However, the winner is only one and that is for me picture posted by @irvinesimages with the following entry:
Electric Night. Sycamore Pass lies between Black and Casner mountains and borders the huge Sycamore Canyon complex. This very powerful middle of the night thunderstorm is seen advancing through and over the pass which is a wilderness gateway to the Sedona area. This is the beauty and fury of an electric night. Sedona Arizona USA.

I have visited @irvinesimages blog and upvoted his post called Moisture Meets Dry. @irvinesimages amazing entry from Arizona is qualifying for the weekly challenge where it will be competing against the previous and upcoming winners of the week:
7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #101 - winner announcement!
@jpphotography Asian Sunday entry:
View of the Treasury in Petra, Jordan. While the ticket to Petra is the single most expensive entry fee I have ever paid, locals can get in for free. Many run small shops in the site, but a few teenagers are blocking access to a trail to this viewpoint demanding a fee for a "guided tour" from any tourist who wants to pass. At first I didn't bother, but when I saw them physically attacking a tourist in front of me who had also decided to ignore them and go by himself, I turned back and took an alternative route. Apart from this event, I had very positive experiences with Jordanians, so it is a shame that the local authorities allow these highwaymen to do their sketchy business at the countries' most frequented tourist site.
7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #101 – winner announcement!
@rullicky Australian Monday entry:
Lovely sunset. This photo is from Sunset Beach, Port Waikato, New Zealand. This place is located at the North island on west coast, approximately 1 hour by car from Auckland. This beach is one of most popular sunset places on New Zealand!
@jpphotography Tuesday of Antarctica and world's oceans entry:
Wharariki Beach Reflections, New Zealand. Wahariki beach is one of my favourite spots in New Zealand. At low tide, the rock formations reflect beautifully in the water. Wahariki beach is also home to countless birds and sea lions.
7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #101 – winner announcement!
@vcclothing African Wednesday entry:
Camping under the stars while on safari in the Sossusvlei desert in Namibia. We arrived to this camp site for the night, so in the morning we could climb the sand dunes. The days were hot but at night, the temperature was just perfect.
7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - European Thursday week #101 - winner announcement!
@itchyfeetdonica European Thursday entry:
Here's a drone shot of the stunning Durlaßboden Reservoir and the surrounding mountains in the Austrian Alps. I loved this beautiful region of Tyrol. You can enjoy breathtaking views almost everywhere after some easy hikes or drives, and the water of these alpine lakes is usually crystal clear, so reflections are common sights here.
The winner of the weekly challenge will be selected by you based on the dollar value of this post and then entered to a monthly and possibly yearly challenge on the way to win the price of 200 Steem in total. You can give @irvinesimages your support by upvoting this winner announcement post.
My next challenge is coming shortly: South American Saturday. Get your pictures ready! :)
