7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #31 – winner announcement!
@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:
Wharariki Beach near Farewell Spit in the upper north of New Zealand's South Island is a spectacular location. You have dunes, sea stacks, caves and a beautiful countryside. It's a bit of a drive up there but totally worth it. A caravan park is just 1km walking distance from the beach.

@marc-allaria Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:
I will soon share an article on this extraordinary meeting made in Maratua Island, still in Borneo. Certainly one of the most important memories in my adventure of diver as much for the meeting with this wall of barracudas as for the very particular diving strategy in a very hectic pass exit. In the meantime I propose this photograph for the photo contest @czechglobalhosts Tuesday - Antarctica + the world's oceans.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #31 – winner announcement!
@fjorenca African Wednesday entry:
I have posted before about the White Desert of Egypt. Not too far from that, near the Bahariya Oasis, you can find the contrasting Black Desert of Egypt with its glorious black topped golden mountains popping out of nowhere. The area owes this appearance to ancient volcanoes and the presence of abundant iron ore. I climbed to the top of one of these charcoal peaks to get this incredible view. Doesn't it look like it belongs to another planet?

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – European Thursday week #31 – winner announcement!
@dmytrokorol European Thursday entry:
Often during the road trips, I don't have the perfect conditions for shooting. But I don't mind to take the photos in daylight on an interesting spot, because I don't know where I will be during the sunrise or sunset. Sometimes I don't have much time or possibility to search for the best position and just shoot from the road. And sometimes I just got lucky, like in this case on the road along Lovrafjorden in Norway.

San Antonio de Areco is a small, rural town about 70 miles northwest of Buenos Aires. This town was built on the legends of gauchos and today is still a vibrant ranching community. In the middle of town is this incredible bar, Boliche de Bessonart. This building is 200 years old and began as a general store. Today, it's a popular family-run bar that serves great food and beverages. While the building is historic, the business is definitely modern because the bar has a 4.7 star Google Review rating!
Last time I posted a close-up shot of Laguna Colorada (Red Lagoon) from Bolivia, with flamingos at the foreground. This time, it's a wide angle photo including some alpacas grazing on the altiplano and several volcanoes at the background. You can still see the flamingos - they look like white dots in the red lake.
Wow, what a crazy place with all those colors!
Seems you regained your blood these days? Suddenly alive... ;)
Something like that. ;)
I cannot see the flamingos but the image is still wonderful.
Thank you Tomas! I see the flamingos by almost sticking my face onto the screen. ;)
We stayed in a lodge in the Amazon Rainforest in Bolivia in Madidi National Park and this lake was right next to the lodge. Even though the sky was pretty clear there were still some beautiful colors at sunset, especially with the perfect reflection in the lake.
Thank you so much for your participation and this outstanding image. Great job. Tomas
Llanganuco lake was one of the most beautiful lagoons that I visited near Huraraz, Peruvian. The Andean landscape in the Cordillera Blanca is stunning and I did some amazing hikes despite the rainy weather.
That's a perfect entry for Thursday Green Color Challenge!
I hope so :)
Fantastic entry! Thank you so much for that.

My wife and I stayed for a while along the Amazon River. This pic was taken as we were going further in and these 2 boys were arguing on who had to pole the boat. They almost tipped it over in the process. Boys will be boys.

What an amazing experience that is to spent some time by the Amazon River. Thank you for your entry. Tomas
Hermoso atardecer de Margarita!
Gracias Gaby, Si son muy hermosos.
Some amazing orange color you got there. Fantastic!
Thanks Tomas, Yes, It's a particularly colorful place.
Fishing is one of the main productive activities of the Island of Margarita. The population of Boca del Río is one of the places where most of the fishing in Margarita takes place. This photo was taken from the pier of the university where I study, where I could capture a day of fishing like any other.
Thank you so much for your participation. Tomas
This picture was taken in the Atacama Desert in the north of Chile. It was an amazing sunset. The Atacama Desert is known for being one of the driest places in the world. That combined with the altitude of around 2500 meters makes it an extraordinary place, it actually felt like being on another planet.
Welcome to Steemit! What a great image to start off in my contest. Great job. Tomas
This photo is from Puerto la Cruz, Venezuela . Puerto la Cruz is a city on the southern shore of the Caribbean. This was inside the national park of Mochima. What is beautiful about Mochima is all it's different little islands, each with it's own uniqueness. The entire park is 94,935 hectares. The islands range from gigantic cliffs with no vegetation to jungle vegetation and sandy beaches.
After spending the day at the beach, I came across this pink sky awesomeness, beautiful blue water and some really nice sea gulls posing.
Some days just look like paintings, don't they?

Beautiful photo!
Thanks Justin
Oh well, we can make an exception:)... I am glad you got a courage and submitted your wonderful image. Thank you so much for that. Have a great day. Tomas
Hey, glad to see you posting in the @czechglobalhosts contest! :D
P.S. there's an approximate 50-word limit for submissions, but hopefully Tomas will forgive your first-time exuberance. ;)
Oh shoot. I read the 50 words and I don't know why I thought it was "minimum". :(
Oh wow! I got an upvote from Tomas and made it to the top ten. This came out better than I thought! Thanks Tomas, and finally, good to meet you. :)
I knew you'd do well! :)
As far south of the equator as I am north of the equator, this mountain stands proudly above the city of Coyhaique, in the Aysen region of Chile. From at any point in the city you can glance up to find Cerro McKay looming above you and know which direction you are facing. I took this photo just as the sun peaked over the opposing horizon and cast it's red morning light on the rock face.
Fabulous entry and a beautiful picture.
