@bluebottlefilms Australian Monday entry:
In Sydney, we get some pretty cracking electrical storms every now and then. This bolt of lightning literally lit up the sky over Sydney's CBD almost hitting the iconic Sydney Tower.

@dmytrokorol Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:
We had been finishing our road trip in 2014 in a town of Hel, Poland. We just checked in in a hotel when I realized, something was happening with the light. I grabbed my gear and ran to the sun hoping there should be the sea. Happily, Hel located on a peninsula and the sun were setting on the shore in the shortest distance from me. On the beach, I noticed the seagulls and thought they could be a nice foreground. But they noticed me too, so I ended up trying to catch them and the waves in one shot.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #26 – winner announcement!
@ansharphoto African Wednesday entry:
Quiver Trees, Namibia. The Afrikaners called the trees kokerboom, but because their fibrous, pulpy trunks are easy to hollow out and were once widely used as quivers for arrows for bushmen, they are known as quiver trees. The trees are naturally found in only this one relatively small part of Africa, and typically grow alone, like curiously-formed sentinels guarding the landscape. There are fewer than two hundred of them left in the world.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – European Thursday week #26 – winner announcement!
@stabilowl European Thursday entry:
Another photo of the township of Hallstatt, this time in the middle of a stormy afternoon, looking across to the wharf from the lakeside walkway. The low lying clouds covered the mountains behind the town, making it look mysterious and misty, while some afternoon sun still managed to shine onto the storm clouds illuminating the buildings along the waterfront. A view that is worth getting wet for!

This photo is another from my trip to Sayulita, Mexico two weeks ago to celebrate a friend's birthday. It really was a wonderful time with old friends and meeting new ones. On the last morning of the trip Sunday, I finally managed to wake up early enough to walk down to the dock by the ocean and take sunrise photos on the dock overlooking the Pacific Ocean. I couldn't have asked for a better way to end the trip!
Wonderful shot Matt!
I went on a backpacking trip last fall in the Cascade Mountains, in Washington state. The trees in the photo are larch trees, really amazing. They look like evergreens, but they aren't. Super neat. I'll definitely return to this place next year
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful image!
If it's not fair to have a great opportunity for a bow with a beautiful background this is a great place to go. I enjoyed being able to walk to Washington Square Park one ay from my trip to visit this Marble Arch. I advise you to do everything to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city to visit this tranquil park with amazing views.
Great capture! Thank you so much for your participation. Tomas
I visited Napa and Sonoma Valley with some friends from San Francisco. The historical town of Sonoma is known as the birthplace of California. And this valley is home to some of the state’s earliest vineyards and wineries. The Mediterranean climate here provides great growing conditions for several grape varieties. It’s fun for us to sample wine in front of this beautiful view.
Picturesque! Wonderful image. Thank you!
Views of Colorado Springs from Eagles Peak. This was a very cool hike above the campus of the Air Force academy. It gave you 360 degree views of the Rocky Mountain range and a beautiful mix of snow and greenery. This hike was very difficult as it was the second day in Colorado and I had not yet adjusted to the high altitude climate.
Looks marvelous! Thank you so much for your participation. Tomas
Sunset Over Toronto

I had taken a trip to Niagara Falls with a serviced called the Magic Bus Tour Company. On the way back from the Falls, they stopped outside of Toronto because they knew this spot offered great views. They were right. The light and cityscape were amazing.
Thank you so much for your fabulous entry! Tomas
You are most welcome.
North Rim Sunset
Years ago my son Paul and I went on a photo excursion to the north rim of the grand canyon, Arizona. We hurriedly arrived at this viewpoint right at sunset just in time to get off a few shots. It was gorgeous to say to least and turned out to be a wonderful experience.

Amazing place! Brings back great memories! Thank you!
A long exposure during sunset in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Steel City is also known as the City of Bridges - you can see why. Pittsburgh has a nice vibe and was prettier than I expected it to be.
Amazing shot! Thanky you so much!
Thank you. :)
Yellowstone National Park
It is one of the largest and most impressive parks on the planet. Fortunately, it is also one of the best preserved. It is located in the northwest of the state of Wyoming, United States. In addition, it is a recreation area in nature that has around 9,065 km² over a volcanic area.
Fabulous image! Thank you so much for sharing!
Griffith Observatory - Southern California’s gateway to the cosmos :) Nice place to enjoy spectacular views of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Sign. Must see in LA, free admission. I took this image in last week :)
