Your entries need to be submitted by the midnight of Central European Time in order to be considered for the challenge with a description of approximately 30 to 50 words. Only one picture can be submitted for a daily photo challenge. The rule number one is to use only personal images. Ten winning photos will receive a bigger upvote from me and ten runners-up will get a smaller one. Chosen from the ten winning entries, the absolute winner of the day will receive extended publicity in my post tomorrow morning. I will also visit his/her blog to upvote one of the most recent posts.
The winner of daily challenge then competes against winners from other continental challenges of the respective week to receive the price of 20 SBD. That will be decided by you based on the dollar value of upvotes of my winning post announcement. The winning weekly picture then automatically enters other rounds for the price of 200 SBD in total.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #18 – winner announcement!
@vinceboisgard Asian Sunday entry:
The majestic Taj-Mahal made of white marble. Build for a princess and unfortunately used as a tomb where she sleeps for ever. The roof is made of Star Diopside Gems that shine like stars when the moon is full. This is a magnificent place to see and visit.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #18 – winner announcement!
@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:
Here's something from famous Milford Sound for you. I travelled New Zealand's South Island back a few years ago and at first I was a bit sceptical as to, if this location could live up to all the hype around it. But it didn't dissapoint. Milford Sound is one of the most spectacular locations I have ever visited. The drive there alone was already worth the visit. Then I even got lucky with this sunset.

@easycome Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans entry:
Every year, like for 3 years, I draw lots with my girlfriend to see which place to visit in September/October, it's like our vacation trip. But occasionally we do getaways, in Europe to do it with low-cost companies is very economic and easy, which if it is true that I never thought that Iceland was a country that gave so much of itself. Has everything, and very freezing too! From now on, in order to give more truthfulness to the photos, I will tell you the parameters used when taking the picture, so that there are less confusions.So... The Parameters used were: 14mm | f/16 | 15s | ISO 100
Camera: Fujifilm X-E2

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #18 – winner announcement!
@tbarett African Wednesday entry:
I got the chance to go on a safari in Tanzania. We were driving along and suddenly a herd of wild African Elephants came towards us. One of the little ones got a bit itchy I suppose, and came to start rubbing on the log in front of our vehicle. Looks like he's posing for the camera!

I took this photo in September 2015 on my iPhone 5c during my first visit to Mexico City. I was completely blown away by the beauty of this building, the Palacio de Bellas Artes. The building ultimately took 30 years to build between 1904 and 1934, but it was definitely worth the wait. This palace, hosting a wide array of fine arts from opera and dance to painting and photography exhibits, was declared an artistic monument by UNESCO in 1987.
Thank you so much for your great entry Matt! Have a good one. Tomas
Really great image Matt! Keep it up:)
There are thousands of cenotes in Mexico. Cenote Ik-Kil is the most beautiful compared with other cenotes in Yucatan. The cenote itself is spectacular. It is a large water filled hole in the ground fed by an underground river. Also its amazing spot for wild swimming with very refreshing clear water.
Beautiful place! I was there too, on the way to Chichén Itzá. It's so refreshing jumping into the hole to get rid of the heat. =) Btw, do photos of Mexico and the Caribbeans count in this North America challenge? If so, I will have so many more entries. ;)
Beautiful, I have to go there!
What a great place! Thank you for sharing. Tomas
From the moment we arrived, "breathtaking" was my first thought. No wonder at all that the Grand Canyon belongs to the Seven Natural Wonders Of The World. When I took this picture a squirrel decided to photobomb me!
Grand Canyon, Arizona, United States

haha didn't see it the first time through
Haha! It was a curious little fellow! :)
LOL, very nosy:)
American Beauty
I'm really proud of this photo. On this photo, I've captured the real American beauty and also New York. I personally have a weakness for old American cars. They have a unique style and personality that can not be just imitated.
This is awesome, I wish I had the same car!
Thank you :)
Impressive shot. Yeah, American oldtimers look classy. I posted some from Cuba in the vehiclephotography contest recently, feel free to have a look :)
Thank you, Určitě se podívám :-)
Aha, já nevěděl, že jsi taky krajánek :D
Já to poznal tak,že jsem měl už odkliknuté follow, protože po prvním přihlášení jsem se snažil najít co nejvíce českých autorů, abych měl co nejdříve představu jak to vlastně funguje. :-D
You gotta love the classic!
This beautiful lake is located in the famous Banff National Park about 5 km from the Banff townsite. At its shore you can find the best campground in the Banff area. Much smaller and nicer than the other huge campgrounds in Banff. It is also a great location to spot wildlife in the morning or evening.
I was lucky enough to capture a stunning sunrise after the first snowfall of the year the evening before...

Beautiful reflection!!
What a stunning image! Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on today. Tomas
I captured this moment when kayaking the meandering Kissimmee River in the Everglades near Orlando. It is a subtropical marshy wetlands of Florida. I was lucky to spot the American alligator and two Florida cooters(large river turtles) not far from my kayak. :D
Woow! Putting National Geographic in the shade :))
That is some pretty cool scenery! Thank you for sharing. Tomas
This picture was taken on my last trip to Jasper National Park this past new year. One of the most powerful waterfall in the Rockies, Athabasca Falls gets it's flow from melting glaciers, in the winter it freezes up into a large block of ice with a much smaller water flow that continues to cascade down the ice.
Great shot! 👍🏻
Frosty !
The Little Sahara sand dunes in Utah, not far south of Salt Lake City, offer incredible opportunities for abstract photography. I keep going back to this place, revisiting in the day and more often at night. Every time I go I find something different.
Pretty soon you'll have gone to this place more than i've been there and you live in Canada!!
Lost count but I think I've been there 5 times, the first time was with you. What about you?
Stunning shot! Thank so much for your continued support! Tomas
That goes both ways - thank you!
Incredible👏🏻
Thanks! :D
Very Impressive Shot , looks like a painting !
This is amazing light.
Napa Valley, California !
Here is a photography of Winery Napa Valley, California which I shot in on of our wine tasting visits to the region. The winery is Castello Di Amorosa , we had an amazing experience taking the tour of winery to see how the wine is made, stored and bottled.
Cool shot and lovely colors!
Thank you !
Lovely photo! Thanks for sharing:)
Thank you.
You gotta love Napa! Thank you for sharing.
CAPITOL REEF, National Park, UTAH

These are the temples of the sun and the moon near the north part of the park. It takes some offroading or at least many miles of dirt roads to get there... but it's really a special locaiton. One of my favorites in Utah.
Oooh, I love the colors!!!! That's one of my favourite places that I haven't been to.
Wait you haven't been there??
Are you coming for the next Stars n Cars in march??
Nope! Wanted to last time but we decided to go somewhere else and it didn't work out. I would love to be there in March.
What a stunning image. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. Tomas
Appreciate the opportunity to share.
What a great photo! Travelled to the Nationals Parks in California, Arizona, Nevada but we misst Capitol Reef I guess :( Next time!
Yes next time indeed... and make sure to go to the cathedral valley portion of the park.
