@racheleecious Asian Sunday entry:
This was taken last year when we go to a trip in Albay, Philippines. This is the perfect coned shape volcano, the Mayon Volcano. I took this picture because of the perfect reflection of its image in the ricefield with water. This volcano explodes last January 2018. Mayon is the one of the many tourist destination here in the Philippines.

@akirachang Australian Monday entry:
I took this photo at Brisbane story bridge. It is a heritage-listed steel cantilever bridge connecting northern and southern Brisbane. At night, the bridge's purple lights lit up half of the Brisbane river into a deep purple colour. Conjunction with the building light beside, It makes a great contrast at night. A really unique scenery in Brisbane Australia.

Morning on Praia do Pinhao in Lagos, Portugal. I wasn't sure I need to get off the bed that rainy morning and drive 30 km to this beach, but I glad I did it. A thin line of clear sky appeared on the horizon just in time to show let the rising sun enlighten everything around.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #24 – winner announcement!
@fjorenca African Wednesday entry:
This picture was taken at sunset in the Erg Chebbi dunes of Morocco. Our caravan stopped to enjoy the color transformations of the desert. Even my camel seemed to be admiring the sunset. I asked our berber guide if he ever gets sick of this view. He said "The desert is my home; this is where I feel that I belong."

Dresden by night
Just came home from work. But can't miss todays contest before bedtime.
Dresden as mentioned before is a wonderful city to visit. Old buildings, great history, a lot to explore and the river Elbe of course. You see the opera house by night in that shot. We didn't see a play inside but booked a guided tour which tells a lot about the history, different plays/operas and fun facts about the building.
Have a great night!
You do have a great collection of images from Dresden!
Thanks Tomas:) Yes indeed but it takes more and more time to get through all the saved images and pick out the gems.
Hallstatt, Austria. Coming down from the Salzburg mountain behind the town, you can follow a winding path down the mountain side and gives you an incredible view of Lake Hallstatt, and the Hallstatt township down below. It's pretty cool to see the town from above like this, as if it is perching against the side of the mountain, and the tiny sharp roofs make the houses look like toy buildings.
What a scenery! Absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us!
The Ardila river is one of the natural borders between the two Iberian countries, Portugal and Spain, more precisely, between the regions of the lower Alentejo (south of Portugal) and Andalusia (southern Spain). This photo was taken from the top of the walls of an abandoned castle, on the portuguese side.
Thanks ever so much for your fabulous contribution. Absolutely stunning views!
Thanks Tomas :) Cheers!
Beautiful St. Wolfgang at the Wolfgangsee in Austria. Above it thrones the imposing Schafberg whichs snowy mountain top reflects a bright moon that iluminates uprising storm Clouds. The storm meant even deeper snow and it was a real hassle to get through it.
Looks little spooky:)
A friend of mine walking right on the edge of a canyon cliff over the gorgeous sunset scenery from Iceland in the background. This photo is an inspiration to explore more and live new adventure, looking at it makes me want to jump back in a plane :)
Enjoy...
Location: Iceland.
Thanks ever so much for your submission! What an image!
You are most welcome, thanks to you for the support you give to the all of us :)
This is a photo taken in Russia, specifically in the red square of Moscow, where it is shown to the Cathedral of St. Basil, at night it looks much more spectacular than in the day, this is a very famous cathedral, mostly because of its domes in the shape of a bulb, for us tourists. But without a doubt it is a very beautiful place.
Thank you so much for your contribution! Great entry, fabulous image!
thank you very much!
Northern Lights brighten the night at Dverghamrar, Iceland. One of the best displays of Aurora that I've ever seen: the motion was incredible. I spent all night driving and stopping in different places, eventually ending up at Jökulsárlón.
Wow! that is amazing! The trees on a photo from Iceland! )
Thank you! Haha! Yes! These are the only seven trees to be found on the island!
(Kidding - there are actually a lot of trees, you just don't see them grouped up very often).
I hope one day I will be able to experience this myself not only through your images:)....
I sure hope so! It's well worth the effort. Of course it won't be as colourful as this because the camera can expose for a longer time than the eye, but the motion will blow you away if you see a good display like this!
amazing picture!! you had so many beautiful aurora pictures :)
Thank you! I got a whole bunch that one night. :)
The arabic Alhambra Palace in Granada in Spain is one of the most-visited tourist attractions in Europe. It was build more than 1000 years ago. The architecture is really breathtaking with beautifully crafted fountains and pillars...
What a magnificent place! Great sharing!

Thanks! Direct deliveries from glacier!
Wow! Just beautiful!
Thank you Tomas!
Last Year I went to the Baltic Sea in East Germany and visited this monumental, colossal Nazi-planned Building at Prora.
The enourmous building complex is 4.5 kilometers (2.8 mi) in length, and was built around 1936. It was called Strength Through Joy (Kraft durch Freude or Kdf) project.
The eight identical buildings were planned as a holiday beach resort, they were never used for this purpose. The complex is an example of Third Reich architecture.
Designed by Clemens Klotz, who won a design competition overseen by Adolf Hitler's chief architect Albert Speer, all rooms were planned to overlook the beach. There were communal toilets, showers and bathrooms on each floor.
