7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #25 – winner announcement!
@photofreediver Asian Sunday entry:
When I participated in an expedition on on the island of Sakhalin, the bay "Silent" which is in 150 kilometers to the north of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk became one of points of our travel. It has appeared the amazing place with the mountains, improbable on beauty, entirely covered with the juicy-green woods and the tender ocean washing the sandy coast. Absolute paradise for fans of quiet rest with tents, for fishermen and of course for photographers!

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #25 – winner announcement!
@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:
So here is another entry from beautiful Australia again. This one is a view I found near Katoomba in the Blue Mountains. There are many viewpoints in the area, the most popular being the Three Sisters view. But if you wander along the extensive network of trails along the rim you can also find beautiful views like this, which you will have for yourself.

@narchuk Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans entry:
It was an amazing meeting in the Andaman Sea. Our group dived first and we were lucky to see one manta ray. But the current in that place was so strong that we spent all the air for about 20 minutes. As a result, we came to the surface at the same time when the second group just descended. And we managed to quickly change the tanks and dive a second time. The second dive was long and calm. This lasted about an hour. And at the very end, when we were about to emerge, I saw two manta rays in the depths. All I needed was for a quick dive and only 3 photos. Then I had to come up. It's amazing that no one else saw these manta rays. As if I imagined them)

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #25 – winner announcement!
@fjorenca African Wednesday entry:
When one thinks of the desert, images of yellow rolling sand dunes come to mind. The White Desert of Egypt is nothing like that. This unique scenery of tan and chalk-white landscape is dotted with alien shapes, boulders of brilliant white which thrust up from the surface of the desert. We camped in this dramatic landscape left by an ancient ocean, far far away from civilization.

One of my favorite parts of visiting Europe are the beautiful train stations everywhere. This is the Antwerp-Central Railway Station in Belgium. It took 10 years to build between 1895 and 1905. The incredibly tall height of the station was necessary originally because of the steam generated by locomotive engines. It turns out it wasn't just me taken by this station. Newsweek magazine named it the 4th greatest train station in the world in 2009 while Mashable magazine named it the most beautiful in 2014!
Saint Stephen Basilica in the Morning, Budapest
Ecclesiastical buildings are almost always breathtaking, and this one is no exception. A large, intricate mosaic marks the entry to the basilica (it’s so beautiful that I decided to make it the focus of the shot), and the building’s interior is magisterial. The monumental size of the basilica is really only apparent from the inside, where various marbles and precious stones shimmer in candlelight.
What an incredible image!
Today I could not decide for a long time where to put the photo)
Once in all the time I got to the Czech Republic, when the fields blossomed. I did not even know that it happens. We went by bus on an excursion to Krumlov. And then everything suddenly turned yellow in the window. Fantastic sight. I was ready to think up anything just so that the bus stopped. Fortunately in a couple of minutes we stopped at the gas station. And I immediately ran to the fields. The weather also played along. Clouds, coming rain. And the sun ...
Without even looking at the description I was thinking to myself that this looks like home:)....
When I traveled in Greenland on a sailing yacht, I met a lot of icebergs. But each of them was so unique and incomprehensible to the previous ones that I thought out each of them a name. Here is the iceberg, which I photographed against the background of the brightly rising dawn sky, I called the CHARITY OF GODS.
Wow! Those colors are incredible!
Hi Tomas, Matthias here, Steemit newbie :-) I'm a photographer and digital artist from Germany. This is my submission for your photo challenge: Vik Church with a wonderful bright green mountain landscape, one of my favorite places in Iceland. I visited the land of fire and ice three times and can't wait to go there again. Iceland is a dream for every photographer :-)
I hope I did everything right with my submission. Looking forward participating in some of your other contests :-)
beautiful photo, I follow you
This is a nice composition! :)
I am very glad to welcome you to my 7 World´s Continents Photo Challenge and very excited to see more pics from you. You have done more than well with your first entry! Tomas
Sunset in Tubingen
Click image to view in full screen
We have been walking the streets of Tubingen, Germany with our friends when they showed me this spot on the Neckar Bridge. It was about the sunset, and the sun was setting down behind the buildings. The sky that day was mostly overclouded, but there was a small chance to have a break in the sunset. We have been on the spot just in time to set the camera and make a decision on the subject. I had about 5 minutes window when the setting sun lit the clouds through the break, and I take several shots when this boat appeared and completed the scene.
Absolutely stunning!
Thank you!
An unknown, unnamed series of waterfalls in the eastern part of Iceland that caught the light just the right way as we drove by and turned it into a vision of fantasy and magic.
Wow, great shot! I want to go to Iceland soon, it looks spectacular on every picture I see :)
Thank you, Annika! I think you should visit Iceland. :)
Another epic image of yours! Well done!
Thank you! :)
As soon as very cold weather stayed for quite a while, have decided also to visit nearby small city Palanga (mostly rest city) with a famous sightseeing bridge, which goes to the sea some hundred meters. Counting it will have nice ice formations as well

Simply beautiful!
This is called Voringfossen (spelled Vøringsfossen in Norwegian) Waterfall. It's not the biggest or tallest at only 145 meters and a total fall of 182 meters. It's actually two waterfalls converging into one on the river below which eventually form the canyon. I've seen plenty of waterfalls around the world but this is on the top of my list. It's like stuff made out of fantasy novel!
Today´s submissions are just insane! And this is one of them. Great job.
Spectacular! Than you so much for your contribution. Tomas
