On the photo below you can see one of many amazing USA State Parks. This one is located in Utah and I have visited it on my first trip to USA in 2014. There is a funny anecdote from this year’s Utah visit, when we also planned to visit it, but then we realized just few miles before the park, that we don’t have enough fuel and turn around. We came back to Moab’s gas station with fuel for only 4 miles left. So it was a smart decision at the end.

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.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - European Thursday week #37 - winner announcement!

@davedavis91 European Thursday entry:

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!

Known as Iglesia de Santiago Apostol in Spanish, this picturesque church is located on a small secluded square in Barrio de Santiago, a neighborhood in Merida, the largest city of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. The church was finished in 1637 and it is mostly famous for the beautiful belfry.

Nice. I love that white wash render look.

Thank you so much for your participation with this wonderful entry.

Majestic

The contrasting clouds create a nice degree of depth in this image along with superb lighting. Cathedral Rock is looking just marvelous as it brings peace, joy and wonderment to my spirit. I see this as nature giving us a visual treat to calm our busy minds. Sedona Arizona USA.

Amazing light !

Fantastic as always!

AthabascaFallsCanyon.jpg

It's not often you get a sense of stillness at Athabasca falls. This shot was taken last spring looking through the canyon downstream of the falls. The shoulder seasons are nice in places like Athabasca so one can experience them without the crowds. People fall into this canyon almost every year and most don't live to tell the tale.

What a tremendous place and beautiful image!

Thanks. Appreciate your kind support with the competition !

Photo of the famous Moraine Lake at the Valley of Ten Peaks located at Banff National Park, in Alberta, Canada. This National Park is very nice for its wonderful landscapes and wild life. This photo was taken in the month of June, and you can observed that there is a lot of snow and ice.

Nice. I am still to get to Moraine lake. This summer !

That looks pretty cold for June:)

Grand Canyon North Rim (Toroweap Overlook)
Most people just visiting the Grand Canyon Village, which is very crowded and offers some quiet nice views of the Canyon. But if you want to experience a real jaw-dropping moment, you have to go to the North Rim.
Here you can read how to get there.

Thank you so much for this wonderful entry. Tomas

So red. Even the water looks the same colour of the cliffs.

A classic view if you happen to be right in the heart of Manhattan and you look up to the sky... between other buildings stands the highest!

Here is the Empire State Building viewed through a gap between these smaller buildings :)

Location: Manhattan, USA.

It is a great city :)

Isn't it! The most legendary building of Manhattan.

New York is called by many nicknames. Its “city that never sleeps”, “concrete jungle where dreams are made of”, but probably most known nickname is “The Big Apple”. There are several theories where this nickname came from, but the most likely version is from the sports writer John J. Fitz Gerald, who wrote for The Morning Telegraph and who was first who called New York “The Big Apple” in 1920.
Ahoj!

NYC 9 02

It's such an amazing city.

Thanks ever so much for your wonderful entry. Have a great day. Tomas

This is a picture I took a couple of days ago in BC, Canada. It was somewhere along the Wetlands on the way from Golden to Fernie. I had seen these never ending trains a couple of times and I told my girlfriend that I would absolution love to get a good shot of one, so I made it my mission to find the best spot possible and I am super happy with the outcome!

How amazing is BC!

Thank you so much for your contribution. Have a great day. Tomas

Cenote Zaci in Valladolid, Mexico

In Yucatan, Cenotes are everywhere, even directly in the city center of Valladolid! This cenote is located in an open cave. Its cool waters are a favorite swimming spot of locals and tourists alike.

This looks like an amazing spot to explore.

It was amazing! Thanks for your comment!

Wonderful place and awesome image!

Time to go for a climb
Screen Shot 2018-06-08 at 8.21.50 am.png

Got to get up early as the days are short this time of year. Here in the Sierra Nevada of California, getting up early for a climb also helps you stay of of harm's way from the potential for afternoon showers. The alpine glow on the rocks makes it a bit more appealing as only a few minutes before it was very very cold. Time to go climb some of the worlds best granite!
