7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #32 – winner announcement!

@travelshots Asian Sunday entry:

The Marina Bay Sands Hotel is one of Singapores landmarks. Unfortunately it's allowed only for hotel guests to relax at the infinity pool on the top. Nevertheless it's possible for everyone to buy a ticket for the "Skypark" that is located right next to the pool. So you can enjoy the same breathtaking view of Singapores skyline from there!

@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:

Dinosauer Eggs at Moeraki beach.. Or mayby just uniquely formed rocks?? In any case it's a extraordinary location with all those round boulders littering the sand. The morning I visited I was even lucky with the light and got those beautiful pastle colors.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans week #32 – winner announcement!

@softa Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:

The island of Tenerife is a great place to shoot seascape photography because it lies in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. So the only thing that can block your pictures are just clouds. That's one of the reasons why I come back every year, and every time I bring pictures like this one.

@travelingmom African Wednesday entry:

A colorful Sunset in Madagascar mesmerizes us with the artistic richness of a impressionist painting. The water picks them up, to remix them into a powerful symphony of shapes and hues that surround us on all sides. Marvelous!

Two years ago, I had a chance to visit Geneva, Switzerland. Of course, one of the things on my list to see was the United Nations Office, the second largest of the four behind the UN Headquarters in NYC. This is the Allée de Nations (Avenue of Nations), the country flags for every member of the United Nations, in front of the Geneva United Nations Palace. And no, I cannot correctly identify every country flag but I feel like it's something I should be able to do!

Civita di Bagnoregio is a old town that was built on top of a hill in Lazio, Italy, and can be reached by bus from Orvieto. It used to be a prosperous town up until the 16th Century, when earthquake and erosion slowly eat away the plateau and population starts to move to the nearby Bagnoregio area. Today, it is known as the dying town as hardly anyone lives there anymore.

I've been there! It's mostly tourists walking around, but it really is spectacular to see in person. Great shot!

Yes! We only see tourist around, didnt really see any locals apart from the shop keepers within the Civita. It is pretty amazing though, the view and the old buildings

Very spectacular view!

Thank you! Glad you liked it

Such an amazing image. Thank you so much for that.

There is something so special about the west coast of Scotland, take this beach for example, the rocks looks like old wood and the colours are orange! Looking out onto the islands is just magical!

Wow thats another beautiful shot from Scotland.

Thank you !

What a wonderful shot! Thank you so much for your participation. Tomas

Thank you so much Tomas!

There is nothing like camping under the midnight sun. Mt Rusjka (1708m) and Unna Ruskkas (1477m) in the background sit at 67°52" N is well within the Arctic Circle in the Scandinavian Mountains (Scandes) in Swedish Lapland. The camp (let me know if you can see the tent!) is along the Kungsleden, or King's Trail, which is a hiking trail in the far north of Sweden that is approximately 440-kilometre (270 mi) long. It passes through one of Europe's largest remaining wilderness areas.

Wow, those colors are just something else. Great job as always.

Acores.jpg
Welcome to Europe's answer to Hawaii: The Acores!
The Acores are located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and are the most western point of Europe. A very small but therefore very green and natural island is Flores with its beautiful waterfall Poço da Alagoinha.

Oh, that just looks unspoiled. Absolutely wonderful.

Yes it really is unspoiled and I hope it will stay so forever ;)

Such an awesome pic!!! Never believed there can be this type of landscape in Acores!

Yes, it is really an awesome place with so much untouched nature.

Yeap, and I checked your blogging. Actually nice posts, will start following you.

Here you can see a boathouse in a small lake in beautiful Berchtesgaden in Germany. The lake is called Obersee and is located right next to the Königssee. It had rained on the day and the sight was overwhelming

Welcome to the challenge. You have mad quite an entrance with this image. Absolutely wonderful. Tomas

Many Thanks!

Best regards Maik

Moritzburg Castle or Palace is a German baroque palace in the small town of Moritzburg, in the federal state of Saxony. It is located near the city of Dresden. It was built between 1542-1546 as a hunting lodge for Duke Maurice of Saxony and received its current appearance in the 18th century. I took the picture when my wife and I walked around the lake that surrounds it and for a moment the presence of the swans and the reflection of the light in the lake seemed precious to me. I hope you like Tomas ...

The Louvre is the Art Museum in Paris, one of the largest in the world. Housed in the Palais du Louvre Palace, the former residence of the French kings. More than 8 million visitors visit him every year, so taking pictures without people goes only late at night. When I took this photo, it was around midnight and it rained, which reduced the number of people to one and me.

Thank you so much for your participation with this amazing entry. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement. Tomas


I have really quite huge experience of catching colourful stunning sunset at the Baltic Sea coastline. But sometimes even me getting amazed again.. and again
So that was the case yesterday evening at Curonian Spit, Lithuania. Phenomenal and phantasmagorical skies to all the directions. Staying between two big storm fronts still catching the bloody colors of sunset

And more over, another rope found on the beach, still remaining half under sand from December storms times and giving unbelievable color contrast to all the picture

Enjoy it!

You absolutely do. I hav to come closer to you to see those myself:)

I am a sunset lover and yesterday I was lucky enough to witness one of the most beautiful ones I have ever seen. We are still in the North of Norway, this time we are on the island of Uloya and the low tide allowed me to almost walk into the middle of the fjord. The colours were insane and there is no filter on this image. I took a lot of pictures, but this is my favourite one. Cheers
