Flamingos at Laguna Kara, Bolivia. The "volcano flamingos" enjoy the rough conditions of the Bolivian Altiplano that keep them safe from predators. Hundreds of them were gathering at Laguna Kara in front of the snow peaked Andean volcanoes.

La Casa del Arbol in Banos, Ecuador
"La Casa del Arbol" is a tree house with a giant swing in the Ecuadorean Andes. Even though I got chased by dogs on my way up, it was well worth the hike from Banos for this breathtaking view!

I have also posted this photo on my blog.
Wow, that is one hell of a swing!
This is probably the only mall in the world I actually like. The Larcomar in Lima, Peru is on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean and at sunset you can see paragliders flying overhead. Additionally, Peruvian super chef Gaston Acurio has a restaurant in the mall.
Wow, that sure is an amazing mall!
Legend has it that in this valley a man died as a result of the cold many years ago. That is why it is called Valle El Muerto due to his death, in addition his body is buried in that valley adorned with stones and a cross. It belongs to the Sierra de la Culata National Park of the State of Merida, Venezuela.
What an amazing entry and stunning picture. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much for your participation and this wonderful entry. Have a great Sunday. Tomas
This imposing rocky mountain, is known as the dome.
It is a mountain composed of rocks of metamorphic origin, which is found at about 4200 meters above sea level. It presents rocks like schist and gneiss.
It is an attraction a little undervalued in my city, maybe for the distance and to be on a route, not very touristy, if not typical of hikers.
You can reach it, through a beautiful crossing in the valley of Mifafia, where we will observe numerous lagoons, moraines and peaks.
Camera: FUJIFILMS JX 200
Location: El Domo, Mifafi Valley, Merida, Venezuela.
Thank you so much for your participation. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming soon. Tomas
Thank you so much for your participation. Have a great Sunday. Tomas
The Canyon Itaimbezinho in Cambara do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil.
This is one of those places where you just need to sit and contemplate; without being busy with cellphones, apps and everyday life duties. Its vastiness make you think about the great creations of nature. I'm sure this is a part of Brazil that not many people know.

What a wonderful piece of nature!
Thank you @czechglobalhosts, this place is indeed amazing, and this particular canyon there's a trail that follows the river on the bottom. It's called "Trilha do Rio do Boi"
Looks like the sky is on fire. Great shot! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us.
Thanks to you Tomas, who gives us the opportunity to share and compete in your beautiful contests
This is a photograph I took in the Anzoátegui state. The landscape is a view from "El Pertigalete". Pertigalete is a locality of Guanta in the state mentioned above. As you can see the landscape is extremely beautiful and it is a pleasure to be able to observe it.
Love that sky!
Today I want to show you a beautiful landscape: Laguna El Morro. It is located on the Isla de Margarita - Venezuela. It is a beautiful lagoon accompanied by a large cactus. I had the pleasure of contemplating it for a few minutes and it was really lovely.
I sure have to make to Venezuela one day.
