This photo was taken by us @travelingstories in one of the most beautiful places in this world of ours: Lagoa das Sete Cidades, in the island of São Miguel, Azores - right in the middle of North Atlantic. The islands of this archipelago are of volcanic formation, the reason behind the fertile soils and strong greens, as well as colorful lagoons like this one...

@vcclothing Asian Sunday entry:

I was exploring the caves in Petra Jordan were people used to live and I came across this one cave that had a window with a awesome view. I was there during winter so it was cold out side but surprisingly inside the caves was alot warmer. Petra is an amazing place to explore! So many cool caves to check out.

@vinceboisgard Australian Monday entry:

Burning sunset over the Beagle Gulf, as every night the landscape turns into an incredible scenery of thousand colours. Darwin is a magical place for sunset sighting and every day the end of the day is just mind-blowing... I loved it!

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

Coming back to frozen Baltic Sea and amazing views which you could see during very cold and very calm periods of winter. Very low shooting angle and very wide angle lens again bringing quite unusual overall perspective for the scenery. Enjoy the scenery!

@jpphotography African Wednesday entry:

Camels in the Sahara. On the last day of my trip to the Sahara, our guide readied the camels early in the morning. To give the camels a rest, we all agreed on walking back to Merzouga instead of risking another bumpy ride.

View of Casa Mila (popularly known as La Pedrera or "The stone quarry"), one of the most famous buildings in Barcelona designed by the legendary Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi. Built between 1906 and 1912, Casa Mila was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984.

excellent photography friend, you can appreciate the imposing facade. @phortun

I could easily pick Barcelona as one of my most favorite cities in Europe. Thank you for sharing.

Here I have a fresh photo from the Austrian Alps. I took it last weekend on a hiking trip in the Stubai Valley. It was a wonderful calm morning. After thick clouds had still obscured this view throughout the night I was very happy to wake up at 4am to a clear sky. It was pure magic

Awesome entry! Congrats:)

Perfect ___ golden hour has a power !
And this river and clouds, and view !
I wanna have pgoto like this in my pf too :D !

Wonderful capture of my homecountry :D

Last weekend I went hiking in the area of Lake Wolfgang with some friends. A few meters before reaching the top of a a hill called Bleckwand, I found this natural stone bridge which I could use as a perfect frame for a picture of Lake Wolfgang with it's bright blue and crystal clear water.

Don't forget to click on the pic to watch it in full ress!

What a spectacular place. @axeman

Wonderful entry. Love your work Ruslan.

South Tirol, Italy. We took the early bird offer and went up to the summit before sunrise in one of the coldest winters in a long time. Speikboden was the name of the mountain that has an amazing 360 degree view from the top. To be honest, even though we checked the weather forecast and prepared ourselves for the cold,... it was freezing as f***. minus 23 degrees and wind that made your face fall off.

Thos tips of the mountain look so close you could almost touch them. Wonderful image.

Here is a view of Prizren, Kosovo taken just after sunset. The lit up mosque at the bottom of the picture is the Sinan Pasha Mosque and the mountains in the background are the excellently named Accursed Mountains. If you want to visit somewhere in Europe without the hordes of tourists then Kosovo is a great place to check out.

Beautiful view of the city! Great job.

This is the areal view on Perast town .
I couldn't to have the bigger luck with this moody clouds. It was close the Golden Hour, so I knew that I can have a good light for this landscape. I waited for the moment when the sun will hide behind the mountain and I took this shot.
Montenegro is amazing country, I really loved all places - except Podgorica ;).
And it's famous because of this sea mountain scheme. If you wanna see Fjords you don't have to go only to Norway.. very similar landscapes you caf find just in Montenegro. And is a bit warmer in here ;).

Tenerife, Canary Island
I took this picture on my week of exploring Tenerife, the largest of the seven Canary Islands. The Sunset/Sunrise every day where tremendously beautiful and always a reason to wake up early :)

Love that color combination. That is incredible.

Midi-Pyrénées

This picture was taken on the Winter of 2014 at the Midi-Pyrénées mountains at south of France, next to Tarbes city.

We went by car from Tarbes to some point at the Mountains and started waking upside on a footpath and did a nice trekking day with my university fellows from Erasmus. It was very cold, but the view was awesome.

What a beautiful nature!
