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

Standing at the peak of 1,379 meters in Nahuelbuta National Park in central Chile, I was stunned by this breathtaking view at sunset. The Monkey Puzzle trees are sacred to the Mapuche native American tribes. They date back up to 2,000 years, and can grow up to 40 meters high. To the west it's the immense Pacific Ocean, and to the east an impressive chain of Andean volcanoes.

Bromo at Dawn. The morning atmosphere in the area of Mount Bromo. Bromo is one of the world-famous tourist destinations. I took this photo at 5:35 am Indonesia time. According to local belief, Mount Bromo is the name of the Main God in Hinduism. Active volcanoes in East Java, Indonesia. It has a height of 2,329 meters above sea level. The Tenggerese are native settlers around the mountain, believing that this mountain has magical powers that can protect their lives.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Australian Monday week #38 - winner announcement!

@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:

Already Monday again :-) Today I show you a photo from my first trip to New Zealand back in 2014. The weather on the North Island wasn't very good and we had to cancle many of our plans. But down in the south-east at Castlepoint a spell of sunny weather was forecast. So we drove down there and it was a great decision. The Castlepoint Lighthouse with Castlerock in the distance is such a beautiful subject to photograph. And asside from that there's also a beautiful beach and some steep cliffs to explore.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans week #38 - winner announcement!

@amyalfatasya Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:

Enjoy the beauty of the beach and the sunset in the "puloet" (Aceh). The beach is located at the end of "Great Aceh" and travels about 50 kilometers from the city "Banda Aceh" The sea is directly opposite the strait of the Indies. In addition to offering beauty, the waves on this beach is quite large and tall. This beach is rarely visited because of the ferocity of the waves.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - African Wednesday week #38 - winner announcement!

@derangedvisions African Wednesday entry:

The lioness is waking with a yawn to great the other as the sun rises across the Serengetti in Tanzania. There really aren't words to describe the amazing feeling as you witness the early morning sun on the Serengetti and the animals wake for the day.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - European Thursday week #38 - winner announcement!

@davedavis91 European Thursday entry:

There is Switzerland which is, I have to admit, really pretty. But than there is the Saxon Switzerland, which is even better ;) Nah, just kidding. It is fairly close though, thus I spent a lot of time in this pretty little area in the east of Germany. This shot was taken about 1h/ 90minutes before Sunrise. Heavy rain the night before provided the foundation for this super cool foggy scenery. An ocean of clouds with only the peaks penetrating the surface. Shot with my Nikon D5300 (Sigma 8-16mm).

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - North American Friday week #38 - winner announcement!

@jman27 North American Friday entry:

Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park in California just before sunrise. This is probably the most popular viewpoint in the park and there were at least 30 or 40 people already there when I arrived. Probably because it was too hot to sleep.
