Another view from the Lagunazo
The Lagunazo is an area located on the western peak of the Waraira Repano mountain, a mountain that borders the Caribbean Sea to the north and the capital city of Caracas - Venezuela to the south. It is located at an altitude of 2620 meters above sea level. This is the second in a list of four peaks, being the first the peak Avila and the only town of them, and then wrapped in a natural environment within one of the other 3 remaining peaks, being these: Pico Occidental, Oriental and Naiguatá, the last one at an altitude of 2765 meters above sea level.
This image corresponds to what we call "the sea of clouds" which shows how the capital city of Caracas is completely covered by these. A unique image, a natural paradise a few kilometers from the chaos of the city.
What a great contribution from @zaxan to the photo challenge! I have visited @zaxan blog and upvoted his post called Photoventure // Weekly shooting curation #Photography // Minnow Support Project Community Curation. @zaxan amazing entry from Lagunazo is qualifying for the weekly challenge where it will be competing against the previous and upcoming winners of the week:

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #92 – winner announcement!
@jpphotography Australian Monday entry:
Sunset at Uluru (Ayers Rock). When I was travelling in Australia, I did not even plan on visiting Uluru. Why would anyone drive through the Outback for thousands of kilometres just to see a giant rock? But since my ride share from Cairns to Darwin wanted to see Uluru, I endet up there. I was not really expecting anything, but in fact, Uluru is so much more than just a "giant rock" and I had an incredible time in the national park!
@kekos Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:
Enjoy one of the epics sunsets in Australia - Cable Beach is a 22 km (14 mi) stretch of white sand beach on the eastern Indian Ocean and the name of the surrounding suburb in Broome, Western Australia. This place is very popular in "winter" time where a lot of Aussies and bacpackers coming.
7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - African Wednesday week #92 - winner announcement!
@derangedvisions African Wednesday entry:
Wow, it has been a while since I participated here. This image is from Tanzania when I visited a Maasai church outside of Mtu wa Mbu Village. It was such an awesome experience and the people were so welcoming. We spent the day singing songs, dancing and having a great time with them. Then afterwards, we all gathered for some group pictures and more singing.
7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - European Thursday week #92 - winner announcement!
@garielatravels European Thursday entry:
This place is called The Emerald Lake and it was formed due to the massive exploitation of basalt in that area. Or how I like calling it - the beautiful disaster. Because I consider it a rare thing after such activities to be born this beauty. And its colour is usually greener and cleaner, but when I visited it was during the storm and that made it look a little bit different than usual. The Emerald Lake, Racoș, Romania.
7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – North American Friday week #92 – winner announcement!
@robbertb North American Friday entry:
Moment Valley on the Utah-Arizona border in The US is one of the most impressive places I have visited. It was about 30 degrees celcius and we got a chance to walk around one of the giant buttes. It was about a five kilometer hike through the desert. The views, as you can see were amazing!
