Photo is from Chobe National Park in Botswana, where we took sundowner cruise on the river and really enjoyed our time. We had great captain, who stayed in the park really until the last time and gave us opportunity to see that beautiful sunset with elephants for cherry on the top.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #42 - winner announcement!

@jpphotography Asian Sunday entry:

Railay Beach Viewpoint, Thailand. Located near Krabi, Railay Beach is a popular spot for rock climbing. I do some rock climbing myself, but in Railay I went on a different kind of climbing trip when I scrambled up a small trail to reach this beautiful viewpoint - covered in mud.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Australian Monday week #42 - winner announcement!

@bluebottlefilms Australian Monday entry:

It's whale season again across the south east coast of Australia. Keep an eye out for those spurts, especially around dawn. The low position of the sun makes the spurts glimmer on the surface during this time, making them much easier to see.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans week #42 - winner announcement!

@mata.lensa Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:

The sea that surrounds the world has become an important role for all the living beings that exist on earth. Even the sea counted larger than the mainland. And below is the ocean located at the western tip of the island of Sumatra (Aceh). This area is also a silent witness to the Tsunami disaster in 2004 that destroyed Aceh and is now the best destination point in "Banda Aceh".

I've posted many photographs from my visit to Zanzibar in June of 2016. Stone Town is truly an incredible part of the island with beautiful colonial architecture. This shot was taken from the rooftop teahouse restaurant at the Emerson on Hurumzi. The view of the crowded port full of ships was pretty spectacular to see in person.

That sure looks like a great place to dine.

Ksar Ghilane-Tozeur Tunisia
The region of Ksar Ghilane is distinguished by its red sand. It's after a rain that his name makes sense.
Indeed, it becomes really red, a striking contrast with the sky once again blue and shrubs immediately green!

I am always amazed how tough camels are to survive in such fear conditions.

Ait Benhaddou, Morocco

I have already posted a few photos of this ancient mud-brick town. The beautiful mud-brick houses surrounded by palm trees and the Atlas mountains were a fantastic day trip from Ouarzazate.

Hi Tomas. Long time now see. While I'm sitting here in the beautiful Victoria, Canada, I saw your post and missed my local trails!

Here Deryck and I am exploring a single track high up in the Jonkershoek Valley, near Stellenbosch in South Africa. During spring time the typical plants of this area, called "fynbos", grow beautiful little flowers, as far as the eye can see!

Keep exploring...

Ait Benhaddou near Quarzazate, Morocco
i visited the old village of Ait Benhaddou back in january 2017. Its a really quiet and peaceful place and you definitly should cross by if you have time on your travel through marroco. It also was part of my trip to merzouga which i wrote about in my current travelreport about Morocco.

Thank you so much for your entry!

I appreciate your great work @czechglobalhosts! Thank you !

Admiring the sunset over the Nile, in Aswan, Egypt after a hot day exploring the city. Aswan is known for it busy market but one can also relax on a Felucca.

Thank you so much for your participation. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on.

Africa is awesome. Looking out of the Indian Ocean gives us perspective.

Original personal photo looking out over the Indian Ocean from the lighthouse in East Africa.

Looking out from the lighthouse there is much to be seen. The breaking of the waves on the reefs at the edge of the lagoon. The contrast between the lighter coloured water in the lagoon versus the dark blue of the Indian Ocean beyond. Watch out for the sharks out there. Good for fishing but the water is deep deep deep.

Africa. What a beautiful continent. I love to wake up early and go on safari, searching for the big 5. We were succesful a few times already. Here is one of them, the leopard. Chobe National Park, Botswana.

Something I still have to do in my life:)

You have to.
Namibia, Botswana and South Africa, they are all great.


Panoramic view to the two of three famous Great Pyramids of Giza and a Sphinx in the middle. Taken from pretty far away with long tele-photo lens compressing the perspective
Pretty favorable weather with cloudy skies, which are not so often guests in Cairo I guess. Also this leaded to some nice light and shadow play on the pyramids

Enjoy the scenery :)
