European?! Well let's see what I have. I took this shot about a year ago in Saxony, Germany, very close to the Czech Border. A well hidden treasure that got famous through RedBull and Instagram. A park in which a half round Bridge forms a perfect circle in its own reflection. Surrounded by Trees and abstract rock formations. Magical place. The autumn colors round it up to a perfect frame!

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Australian Monday week #38 - winner announcement!

@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:

Already Monday again :-) Today I show you a photo from my first trip to New Zealand back in 2014. The weather on the North Island wasn't very good and we had to cancle many of our plans. But down in the south-east at Castlepoint a spell of sunny weather was forecast. So we drove down there and it was a great decision. The Castlepoint Lighthouse with Castlerock in the distance is such a beautiful subject to photograph. And asside from that there's also a beautiful beach and some steep cliffs to explore.

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

Enjoy the beauty of the beach and the sunset in the "puloet" (Aceh). The beach is located at the end of "Great Aceh" and travels about 50 kilometers from the city "Banda Aceh" The sea is directly opposite the strait of the Indies. In addition to offering beauty, the waves on this beach is quite large and tall. This beach is rarely visited because of the ferocity of the waves.

@derangedvisions African Wednesday entry:

The lioness is waking with a yawn to great the other as the sun rises across the Serengetti in Tanzania. There really aren't words to describe the amazing feeling as you witness the early morning sun on the Serengetti and the animals wake for the day.

There is Switzerland which is, I have to admit, really pretty. But than there is the Saxon Switzerland, which is even better ;) Nah, just kidding. It is fairly close though, thus I spent a lot of time in this pretty little area in the east of Germany. This shot was taken about 1h/ 90minutes before Sunrise. Heavy rain the night before provided the foundation for this super cool foggy scenery. An ocean of clouds with only the peaks penetrating the surface. Shot with my Nikon D5300 (Sigma 8-16mm)

Wow! A truly spectacular image!

A different look at the fishing village of Riomaggiore... This time, with the little village nestled in the green hills of the Cinque Terre National Park (Liguria region, northwestern Italy)!

Thank you so much for your wonderful contribution. Have a great day. Tomas

Thanks Tomas!

On last week's monday I was running around the Almsee in Upper Austria where I was able to get this beautiful snapshot and a few other great ones. It was definitely worth it getting up at 5am :)

Beautiful composition! The reflection looks amazing in that clear rippling water.

Great to see you joining the contest again with this fabulous image! Thank you.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup is upon us, :) so I'm sharing a photo I took at the iconic landmark in Moscow - the Red Square, with the famous Basil's Cathedral and the Tower of the Kremlin. The square serves as a site of various public ceremonies. Yesterday Russian President Vladimir Putin attended the FIFA World Cup opening concert here.

Fantastic image!


This photo was taken from Eismeer station before arriving the final stop -- Jungfraujoch station. It is an underground station with an altitude of 3,159 metres which is the second highest railway station in Europe where the highest is Jungfraujoch of course.

Impressive mountains, they always bring up some respect! Thank you for sharing. Tomas

My today’s photo is from Iceland, where I was lucky to be witness of Aurora Borealis.
That was the most amazing natural phenomenon that I saw in person. If you have possibility I would recommend to everyone to go and try to capture Aurora Borealis and Iceland is just the right place to do so 😊

Walking through the beautiful city of Kiev in Ukraine I could admire this monument, it is called Sofievskaya Church, the place is magnificent and you never get tired of looking.

This is the islet of the Vizcaya locality of Bermeo, Basque Country (Spain) called Gaztelugatxe, the best time to visit is the spring or autumn and so enjoy the peace of the place, since in summer it is usually very crowded. This place was used for recordings of the famous television series Game of thrones, which would be part of Dragonstone

That sure looks very peaceful. Fabulous image!

Bruges in Belgium with its beautiful historic center, declared a World Heritage Site, has largely been rebuilt, said urban center is one of the biggest European attractions, as it keeps the medieval architectural structures intact. Like Amsterdam, Gothenburg and Hamburg, among others, Bruges is known as "the Venice of the North", due to the large number of canals that cross the city and the beauty of them. I have visited Bruges twice and would go again, it is a beautiful city and ideal for taking pictures.

Seeing your pics form Bruges is bringing up my desires to visit this place.

Many people refer to it as Europe's longest gorge and others as Europe's grand canyon!
It is the Samaria gorge.
One way in, one way out and in-between 13 km (8 miles) of rough terrain and nature’s beauty. Beginning at an attitude of 1.227 m (4.025 ft) and ending at sea level is one of the greatest experiences on Crete, Greece.

That looks like some serious hiking! Thank you for sharing your memories with us.

Thank you for the great contest and the chance you are giving to newbies to show their work!
I wrote a post about this hike if you care to read about Samaria!
