7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #27 – winner announcement!
@justdentist Asian Sunday entry:
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.

@narchuk Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:
Sunset in the sea can have another meaning. When not only the sun but you yourself plunges into the water. The sky on the surface explodes with bright clouds. And the underwater world is completely transformed. The daily inhabitants hide and fall asleep. They are replaced by nocturnal creatures. All this process is not long at all. Less than an hour is required for nature to completely change over to another state. If I succeed, I always try to spend this time in or near water. Especially if it's as nice and warm as the Philippines. Of all the places where I was, there are some of the most beautiful sunsets.

Sahara - every kid knows the name of this huge desert in Northern Africa. When I was planning on visiting Morocco, I made sure to include the Sahara on my itinerary and these two guys provided me with a perfect motive!

As I was posting this for Thursday Green's Color Challenge I realized it would also work as a European Thursday submission. I took this photo in Geneva, Switzerland a few years ago. I was there in late autumn which was a lovely time of year. This historic city is incredibly beautiful to explore especially near its famous lake. Sadly I only had a day here so I didn't get to see much but I loved my morning walk through the city including this park!
Rovinj, Croatia
Visitors to Rovinj are often struck by its resemblance to Venice, its neighbor almost directly across the Adriatic Sea. The only thing that seems to distinguish “Little Venice” from its namesake is the absence of canals and busloads of tourists.
Truly magnificent!
Basilica Sancti Petri or St. Peter's Basilica seen from across the River Tiber. Construction of the current basilica was undertaken between 1506 and 1626 replacing the original St. Peter's Basilica dating to imperial Roman times in the 4th century AD.

Another phantasmagorical sunset at Baltic Sea, nearby Klaipeda, Lithuania. Amazing sky and the long exposure to freeze the water
Anybody see the Phoenix? :)
Enjoy the scenery!

Such a peaceful image! Thank you for sharing. Tomas
Photo of Gothenburg Harbour in Sweden. Taken in summer when the days are long the nights are short and clear, as it can be seen in this photo. Gothenburg is an industrial city located at Southern Sweden, it is the house of the famous photographic cameras and lenses maker Hasselblad.
Thank you so much for your contribution. Have a great day. Tomas
The happy alpine cows in South Tyrol, an autonomous region in northern Italy, enjoying fresh air, an infinity of mountain plateau and the striking beauty of the Dolomiti peaks. This region is not only beautiful but it is unique from the infusion of Austrian culture into all aspects of Italian life. I spent last summer trekking and getting lost in the heart of these mountains.
That just reminds me a Milka Chocolate commercial:).... Great image!
haha! I'm craving a chocolate now
Wild lake in the forest. North of Russia. Around for many kilometers only you are alone. The air after the night is cold, but the water is still warm. This first ray of the sun has to break through clouds of fog. Everything around wakes up.
Water lilies are bursting. A few more minutes of beauty and silence ...
hordes of mosquitoes have not woken up yet)
After seeing your image I will just have to start getting up early to get to see those sunrises and sceneries! Looks soo innocent. Thank you!
))
It was always difficult for me to get up at sunrise. Therefore, I often take sundowns. And here we lived right on the shore of the lake. I could wake up on an alarm clock, go do a dozen photos. And then go back to sleep))
The Normandy Coast is one of the most varied I've ever visited. Most of all I liked the high limestone cliffs. Those on my photo is around Fécamp. Where are the beautiful sunsets when the weather is good.
What a fantastic image! Thank you so much for your contribution. Tomas
A nice view over these fields of grappes running on the hills. Sitting on a terrace in a small village located in the Ardèche River area I'm enjoying this moment before dusk when the sky is still pink-oranged while sipping on my glass of wine... Cheers :)
Location: Saint-Sauveur-de-Cruzières, France.
Hmm, I can completely relate to that - just sitting, enjoying the scenery and sipping on the wine:)......
Leuchtenburg
This is the "Leuchtenburg". An old castle with a beautiful landscape around it. It's not known how old this castle is, but the oldest mention goes back to 1221. Luckily it's one of those castles that still get maintained well. Many different events take place on a regular basis and the income is used to keep the castle alive.
Looks like an amazing place for cycling:)... I love those! Thank you so much for your contribution. Tomas
