Hello fellow Steemians!
I am starting the week #59 of my 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge and we are back to the continent of Asia.
If you like to participate, place your personal image from your travels in Asia in the comment section below with a short 30 to 50 word description. 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 SBD in total. So far I have given out thousands of dollars in upvotes and hundreds of SBD in rewards.

The island located on the Indonesian border is the island of Sabang. This small island saves a million natural beauty. A stunning beach, and underwater beauty that makes this island very crowded with foreign tourists. A photo that I took on the Ujoeng beach kareung at sunrise some time ago on Sabang island.

Houhai Lake Beijing China
Houhai Lake is surrounded by restaurants and bars. We had a classic beijing dinner at this floating restaurant on the lake. The lotus plants all light up around the tables on the lake was an awesome way to set the ambience for dinner.
crazy colours on that one! cool shot!
Cheers mate👍
Cheers to you!
Siem Reap, Cambodia's second-largest city, is the country's tourist hotspot number one for only one reason - its proximity to the ancient temple city of Angkor. Nevertheless, there are some other nice photo spots, like this bridge and the wonderful temple in the city centre that you can see in the background.
The Temple of Nai Harn
While we stayed on Phuket in Thailand I passed this Temple almost daily. In the early morning, when it was calm, you could see these nice reflections on the Nai Harn Lake. One morning I was lucky enough to got my camera with me.
Temple of Heaven
The famous Temple of Heaven is located in Bejing and was built to pray for a good harvest in spring time. The colours and the design of the roof were very impressive.
Rocks in Taroko Gorge, Taiwan
Taroko Gorge in Eastern Taiwan features not only an impressive Gorge, but also a hike to these interesting rock formations. They might look like paintings, but are actually natural! I had a great day exploring the national park on a scooter.

I have also posted this photo on my blog.
I clearly remember this day because It was my birthday. I was sitting on the beach with a glass of beer and watching the sunset .. on the beach called Bingin.. which is known for a big waves and hazardous reef. Although the waves are limited to advanced surfers, the beach gets crowded especially on the weekends and it’s a great view to watch all surfers playing with waves... but sunsets are very calm.
It was a long time since I participated in Asian Sunday as I was usually more or less offline through the weekends. This weekend is different so I am sharing a photo of young orangutan in his natural habitat. I was privileged to go on trekking on Sumatra last year.
Enjoy your Sunday!

Twilight Zone
And again, taken deep from the archives this time from Autumn 2013, a stunning colorful sunset at the beach of Turkey, nearby Alanya. Again, while one week vacations there, shot just at the beach territory of the hotel.
Very nice twilight colors here, a bit of long exposure and a hotel's pier far away to improve composition
Enjoy the scenery!

In my last day in Cappadocia region, we had a few hours to spend before the flight to Istambul, so we decided to visit Lake Tuz, a salt flat nearby. I admit, the photos look slightly better than reality; but the light effect is amazing, blurring the horizon, so we almost can't distinguish where the lake stops and the horizon begins. Here, one of my travel buddies socializing in the middle of the flat.
