@jpphotography Asian Sunday entry:
Streets of Bangkok
Bangkok was my last destination before returning home after 18 months of travelling. The busy city that has so many faces was a fascination place to visit. This shot taken from a bridge connecting two of Bangkok's major shopping malls captures the traffic in the large city.

@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:
I love Australia. In 2016 I had the pleasure to travel along Australia's east coast for five weeks and stopped at many wonderful places. This photo here was taken at Fingal Head south of Brisbane. Those interlocking basalt columns look great with the sea rushing around them. Then I was also very lucky with the light that morning. The glowing sky was the icing on the cake.
@bluebottlefilms Tuesday of Antarctica and the world’s oceans entry:
Upon arrival into the Antarctic Peninsula we watched this large iceberg pass by. The beauty of the Antarctic landscape is mind blowing and on every minute of the trip you are overwhelmed by your surroundings.
7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #15 – winner announcement!
@narchuk African Wednesday entry:
Africa is not only sands and palm trees. There are several best dive sites in the world. One of them is located in Sudan. Clear water. A lot of marine life. And huge caves and caverns, where you can see resting sharks.
7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – European Thursday week #15 – winner announcement!
@skiesandsports European Thursday entry:
Wast Water at Sunrise
This is one of my favourite ever landscapes, of a place that really is special to me. My wife and I found it by accident on our honeymoon in 2012, we searched for years after that but couldn't find the lake until this year! (It's in Cumbria, UK!)

So I decided to go more personal for this week's entry. This is from my hometown of Grafton, Wisconsin. This is the Milwaukee River right next to the Grafton Dam. I took this photo a few weeks ago when I went to visit my parents for the holidays. What you can't see from the photo is that it was 25 degrees with a wind chill (and very strong wind) making it feel like 15 degrees. It took a few times to make the long exposure work because the wind shook my phone a few times ruining the shot. But I got it!
I would have never guessed that this photo was taken with a phone! How do you take long exposures with your smartphone, is there an App for that that stacks multiple photos into a long exposure?
Crazy, right? I use the Slow Shutter app on my phone. I've had the app for at least two years but I've only recently really used it to its full potential. I set the exposure for about 10-15 seconds. The app works for motion blurs during the day and light trails at night. There's a reason this app is rated 5 stars in the app store!
I only got a new smartphone a few months ago and I am still amazed by how good the quality of smartphone cameras has become. I need to look if there is an app like that for Android, I have not found anything usable yet..
Thank you for your participation and submission. Due to a large amount of entries I will be picking other images to go further. Tomas
Lines and perspectives of this street shot form the Manhattan bridge. A mix between the old bricks buildings and the giant skyscrapers at the back. This perspective gives us a depth thought the square construction of Manhattan's map and so a view of the far cityscape.
Location: Lower Manhattan, New York.
Portland, Oregon
When we were in Porltand for a photography conference we wanted to explore it at night time! The city has a very similar climate to the UK, so we felt right at home! I love how the rain was reflecting all the night lights onto the road, such a great atmosphere!
Wow!!!!!.. very cool shot missy. are you shooting from a car?
Thanks!! No just very close to one !!
oh ok..that photo made me wanna go out and shoot :)...... thanks

I really like the tilt angle in your image, that's really cool.
Thanks, I normally hate tilts but for some reason I went for it on this one!!
nice work home guuurl!
Thank you :)
On my way to Staten Island
This picture of lower Manhattan was taken on a cloudy day back in November while I was on the ferry to Staten Island. It is worth noticing that some of the buildings, like the One World Trade Centre, are so high that are touching the clouds. To the right, you can see the Brooklyn Bridge too.
One of the most iconic and most-photographed places of Canada is Moraine Lake in Banff National Park in Alberta. Last year when Canada celebrated its 150th birthday I made a road trip to capture some of this beautiful country on camera.
Please visit my post to see more images of this stunning place: https://steemit.com/travel/@eaglest/come-with-me-and-see-the-beauty-of-west-canada
Lovely shot, the water just looks stunning!
Thank You. The color of this lake is really unique...
Big Island, Hawai'i
I snapped this photo of Kilauea on the Big Island of Hawaii. Spent all night to get a time lapse for my Documentary Time Well Spent Doc. Big Island holds a special part of my heart and my journey in filmmaking/photography. 11 of the 13 climate zones on one island makes it a pretty incredible place.
My entry
Dumbo Brooklyn bridge
This was the first click by my brother when he went to Newyork for Masters. Newyork has been has been a city of great opportunity for us. In this image scattered cloud on sunset I liked most with the great Brooklyn Bridge.
Grouse Mountain, Vancouver
Vancouver's mountains offer you amazing views, especially in winter when everything is covered with meters of snow. The city and the sea in the background add to this great scenery
Reflection of the Empire State on a pond. I was walking in Manhattan near this famous building, when I saw the reflection of this famous building on a pond of water recently formed on the street. At that moment I knew this was going to be an interesting photo. I share with you this photo today.
The Bean in Chicago
I was in Chicago for only a few days, as part of a trip from San Francisco to New York. I didn't expect much, but fell in love with Millennium Park. The Bean was my personal highlight. The reflection shows off the city and demands attention. Great piece of art!
Great editing! Very nice idea ;)
Thank you! :)
