Hello Nature Lovers !

I would like to cordially invite you to another great week of the Amazing Nature Contest. There were already so many excellent entries regarding how amazing nature can be in the past episodes and there is still so much more to see ^^ .. To participate in #amazingnature just create a post that shows how amazing nature is for you personally. This can be anything from a beautiful flower or animal to an astonishing sunset.

What is the Purpose of the Contest ?

I am a huge lover of nature and really enjoy to take pictures of all the lovely things that surround me every day, no matter if those are plants, animals or landscapes. I found Steemit to be a brilliant place to find and watch nature pictures from all over the world. There is such a diversity of great content out there, thanks to all of you, from different perspectives and out of various motivations. I would like to collect all those beautiful snapshots and their amazing stories in a weekly compilation so that you can all benefit from the beauty that we are facing all the time, but so often are not able to appreciate in the modern times we are living in.

As this is a proper contest be so kind and follow those simple contest rules. Otherwise, to stay fair to those who do, I have to disqualify you from the winning places !

• Use #amazingnature as FIRST TAG and topic of the post and CLEARLY MENTION that your post is an ENTRY for this contest. This assures that this contest can grow and reach out to as many nature lovers as possible.

• Clearly STATE why those pictures are representing YOUR AMAZING NATURE. This is an essential part of this contest.
• Drop the LINK to your post IN THE COMMENTS below so all participants can find it easily and fully enjoy this weekly collection. You can add a picture if you like.
• Please submit only one post per contest. Of course you can do more, but I will stick to one entry per Steemian.

THIS WEEKS WINNERS

---

The winner of this weeks Amazing Nature contest is @joebtc. Also he is here with us on Steemit from January 2018, he first introduced his self with his Introduce Yourself post just a few days ago. He describes himself as a person that found that the body and the soul can best recover in nature and with his blog he would like to guide us through the beauty of nature and also show us how to prepare delicious food outside with little effort. While trying to bring us closer to nature he seems to be the perfect fit for our little Amazing Nature community, so please let us all welcome this great Bushcrafter, Traveler and Nature-Cook. In his entry he shows us some of the pictures that he was taking during his last trip to Thailand, where he spend two months traveling and visiting many cities and places. Those pictures are actually all amazing and it was sooooo hard for me to decide one that I can show to you. But in the end I chose this one here, which shows him with his son by this elephant. I am sure that we can expect great and amazing nature content from this Steemian, so we should all try to support him to find his way into our little community ^^

We have a whole beautiful photographic walk here by @bucipuci which the did on a sunny day in the Czech Republic. With quiet respect he went through nature to capture some nice water droplet motives during autumn. I choose to show to you this spider web which leaves an even intensified impression while covered by water droplets.

One of the longest sea beaches in the world is found in the sands along the coast at Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh. Here we have some pictures from @kamrunnahar that he took for our contest when he was traveled to some beach related places to see the beauty of the nature. They were taken at evening time while the sky was cloudy and only some minor sunlight was reflected by the trees. You can evens spot a little boat in the middle of the motive and some electric lines beside the pathway. Those trees are protecting the sea beach for already such a long time and @kamrunnahar really enjoyed this view that was so refreshing to his mind.

Last but not least I would like to feature to you @micma007. Similar to @joetbc he already joined Steem in January 2018, but published his first introduction only 5 days ago. He is also a nature lover and bushcrafter that likes to be far out in the untouched nature for biwak. Let us be surprised what he will be offering us in the future.
