I visited Antelope canyon on both my trips to this part of USA, as this is a thing you can hardly skip when you are in the area. So this photo below is from my first tip, back in September 2014. There is nothing much to be said, lets the photography speaks for itself.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #50 - winner announcement!

@rinawonderlands Asian Sunday entry:

This is one of a beautiful sunrise i had when i was in Gili Trawangan island, a small island near Lombok. No cars, no bike is allowed in this island. But unfortunately we can't go visit the island for a while now, since the earthquake hit Lombok last month. Many building were damaged, and all the people were evacuated from the island for their safety.

The way the light hits the ice in Antarctica can create some pretty unique colours. But when it’s overcast, often the icebergs can come across a beautiful vibrant blue that really stand out against there surroundings.

Thank you so much for your submission. What a great city Washington is!

Wonderful Weather

Its so refreshing to get a good wet downpour during a hot summer afternoon. I really enjoy seeing the sun come out following the rain. The moisture tends to bring out a lot more color adding to beauty of the landscape.
This wonderful scene was recently captured in Sedona Arizona USA.

Wow, just spectacular!

This was taken a few days ago in Sedona, Arizona during the monsoon season where we get all kinds of unique and interesting weather and lighting conditions. The mountain is named Cathedral Rock. And it sure was a beautiful scene in my opinion.

That is an awesome shot. Love that place!

Taken on a 20 km hike around Upper Kananaskis Lake. This was one the last leg, we could almost see the end but we were so tired! We came across this sight of dead tree trumps brought down into the lake from melting glaciers only to get washed up across the lake and rest on this shore to bake in the sun forever. The flowers somehow growing along the rocky shore is what really caught my eye, it was a peaceful place to rest for a few minutes with no one in sight.

Love how unspoiled nature looks. Thank you for your shot!

My today’s photo is from my trip to USA back in year 2014. It is from one of the nicest places on Earth called Yellowstone. This was the first National park in US and most probably the first on the world. It is well known by its geothermal features and as well for its wildlife and ecosystem.

Seeing the pics from there are just making me go there at some point. Truly spectacular.

Xkeken Cenote in Yucatan

Yucatans Cenotes are connected by a network of underground rivers. One of my favourite Cenotes was Xkeken that is full of dripstones. I bought a snorkel and dived to the ground of the cave.

I have also posted this photo on my blog.

That looks like from a movies shot scene. Unreal!

Hi @czechglobalhosts
Below is my entry:

Linn Cove Viaduct is one of the longest bridges built with concrete and total length of 1,243 feet. The bridge was built back in 1987 as a last part of Blue Ridge parkway . The bridge is located on slopes of Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina.

The structure resembles snake and rugs the mountain like a snake. The design of the bridge is sentimental bridge. The blue ridge parkway is famous for its scenic beauty in fall colors.

That is a pretty magnificent construction. Thank you for your entry and have a great weekend. Tomas

Thanks a lot czechglobalhosts

This beautiful landscape is in the wonderful Yellowstone National Park, USA. I took this photo on a lake in the park. The colors in this place leave you breathless. The nature is exuberant and I remember that I only thought about the peace, tranquility and emotion I felt when I was there.

Love those shades of blue and dynamics of your image. Well done!

This is one of my favourite shots of Toronto's skyline that I took from the Toronto Islands. I used an ND-Filter to make the water look smooth and silky. In combination with the colour key it looks almost like the city is floating on a big cloud.

Truly outstanging image. Well done!

Thank you! 😊
