@hansmast African Wednesday entry:
For one heart-stopping moment, this giant Simba was 7 feet away, had his eyes fixed upon me, and was walking right toward me in my open-sided safari vehicle. My pulse went through the roof, but at the last possible second, he turned aside and walked around our vehicle.

@rimicane European Thursday entry:
The Glyder Fawr is one of the amazing mountains in the Snowdonia, Wales, UK. There is a path to go up in this image. Climbing was ok, the walking back was a challenge because our feet were very shaky! The view from the top of the mountain was a breathtaking experience! There are two paths - challenging and moderate. Guess what - we took the challenging because it was the shortest up. What a mistake - always go for the longest because they are the easiest! Unless you are physically fit!

@justinmullet North American Friday entry:
Pacific Coast Sunset. The views from Panoramic Drive and Pan Toll Road are absolutely stunning. I took this photo a year ago from a hilltop above Pan Toll Road in the Mt. Tamalpais area north of San Francisco. After climbing to the top, I spent more than an hour watching the sun set over the Pacific Ocean, casting it's surreal light on the grass covered hills below me.

I Have no good quality camera now, that is why i can't join this contest.
Hey @sabbir1213, you don't need a super expensive high end camera to take great photos. My photograph presented here was taken with a Samsung WB 100, the so called 'point and shoot' cameras, where some of the adjustments are locked.
I guess the secret is to be curious, try all the different settings on your cheap camera, take a bunch of photos of the same place with different settings, learn every single function on it by trying and failing. But most importantly, never ever forget to contemplate the landscapes with your own eyes.
The inverse can be said for purchasing an expensive camera. The camera cannot frame your shot or choose your subject which is a large part of what makes a great photo. Someone can buy a really nice camera and still have trouble getting good photos.
My mom asked me all the time how I got such great shots with my smartphone and my response was always:
Exactly! And how many photos, I've realised later, had been ruined because the lens were completely dirty hahaha
