However, the winner is only one and that is for me picture posted by @eaglest with the following entry:

This image shows a dirt road through the Andes mountains. In the background you can see several vulcanoes. I took this image on a trip to the Altiplano high plateau in Chile. You can drive up to a stunning altitude of over 4000m by car. It was one of the greatest experiences in my life to drive in this vast deserted landscape without seeing other cars for hours.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #17 – winner announcement!

@narchuk Asian Sunday entry:

At the Philippines I go to dive, most of the day I spend in the water or on a boat. Do not forget the night dive. As a result, I have very little time for sunrises and sunsets.
This time we returned from diving, and I watched the sun go down into the ocean. It happened at the moment when the boat hit the shore. I had to jump right into the water together with the underwater box. I did not have time to get another camera.
I was lucky. In addition to the beautiful sunset, I saw a turtle swimming alongside. A few minutes before it was dark, we swam together.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #17 – winner announcement!

@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:

Here's my favorite photo from New Zealand. I took it a year ago in Tongariro National Park. It was quite cloudy as we arrived in the Park and we couldn't see the peaks yet. But I hiked to Tama Lakes anyways, hoping for a change. As the clouds then broke and revealed Mount Ruapehu it was an awesome sight.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans week #17 – winner announcement!

@axeman Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans entry:

Volcanoes in Baltic? What? You would say impossible? Well, that depends on the point of view in fact. Shot at very cold winter evening (if remember right was some -20 degrees) and with very low shooting point and extra wide lens. So visually its really looks like a volcano :D Enjoy the scenery!

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #17 – winner announcement!

@pierrehugo African Wednesday entry:

As the drought becomes more apparent in the South African winter, two male Zebras compete in a dramatic display of kicking, biting and rearing up onto their hind legs. It was a great sighting to witness over half an hour. The result of such behavior led to a big dust cloud every time they attempted to establish dominance. This shot was taken in the famous Kruger National Park, which is a compulsory visit should you be traveling to this exquisite part of the world.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – European Tursday week #17 – winner announcement!

@jpphotography European Thursday entry:

Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic. I am sure you know this view very well: The Charles Bridge is one of Prague's most beautiful sights. When I was wandering through Prague in the evening, I saw this beautiful view and since I did not carry a tripod I looked for a wall to put my camera on to capture this long exposure.

Recently took a trip to the Utah national parks. Took this photo at the famous Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park just after sunrise. The sun is just behind the arch, creating a fascinating glow under the arch. Used Photomerge function with photoshop for creating the panorama image.
