7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #55 - winner announcement!
@vinceboisgard Asian Sunday entry:
Trekking the Himalayas is such a wonderful experience, the views are stunning even breathtaking! It is a physical walk but for the locals, carrying huge bags of rice wearing pyjamas pants while walking in the snow is a routine! I always was amazed by them overtaking me on the way!

@bluebottlefilms Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:
This one is fresh out of the water. Although the waves were small, it allowed me to get right up close to the impact zone. The water was only about half a meter deep so keeping an eye on the sets was important to avoid being flattened on the reef.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - African Wednesday week #55 - winner announcement!
@axeman African Wednesday entry:
Aswan at Dusk. True photographers seems to never sleep, especially while travelling :) Joking of course, but still some truth in those words exist when coming to landscape photography, since most amazing shots you can get while dusk or dawn. So here we go, early morning in Aswan, the morning when we arrived there by cruise ship from Luxor.
Shot with long tele-photo lens from the upper deck of the ship. Enjoy the scenery :)

This is another photo from the beautiful mountains in Switzerland. I took this photo just above the very small town of Reuti, in the region of Interlaken. There are tons of hiking trails leading to other small mountain towns open in the summer to give a great workout along with an incredible view. And if you need a place to rest, there are benches along many of the routes!
What a romantic view! Great click Matt.
View of the upper part of the Trevi Fountain - one of the iconic landmarks of Rome, Italy. Designed by the Italian architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Giuseppe Pannini, it is one of the largest and most famous Baroque fountains in the world.
That place is little hectic for my liking but needles to say I do have some great memories from there:).....
Beautiful panoramic view of the Park Guel, one of the most famous and visited landmarks of Barcelona, Spain. Designed by the Catalan architect genius Antoni Gaudi, the park is known for its abundnance of unusual, stunningly colorful buildings and structures.
Oh, I just love Barcelona... One of my most favorite cities in the entire world!
Why not to try with Aurora Borealis this Thursday. You can hardly miss with natural wonder like this.
Photo is from my trip to Iceland about a year and a half ago.
I hope you like it and enjoy your Thursday!

I certainly do! I would be very much surprised if anyone wouldn't.
Photo taken in Warwickshire in the centre of England. Summer is the time of harvest, in this image you can see the hay bales, which are kept for winter. The almost dead tree and the sepia tone give and interesting mood to the photo.
Oh, I love that. What a nice composition.
This picture was taken on a recent shorttrip to Switzerland. They dont want to be part of Europe but they can't deny the continent they live on lol.
It shows lake Brienz and the corresponding town surrounded by the beautiful Alps and was shot from a mountain called Brienzer Rothorn with a pocophone. Its not super high quality but i hope you enjoy it anyways.
What an amazing image! Thank you so much for your submission.
The rocks of Malta
As maybe already have mentioned before, the shoreline of Malta is just perfect for landscape photographers with all those amazing rocks and stones.
This shot is made early morning just about 100 meters from the hotel. Using very low shooting point the possibilities to find very nice composition are just endless. And combined with soft colors of the sunrise...
Enjoy the scenery!

Tremendous! All those colors again, simply stunning.
You do have a pretty amazing background:)
I can't complain :D Thank you Tomas !
Hill of Crosses
One of my favourite places to visit when in Lithuania. It is a pilgrimage site outside the small town called Siauliai. There are approximately 100 000 crosses of various sizes, and one could find crucifixes from all over the world. It has been burned down and restored in the past and is considered to be one of the best places to visit.
Wow, that sure is something really amazing!
Tour Eiffel
As always whenever i visit Paris, i must always go see the tower effel, c pity it is not ranked among the 7 wonders of the world to really visit especially the night ohh my god that it is beautiful! It is wonderfully unavoidable!
I was in Paris just a couple of weeks ago for a short while with a very low expectations to be honest since I have read some bad reviews. What a nice surprise it was. I loved it and I am sure I will be back. Great image!
I am very happy to hear that..thanks Tomas!
