Hello fellow Steemians!

Welcome to my 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - African Wednesday - where the winner of the weekly round will be able to participate for the total of 200 Steem!

Today, you can participate by submitting your personal pictures from your travels to the continent of Africa.

See the winner of the last week´s African Wednesday @vcclothing with the following entry:

We came across this Boabab tree in the Okavango Delta in Botswana. They also call this tree the upside down tree, as its looks like the roots are in the air and the earth is the foliage. It was a nice spot in the shade.

Your entries need to be submitted by 8 AM Central European Time in order to be considered for the challenge with a description of approximately 30 to 50 words. Only use of personal images will be accepted and only one picture can be submitted for a daily photo challenge. Ten winning photos will receive a bigger upvote from me and ten runners-up will get a smaller one.

Chosen from the ten winning entries, the absolute winner of the day will receive extended publicity in my post tomorrow morning. I will also visit his/her blog to upvote one of the most recent posts. The winning picture of the daily challenge will then automatically enter other rounds with the absolute winner gaining approximately 200 Steem in total.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #103 - winner announcement!

@axeman Asian Sunday entry:

This time nice view from Sharjah, UAE. This is of smallest and "poorest" Emirates but most religiously concerned... There are no so many skyscrapers than in Dubai, but still much more than in my city.. :D Here had quite a luck to catch sun's halo on sunset. Though pretty hard shooting conditions straight against the sun and without LEE gradient filter. So had to gather a lot of information from the shadows to get building details, but well, good enough I hope. Enjoy the scenery!

@kapengbarako Australian Monday entry:

This is Cape Reinga, located at the northern part of the North Island in New Zealand. It is 100 kilometers from Kaitaia, the nearest town. "Reinga" is a Māori word which means "the underworld" for which they believe that the place is where the souls enter the underworld.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans week #103 – winner announcement!

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

The way to the SUNSET at the baltic sea! A breathtaking scenery offers this wonderful sunsets after a stormy shower on the Baltic Sea in Warnemünde. The seagull can also enjoy the beautiful tranquility on the beach and the fishing boat in the background drives to the sunset. A moment of peace and relaxation at the beach of Warnemünde. That´s the way of life!

Realized around the year -2500, the Sphinx of Giza was sponsored by Djédefrê, one of the pharaohs of the 4th Dynasty and would be a representation of his father, Pharaoh Cheops. It welcomes visitors in front of the great pyramids of the Giza plateau in memory of the deceased.

The desert diagonals


Love this long tele-photo lens multiplied by crop sensor to be used through the window of the plane.
And quite an interesting shot of segment of the desert while flying over Egypt to Hurghada.

Honestly no idea what is it, but looks like not the road. Maybe some pipeline... who knows, but looks very unusual

Enjoy it!
