think in the morning or evening for a shoot. Really friendly guy!
Another one from those series, I love it!
Shot at the desert dunes of Dubai, UAE after safari. Had pretty limited time to catch sunset, but still pretty lucky for such unusual cloud formation to appear at the last moment.
This orange color of UAE sands is pretty amazing and really differs from bright almost white color of Lithuanian dunes
Enjoy it!

I like the colours and composition of this photo :) The shape of clouds is very similar to the branches (or roots)
Excellent photography @axeman
Stunner!
This my entry of sunday Asia challenge of @czechglobalhosts
This is Yaqing Temple of sichuan province, China. It lies in an isolated valley 4000m above sea level. The monastery is associated with the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism . With more than 10,000 Sangha members now, it's the largest concentration of nuns and monks in the world.
Wow so beautiful view @yasirmoharkan nice colorful challenge
Awesome shot! Congrats!
Just beautiful, what else to say!

The infamous temple Surrounded by the ocean when the tide is high, I named Tanah lot temple. Located in Bali, Indonesia, it is a special place as much as it is a holi place.
Location: Bali, Indonesia.
Thank you so much for your entry! Bali is on my list, still:)....
Haha, I went there twice for a month each time and I lived it! It is on my recommendation top list.
If you do go over there, try avoiding Kuta except if you love partying!
Rent a scooter and go around the island, you have to explore it! There is so much things to see it's incredible.
This is my photo of Meridian Gate (Vietnamese: Ngọ Môn), is the main gate to the Imperial City, Huế, located within the citadel of Huế. Meridian Gate (Vietnamese: Ngọ Môn) is the main entrance in the south and the largest one in four main gates of Hue Citadel. This is an architectural work owning the highest value in the architectural ensemble of Nguyen Dynasty still existing today. Architecturally, It was modeled after the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City in Beijing, China, yet it still clearly reflected the architectural style of Vietnam.
What a wonderful entry! Thank you so much for your submission. Tomas
Thank you. Tomas

It was back in September last year when I woke up early and hike up to Kelimutu Volcano to be witness of one of the best if not the best sunrise in my life. Truly a unique feeling when you are enjoying in different colors, which sun is painting on the sky and for cherry on the top also crater lakes are changing colors.
