Norway - Epic view from Romsdalstrappa view point towards Romsdalen valley and narrow Isterdalen - the way to famous Trollstiegen. On the left side steep rocky spikes of Trolltindan - mountain massive with highest rock wall in Europe - Trollveggen. As You can see everything in Norway has Troll in the name - reason? Dramatic landscape looks really like a home of big Trolls.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #44 - winner announcement!
@crazy-andy Asian Sunday entry:
We get up early one day in the middle of last year’s September and it definitely paid off with good morning view on Mount Bromo in Indonesia. This volcano is still an active one and it has huge cultural influence on Indonesian people. Would say that sunrise at Mt. Bromo is a must see in traveler life

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Australian Monday week #44 - winner announcement!
@davedavis91 Australian Monday entry:
"Life on Rottnest" Imagine Paradise.... What do you see? Beach, Water, ocean, crystal clear water... If this is your imagination, than here you go: Go to Rottnest Island on the shores off Perth, Western Australia. This Island is home to the weirdest Rat-Kangaroo species called the quokka. A cute and tiny something all over the island. Snorkelling, swimming, and quite peaceful hang out place. Shot with my Nikon D5300.

@axeman Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:
At first sight the view is very similar to Norway, Northern Canada or Alaska. But nope, this is Baltic Sea during pretty cold period of time, maybe week or two. The coast starts to be frozen with some nice ice formations on the stones
The shot is done early morning on sunrise with a soft warm colors pushing through overall cold blue. And the boat with two fishermen in bright red coasts was just at right time and right place :) A bit of long exposure added. Enjoy it!

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - African Wednesday week #44 - winner announcement!
@worldcapture African Wednesday entry:
Sahara Desert, Merzouga (Morocco). I took this picture on my travel through Morocco on the new years eve 2016/2017. The location was south/east of Morocco in Merzouga, an small village besides the desert on the algerian boarder. I still cant find the right words I could say about the saharan desert, it was just magic and definitely the most peaceful and silent place i have ever been to in my life. If you ever have the chance to go there - do it !

ColorChallenge - Purple Sunday - @roadtrips in 7 World's Continents Photo Challenge!

Split is the second largest city in Croatia and a very popular tourist destination in the summertime. From beaches to historic sites, this city has plenty to offer. I took this photo of Riva Harbor during my visit. The promenade in this harbor is lined with restaurants, bars, shops, and the historic catacombs of Diocletian's Palace.
This view is one of my favourites. Its looking out onto the sea and across to Mull and the neighbouring islands on the West Coast of Scotland, watching susnets from here is just amazing.
The colors of this one are impressive! Congrats ;)
Thank you, it was one of the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen!
Fabuloust contrast of colors!
Thank you, its a really special place!
Boat on Lake in Sweden
On my roadtrip from Norway back to Germany, I got really unlucky with the weather in Sweden, but maybe the cloudy weather is part of the atmosphere that makes the country of the many lakes so special.
1/100s; 14mm; f/9.0; ISO 100
I have also posted this photo on my blog.
Another gorgeous shot!
My spies tell me you may be coming through my neighborhood soon. Let @suitcasemama and I know if you need anything - been based in Bangkok for five years ;)
Thank you! We will have a Steemit meet-up with @travelling-two and @worldcapture on Sunday evening, maybe you and @suitcasemama want to join us? :)
@travelling-two was my spy ;) We have a toddler, so can't do much past 7pm. We will be in one of the most photogenic neighborhoods in Bangkok, Talad Noi, though for a bit of a stay-cation, let us know if you end up near the river!!
I'm staying near Phaya Thai until Tuesday, so Talad Noi isn't too far - and I love photogenic neighborhoods :)
We'll probably be over there exploring tomorrow morning. If you're over there and see a couple with a cute toddler say hi, it's probably us :)
Good photo! ;)
Thanks!
Faublous setting for your image! Well done.
Blue hour in Diocletian's Palace in Split, Croatia. This was built for the Roman Emperor Diocletian but normal people have been living here for over 1000 years. Instead of tearing down the palace they have been living within its ancient walls and the palace makes up most of Split's old town.
Wow, what an amazing click. Thank you so much for your quality contribution.
Great photo! Split is a very pleasant town, but also make sure to visit Hvar! ;)
Something to cool down. Here's a photo from the mountains. I visited the Stubai Valley two weeks ago and camped up in the mountains to get this shot. It was freezing up there but I enjoyed some hours of absolute silence and tranquility up there. Currently with the extreme temperatures here in Europe I think I have to head up into the mountains again soon to cool down a bit.
Here's some video I shot to go with the photo

What a great place to visit. Thank you for your wonderful image.
This photo was taken by us @travelingstories last year, in Paradise...
Oh! No, sorry... Our mistake...
We know it may look like Paradise, but it was taken "simply" in one of the most beautiful and romantic places we have been to: the village of Oia, in Santorini, Greece.
I love Santorini, what an amazing place that is.
This is my recent drone shot from Bay of Kotor in Montenegro, which I call it "Small planet of Kotor". 36 shots stitched together and then wrapped around into the "small planet". Speaking of location itself - it is spectacular place which is not overcrowded by tourists even in high season, so I highly recommend to visit it asap.
Dont`t forget to enjoy the beauty in full screen.
It is amazing what can be done with the use of modern technology those day. One really has to expand the image to enjoy it full beauty. Great job!
Thanks, Tomas. Totally agree. I really start to like my little, but powerful drone :)
Two days in a row we have the most beautiful midnight sun here up North, above the artic Circle, where the sun never sets.. The sea's reflection turned it into an outer world experience. You might think there is a of tweaking going on in this picture, but these were the colours in reality!
Wow, that sure is a stunner!
I took this photograph a few days ago while I was riding my bike until night through my home region in Lower Saxony, Germany. It shows a gravel plant nearby. The view was just beautiful. As an introverted photographer I enjoy especially landscape photography because it is so calm in nature.
Click on photo for better resolution. Best regards, Jana/Lichtgreif
Love those colors! Thank you so much for sharing.
The Burning Pine
Another sunset shot from one of my most favorite places nearby Klaipeda, Lithuania - the Dutchmans Cup. This time a bit further from the sea staying on the small dune with nice view of small pine trees
Great mixture of cold sky colors touched by warm sunset
Enjoy the scenery!
