7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #21 – winner announcement!
@kcaj88 Asian Sunday entry:
This is a photo that I took in Xinjiang, China. That's a Euphrates Poplar Forest which is about 6000 years old. Euphrates Poplar can live up to 3000 years old and even though the trees are dead, they can still stand for another 3000 years. I think they are tough and strong there for I took that pic.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #21 – winner announcement!
@stabilowl Australian Monday entry:
It was early evening and I was walking along the coastline at the Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney with my camera and tripod looking for something to shoot. I was almost at the end the the trail, close to Mrs Macquarie's Chair, when I was treated with this beautiful skyline of the City of Sydney, with all the colours reflecting on the water. I spend quite a bit of time there, perfecting my shots. And here is the best one.

This is another shot from my Christmas Day visit to Hermosa Pier just south of Los Angeles. I took photos from an hour or two before the sunset until darkness. While I love the darker orange as the sun set, the bright golden yellow really shows the beauty of this beach.
What a shot Matt!
To continue the series of frozen Baltic Sea coastline, here is quite a special and minimalist shot of the stone completely frozen into the ice. Stunning colors of very very cold winter sunset, cause by still very high humidity of the air and unique singh-ray color polarizing filter mounted.
Totally phantasmagorical view
Enjoy it!

Red dragon over the icy mountain
Last week, at the same stage of this wonderful contest, I showed you how the Greenland icebergs look underwater. Yes, it certainly is a spectacular spectacle and even a little alien. But under the water there is absolutely no color. And everything looks a bit grim. So I decided this week to share one of my pictures with the top of the ice giant in the bright glow of the Greenland's sunset.
Beautiful colours! It does look like a dragon!
Many thanks!!!
Well, this week is stunning as well! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!!!
Wooooow, those colours!!!
Meeting with Zeus over the open waters on a stormy evening near Darwin Australia. Dark clouds electrically charged from which purple lightning strikes up and down creating a fabulous show to watch from shore.
Location: Darwin, Australia.
What an image! Splendid!
:) thank you
I clicked this shot at Punta Arenas, the capital city of Chile's southernmost region - Magallanes and Antartica Chilena. Together with Ushuaia in Argentina and Christchurch in New Zealand, Punta Arenas is a common starting point for Antarctic expeditions. I didn't expect a splendid sunset like this in such a cold windy place. =)
Beautiful sunset! I only had grey sky when I was there.
Thanks :) I was lucky that evening.
Beautiful sunset! Did you go on an Antarctic Expedition?
Not yet, I’ll wait till I have the time and budget ;)
This is the story of the greatest journey. Whales swim across the ocean to later produce offspring. And people fly across half the globe to see it. And then many hours at sea to see the whale far away. And if very lucky, then a few minutes in the water next to him.
Family of humpback whales. The Kingdom of Tonga is at the very edge of geography
That is amazing! How long did you spend in the water to capture this? How deep did you have to go?
Usually a day on the boat in search of a whale takes about 10 hours. During this time in the water can be 30-50 minutes on average. The rest depends heavily on the behavior of whales and the weather. When the whales move, you spend only a few minutes in the water at one time. All this time you are actively rowing by your fins. If the whales are standing still, that is, the opportunity to swim nearby for 20-30 minutes.
Wow! So much effort to capture these stunning images! Really admirable!
That is amazing! How wonderful it must be to experience something like this!
Yes, in fact, this is one of the strongest impressions in the water.
Just a few minutes. But it's worth it.
This is sunset from Indian Ocean and Thai Island Koh-Phi. I came to this point day after day but all sunsets was different. I try to shot images with simular compostions and one idea, but can't. Because this place was completely different on different days although, it was the same place.
Welcome to the challenge! You have made quite an entrance with this image! Absolutely stunning! I hope to see more from you. Tomas
Thanks! I will try not to miss the challenges :)
The lighthouse at Peggy's Cove warns ships away from the rocky Nova Scotia shore. I like to look for reflections when I'm at a lighthouse like this - there are often depressions in the rocks that hold sea water and keep it still.
Great shot!!!
Thanks, @photofreediver!
Breath-taking!
Thank you! :)
Sunrise at the beach Playa de la Tejita in Tenerife of the Canary Islands. The huge rock in the background is called La Montaña Roja. Unfortunately they started building large hotels at this former unspoiled and beautiful beach...

Thank You Tomas, for your support of the photographers here on steemit :)
Red morning on Ponta da Piedade
Ponta da Piedade is a very popular viewpoint in Algarve. I was scouting this place a day before this shot, and it was crowded even though December is offseason. When I woke up in the morning, it was raining, and clouds covered the sky. I had to drive 30 km one way to get to Ponta da Piedade, so it was a kinda hard decision to get off a warm bed and move to the unknown in not very exciting weather conditions. However, I jumped in my car and headed to Lagos. Soon I was regretting my long hesitations because the light started to appear and it was beautiful! Happily, I was at the site just in time to find the other 5 or 6 fellow photographers on the best places )) Anyway, there was still enough place for me.

Have spent the whole summer in Lagos, it's an amazing place, especially if you go inside the caves :) Great shot!
What a stunning image! Wonderful!
