7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #11 - winner announcement!

@vinceboisgard Asian Sunday entry:

This is a view from Kawah Ijen, a volcano located near Banyuwangi in Indonesia. After I climbed to the top and went down into the crater during the night. This was the view I had on my way down as the sun had just rised. Sulfur smokes and fog, other volcanoes and dead trees still standing on the edge of the volcano.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #11 – winner announcement!

@animebros Australian Monday entry:

The Great Ocean Road is one of the top 5 places to visite in Autralia and it really is not hard to see why. :) These are two of the Twelve Apostles, soft limestone pillars formed by erosion from the Southern Ocean. They are called the 12 Apostles but there were never 12 only 9 at the beginning and since one collapsed in 2005 only 8 remain.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Tuesday of Antarctica and the world’s oceans week #11 – winner announcement!

@axeman Tuesday of Antarctica and world's oceans entry:

Do you think this picture is taken somewhere far north where is always cold? Not this time. This could happen even in Europe and it is actually taken at Baltic Sea, Lithuania during some quite cold period of the winter. Sometimes even here we have temperature dropping to -20 and still with very high humidity. When you even getting some ice under your nose when breathing :)

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #11 – winner announcement!

@exposez African Wednesday entry:

This image was made in one of the parks north of Maun, near Savuti. This one had more flexible rules allowing us to leave before dawn was completely up. That's what allowed me to take this image before the sun reach us, a few seconds later. We were looking for the leopard but this herd of Impalas on this ridge caught my eye.

Here's an entry just under the wire. This is from just outside Arles, France. There's so much beautiful country and farmland out here. I'm saving the view when you turn the other way for another time, but I just love the bucolic feel of this area.

Fabulous reminds me of the place where I cycle at home.

Dresden, a beautiful city along the river Elbe
I have visited Dresden twice already. There are wonderful spots along the river where you can relax, have nice beer and just let your thoughts flow. In the back you can see the "Frauenkirche" which was rebuild between 1996 and 2005 after it was destroyed in WW2.

Great to have an entry from you! Fantastic!

Life was meant to be colourful

Popeye Village, also known as Sweethaven Village and Danish Village, is a film set purposely built village, now converted into a small attraction fun park, consisting of a collection of rustic and ramshackle wooden buildings. It is located at Anchor Bay, 3 kilometres (2 mi) from the village core of Mellieħa, Malta.

This shot from last October (during golden hour on sunset) when we visited Malta for photogrpahic workshop.

Really great image! :)

Fabulous image! Thank you so much for your continued support! Tomas

Ireland is a great place to travel if you like old castles and green rolling hills. We stumbled across this beautiful rundown castle whilst travelling down the south west coast of County Kerry.

What a wonderful entry! Thank you so much!

Late afternoon, as I wander the streets of Paris. The sun is setting down behind these buildings, its last rays are shining through the clouds that are slowly coming down. The view is all mine! And the show is impressive: The Iron Lady (Eiffel Tower) with its head in the clouds, showing of through this street lighten by the warm colors of this sunset.

What a stunning picture! I just love it!

Crystal clear turquoise waters of the famous Blue Lagoon on the Comino Island in Malta. I lived in this tiny but beautiful Mediterranean country for six months and it will always have a special place in my heart :)

Few people choose to visit Stockholm in the winter and even the locals wonder why you are there but the city still maintains its charm and the cold adds it's own unique styling18381957_334533140295403_5214051573918859264_n.jpg

What a great submission. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement. Tomas

This picture was taken in September 2016 in Castillo de Baños in the South of Spain. It's a really small village (less than 100 habitants) in front of the Mediterranean Sea at approximately 100 km from Malaga.

Beautiful shot! Thank you so much for sharing that. Tomas

I did this picture the first year in Pyrénées Orientales (France) during winter. I'm falling in love with the beauties of this landscape. Every day at the dawn or sunset you could see strange light and great mood.

Wow, just stunning!

Just after we got married, my wife and I traveled for a romantic trip to Paris. We bought wine and cheese at a local supermarket and went up to the top of the Eiffel tower to enjoy the views just after sunset... this was our view!

What a great image! Thank you for your submission. Tomas

This photo comes from a family vacation that I went on a few years ago to Spain. This one was taken at the front of the Royal Site of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, located in the town of El Escorial near Madrid, Spain. Taking symetrical photos such as this one is lots of fun and looks really neat, and I think that this one is definitely my favorite from that trip!

Thank you so much for your entry but due to a high number of submissions, I will pick other images to go further at this time. Tomas

A few years ago I took the Great Ocean Road and it is absolutely stunning! I would recommend everybody to take also the helicopter tour over the 12 Apostles, amazing!

That would be an amazing experience. I did that over the Grand Canyon and it was one of the most fascinating things I have ever done in my life.

Photo of the Palas of the Wartburg Castle (Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany). It is buit in Romanesque style, in the photo it can also be seen the south tower. Martin Luther seek refuge in this Castle, he was here between 1521 y 1522, and in that time he translated the New Testament into German.

Thank you so much for your entry but due to a high number of submissions, I will pick other images to go further at this time. Tomas

This huge white cathedral is located in the city center of Helsinki (Finland). It was built in 1830-1852 as a tribute to Tsar Nicholas, that is why it was called St.Nicolas' Church.

Though outside it is very beautiful the interior is very simple - totally white with the altar.

Thank you so much for your entry but due to a high number of submissions, I will pick other images to go further at this time. Tomas

Amazing view of Puerto de la Cruz, small coastal town on the Canary island of Tenerife, Spain.
The town is famous for its unique, relaxed atmosphere, beautiful beaches and charming architecture.

Worth to visit!
