Hello fellow Steemians!

I am starting the week #34 of my 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge and we are back to the continent of Asia.

If you like to participate, place your personal image from your travels in Asia in the comment section below with a short 30 to 50 word description. Only use of personal images will be accepted and only one picture can be submitted for a daily photo challenge. Ten winning photos will receive a bigger upvote from me and ten runners-up will get a smaller one.

Chosen from the ten winning entries, the absolute winner of the day will receive extended publicity in my post tomorrow morning. I will also visit his/her blog to upvote one of the most recent posts. The winning picture of the daily challenge will then automatically enter other rounds with the absolute winner gaining approximately 200 SBD in total. So far I have given out thousands of dollars in upvotes and hundreds of SBD in rewards.

After today´s Asian photo contest, the 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge will be followed as per below rotation and then starting again with Asia on next Sunday.

Last summer I had the chance to travel to Israel and Jordan. One place I was lucky enough to visit was the ancient fortress of Masada overlooking the Dead Sea. Masada is an ancient fortress in southern Israel built on top of a plateau overlooking the Dead Sea. You can actually hike up here but if you're doing it in summer, you need to start early because temperatures soar about 40 degrees Celsius. When you're standing up here, it's clear why this spot was chosen as a fortress and stronghold because soldiers could see for miles in each direction for any potential invaders. And yes, that tiny strip of blue in the background is the Dead Sea where I went to float right after this photo!

Place on the photo is famous Mount Bromo in Indonesia. Locals call it Gunung Bromo and this volcano is one of top Indonesia’s attractions as it offers amazing scenery.
Tip: wake up early and be there at sunrise – well worth getting up!

Hello everybody. This shot i took in Malaysia at Kuala Lumpur and at picture you can see Petronas Towers witch was the tallest building on the world till 2004. There is 88 floors. Petronas Twin Towers is the tallest twin building /structure by max height at 452 m (1,483 ft).


That building will never stop fascinating me. Truly amazing.

This picture was taken from Victoria Peak, the most popular lookout point of Hong Kong. Most tourists just walk up the Peak Tower to enjoy the famous view of the skyscrapers. But there is a path along the cliffs, that leads to other spectacular viewpoints, where you can see also Lantau Island and some other small islands!

Tea Plantation in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia

The Cameron Highlands in Malaysia are an amazing destination. I met a few other backpackers in the hostel and together we explored the giant tea plantations and hiked in the misty forests.

This looks pristine! Fantastic image as well.

Tea plantations offer great possibilities for photography and you definitely took advantage of it. Well done!

Tea plantations are awesome! Thanks for your comment :)

Ancient town Khiva in Uzbekistan.
According to the legends Khiva was founded by a son of Noah and According to the archeologists Khiva was founded in the 5th or 4th centuries B.C. Khiva was located on the crossroad of The Great Silk Road as an important post that connected two powerful lands, China And Rome.

This photo was taken from the one of minarets at the historic center of Khiva.

The Railay Beach in Southern Thailand

I visited the Railay Beach view years ago and I can tell you, this location is just amazing. The beautiful Railay Beach is one of the most famous beach destination in Southern Thailand and only accessible by boat. The beach is located between the cities of Krabi and Ao Nang.
This is my entry for the Asian Sunday.

Tremendous place, beautiful image. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us.

in this entry I will share pictures of fishing activities in the sea from my city at sunset.
yes ... Aceh, the westernmost part of the island of Sumatra holds a myriad of natural charms that are very beautiful, in addition to natural areas, Aceh is also famous for its culinary and cultural, as well as religious diversity.
but this time I will share a little different scenery if you visit the Capital of Aceh or Banda Aceh.
if you visit Aceh should visit this one location, because the activity of sunset and fishing activities when catching fish in the sea is a sight that is always presented to the visitors.

Wow, truly amazing image! Thank you so much for that. Have a great day. Tomas

thanks apresiiasinya @czechglobalhosts , always happy to share


Fantastic sunset at Ajman, UAE while our trip last January. Stunning colors and clouds formations. Very long sea wave making perfect reflections on the sand. Nice cloud formations with pretty different colour contrast

Enjoy it!
