7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Australian Monday week #37 - winner announcement!
@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:
When I was travelling through Australia I spent two days on the Great Ocean Road. The weather was quite grey and I didn't get good light for the first day and a half. And also the last evening didn't look different. I still went down to the Gibson Steps and waited. This light was the reward.

The best way to explore Europe is by train. Even on the train your can admire the amazing scenery the Europe countryside has to offer. I was on a train from Salzburg to Zurich when I snapped this picture. The little houses looks cute against the lush mountain side, with the Alps towering in the background. Such a beautiful mountain landscape!
What an incredible capture! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us.
Picture of "The IX fort" in Kaunas, Lithuania. Shot in the middle of the day and this is single handheld shot. The IX fort is a part of the Kaunas Fortress, which was constructed in the late 19th century. During the occupation of Kaunas and the rest of Lithuania by the Soviet Union, the fort was used as a prison and way-station for prisoners being transported to labour camps. After the occupation of Lithuania by Nazi Germany, the fort was used as a place of execution for Jews, captured Soviets, and others (information provided according to Wikipedia, where You can find much more info about this place).
Enjoy the picture and don`t forget to enlarge :)
This is a nice low angle shot! And what an awesome site - could be perfect for a movie!
Thanks, location is really spectacular! Camera was literally touching the ground :)
What a mysterious shot! Great job.
Thank You Tomas!
Isle of Eigg, Scotland
The trip to Scotland — the rough and rugged edge of Europe — was a first for me. I was amazed daily by the rapid changes in the weather: the same sky that was gray and ominous one moment could become illuminated with brilliant sunlight the next. There were days when it seemed we could experience all four seasons in the span of a few hours.
Splendid!
Last year I visited Northern Spain for one week. I stayed in the Liencres area, which has an awesome rugged coast line. On this evening I went down to the Manzano sea stacks, which you see in the background. It was a grey and moody evening, somehow fitting for this scene.
Thank you so much for your entry, great as always!
Rainy gloom descends over the Rock of Cashel, County Tipperary in Ireland. Prior to the Normal invasion it was the traditional seat of the kings and royalty of Munster. . The round tower dates from when it was It was donated to the Church in 1101 while the cathedral was built between 1235 and 1270. The rock was sacked in 1647 during the Irish Confederate Wars by forces aligned with Cromwell. Close to 1,000 were killed during the sacking of Cashel

European?! Well let's see what I have. I took this shot about a year ago in Saxony, Germany, very close to the Czech Border. A well hidden treasure that got famous through RedBull and Instagram. A park in which a half round Bridge forms a perfect circle in its own reflection. Surrounded by Trees and abstract rock formations. Magical place. The autumn colors round it up to a perfect frame!
Amazing...
Thank you!!!
Lost for words, what an amazing entry! Have a fantastic day. Tomas
Thank you so much! You too ;) Thanks for hosting these daily contests
Wow, perfect shot and colors!
Thank you! Glad you like it
Thank you!!!
Stunning colourful summer sunset shot with pretty long exposure to make water silky. Baltic Sea, nearby Klaipeda, Lithuania. Wide angle lens used to get most of the perspective and found some nice piece of wood for better foreground view
Enjoy the colors!

Thank you, always aware of your publications.
One of the true wonders of the world is the Jurassic Coast located in the south of the UK. The coast has numerous historically/geologically significant spots and is protected by the UNESCO heritage.
On the image below a path is leading down to the Durdle Door - a spectacular limestone arch (maybe for the next time)! The other side has a nice little beach.
We spent here an evening and continued our journey down the coast to explore more. One of the unforgettable experiences for sure!
What an amazing view and wonderful landscape. Love it!
Thank you! 😃
Another amazing hike in the North of Norway, a three hour hike gets you there... They call this the blue lake and I guess that needs no explanation :)
PS: It is actually this blue, there is no photoshop on this one.
Tremendous place, wonderful image!
