@rinawonderlans Asian Sunday entry:
I woke up to see a sunrise,and luckily there is also a little rainbow over the sky, which is rare to see here. It's beautiful eventhought it's not a full one. The colorful sky, give a reflection color to the sea and sand. I took this pretty picture in Candidasa beach, a relaxed spot on the east Bali where you could snorkel.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #19 – winner announcement!
@vinceboisgard Australian Monday entry:
Queenstown is a cute little town located on the south island of New Zealand. It build on the raffle of a gigantic lake and surrounded by the mountains. Here is a capture I shot while wandering around the lake. This man was sitting on the small pierre, chilling by the water under the branches of the tree. I wasn't going to Disturbed, so I waited patiently for him to stand up and leave!

@intrepidphotos Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans entry:
Sometimes, if only for a moment, time seems to stand still. It’s amazing to think that 91% of the iceberg is hidden under the water. Iceberg floating of the coast of South East Alaska. It’s a single hand held exposure taken from a moving boat.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday #19 – winner announcement!
@mibreit-photo African Wednesday entry:
This is maybe the most photographed rock on La Digue. It looks like the back of an ancient animal in the sand of Anse Source D'Argent. It was really peaceful there in the evening when most of the day visitors left and people went off for dinner. If you don't fear the huge crabs that roam the beach and rocks after sunset, it's worth to stay :-)

I shot this one in the village of Kinderdijk in the south of the Netherlands. This place is best known for its 19 iconic 18th-century windmills. I waited till sunset when everything was closed, and this beautiful waterway and the windmills were bathing in the golden rays.

The Gran Teatro de La Habana is located in the Paseo del Prado in Havana, Cuba. Its facilities include theatres, a concert hall and conference rooms. We did not go into this beautiful building, but the exterior was intricate and well restored.
Thank you so much for your participation. Have a great day. Tomas
Looking down at the 15th-century Inca citadel Machu Picchu, from the precipitous heights of Huayna Picchu. The peak of Huayna Picchu is about 2,720 metres (8,920 ft) above sea level, or about 360 metres (1,180 ft) higher than Machu Picchu. The only access is via approximately 2,100 slippery eroded stair steps from Machu Picchu that were carved into the side of the mountain over 500 years ago.

Is this from a helicopter?
No I hiked up there to the next mountain.
Oh - wow! :O
What a stunning image as well as great effort to hike the mountaing next to it to get this image. Well done!
Thanks !
I like to travel independently, but in places like Southern Bolivia an organized tour is the best way to go, so I booked a 4-day jeep tour crossing the Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve of Andean Fauna. These four days were definitely upon the most amazing in my travels!

Beautiful. Those flamingo stars! ;) That region is definitely one of my favorites on the planet, so wild and otherworldly...
I loved it there, want to go back!
What a great image!
To get this shot of the colorful Andes in Peru, I had to get up at 3am and trekked in the thin air and ever-changing weather for a whole day. But it’s totally worth the effort, especially when I reached the 5,200-meter peak - look at the stunning view! :D
@czechglobalhosts , the photos of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, are they supposed to be submitted in the North or South America challenge? And countries like Russia, Turkey, etc., in the Asia or Europe one? Thanks! :)
Good question @itchyfeetdonica. I was wondering that myself. Beautiful picture btw!
=)
I think we have a winner. Amazing!
Thanks @keysa!
The colours are so beautiful!
Hi, thank you for your question. Geographically Central America is part of the North American Continent and Russia and Turkey belonging to Europe.
Bolivia for me is South America’s most underrated country. It combines amazing indigenous cultures, wildlife-filled Amazon Rainforest, snow-capped Andean peaks, and stunning desert all in one country. This photo shows just how colorful and breathtakingly beautiful the country is: a turquoise lake with colorful vegetation, an endless desert and large mountain tops all in one.
I really like the color of the lake bed! Is it natural colour of the rock or from moss on the rock?
The lake bed contains a lot of different vegetation, in front you see mostly moss :)
Stunning image, thank you so much for sharing. Tomas
Pajuçara Beach - Brazil
This beach is in Maceió, the capital of the state of Alagoas, in Brazil. It has calm and warm waters. These boats are called "jangada", and you can rent them out to take you to some natural pools, about 1 km away from the coast.I've been invited to Córdoba, Argentina by three friends. I had no expectations. Arriving there i was surprised how many beautiful spots this city has to offer. Like in this picture the clash between modern architecture and an old brick building which ive shot in the afternoon, sun setting.
Beautiful image, thank you so much for sharing. Tomas
"San Antonio del Golfo" is a beautiful town located in Sucre State - Venezuela. I love traveling to that place for its beautiful sunsets. It is a warm place with typical Venezuelan gastronomy and crafts.
This is the view of the Atacama Desert near San Pedro de Atacama before sunrise. In the distance you can see the mighty Licancabur Volcano. The white patches in the center of the frame are evaporated salt. Since it doesn't rain very often in this area, this salt turns into a white crust on the surface.
Stunning image! Thank you so much for your participation. Tomas
Greeting this is my entry to 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - South American Saturday #19 this picture was created in a key called horseshoe belonging to the Island the Turtle federal dependency of Venezuela, with an area of 0.41 km2 it is a fascinating place with crystal clear waters and where you can appreciate beautiful sunsets like the one I show you as additional data this picture was taken with my Smartphones ZTE Z5S (because my husband forgot to take the camera)
