7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #18 – winner announcement!
@vinceboisgard Asian Sunday entry:
The majestic Taj-Mahal made of white marble. Build for a princess and unfortunately used as a tomb where she sleeps for ever. The roof is made of Star Diopside Gems that shine like stars when the moon is full. This is a magnificent place to see and visit.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #18 – winner announcement!
@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:
Here's something from famous Milford Sound for you. I travelled New Zealand's South Island back a few years ago and at first I was a bit sceptical as to, if this location could live up to all the hype around it. But it didn't dissapoint. Milford Sound is one of the most spectacular locations I have ever visited. The drive there alone was already worth the visit. Then I even got lucky with this sunset.

@easycome Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans entry:
Every year, like for 3 years, I draw lots with my girlfriend to see which place to visit in September/October, it's like our vacation trip. But occasionally we do getaways, in Europe to do it with low-cost companies is very economic and easy, which if it is true that I never thought that Iceland was a country that gave so much of itself. Has everything, and very freezing too! From now on, in order to give more truthfulness to the photos, I will tell you the parameters used when taking the picture, so that there are less confusions.So... The Parameters used were: 14mm | f/16 | 15s | ISO 100
Camera: Fujifilm X-E2

@tbarett African Wednesday entry:
I got the chance to go on a safari in Tanzania. We were driving along and suddenly a herd of wild African Elephants came towards us. One of the little ones got a bit itchy I suppose, and came to start rubbing on the log in front of our vehicle. Looks like he's posing for the camera!

Beautiful golden-sand beach surrounded by lush tropical vegetation at Punta Uva, Costa Rica. It is a short bike ride from Puerto Viejo, one of the most popular tourist towns on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, but as you can see in the photo, the beaches at Punta Uva are far from crowded.
Puerto Viejo is a coastal town in Limon Province in southeastern Costa Rica. It is a popular tourist destination also known in the surfing community for the biggest and most powerful waves in Costa Rica. The beaches are so beautiful and surrounded by jungle. Puerto Viejo also has some really interesting and unique (weird) bars and restaurants.
Thank you so much for your great contribution. Tomas
very beautiful, whare it is??
La Paz with the mighty Illimani in the background. I went to this viewpoint in El Alto for sunset and stayed just until the city lights began to illuminate the city below. With the blue sky of the blue hour above this created a beautiful color contrast. After taking the photo it was a long 75 minute taxi drive through rush hour back to hour hotel. But it was worth it.
Wow amazing photo!!
Stunning shot again! Did you miss the teleferico back to the city? Could be less than 75min by 🚕 ?
No we went by taxi because I found the way from this viewpoint back to the teleferico a bit scetchy in the dark. I had way to expensive camera gear ;-) The taxi was worth it for the photo. But the streets where crammed in all directions down in La Paz
Holy moly.....
Brilliant , love it !
What a stunner!
I reached Torres del Paine National Park by boat through Rio Serrano, and after some hiking, I was stunned by this view at sunset - five elegant guanacos grazing at the altiplano steppe, with the magnificent snow mountains as the backdrop.
someday I gonna visit Patagonia too. It must have been awesome hiking through this landscape
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing.
When I was exploring the high plateau altiplano in the Andes with a 4x4 for some weeks I saw lots of wildlife like Llamas, wild donkeys and Vicunas...
Here is one of my favourite shots: not a classical wildlife closeup image but a panorama landscape image where the Vicuna fits nicely in.
The Vicuna was posing for me in the perfect position in front of this breathtaking landscape.

Haha, we both kept our promises...
Yes we have. Haha
Sounds like an amazing pace to visit! Thank you so much for sharing. Tomas
Last year when I was visiting Peru I made friends with an Italian traveler and when we headed to Cusco we took the tour to the rainbow mountains. It's a 7 hour round trip hike that tops out at 5300m above sea level and it rained the whole time but it cleared up for a few minutes and I got this shot.
Lake Pehoé - Torres de Paine - Chile
This is one of the most beautiful lakes I have seen in my life. We were very lucky this day, because it was snowing just a few hours before and the mountain tops were completely covered in the clouds. Then this beautiful day with a blue sky opened up. Just magical!
Great pic! Thank you for joining the challenge. Tomas
Thank you for organizing the challenge! It has been wonderful to participate.
Morro do Pico, Fernando de Noronha, Brazil
The beautiful island of Fernando de Noronha, in the Northeast of Brazil, in the state of Pernambuco, has won several prizes for the best beach in the world. With a limit of visitors per day, the beaches are hidden paradises with a gigantic biodiversity and beautiful landscapes. The photo of the stars is in front of the Morro do Pico, the tallest spot on the island. It is possible to climb that rock!

Greetings lovers of photography like me, this is my participation in the Challenge of photography of the continents of the world - South American Saturday, this photograph is a creation on a trip that takes place in the archipelago of Los Roques, located at 176 km North of the city of Caracas- Venezuela is part of the Insular Territory Francisco de Miranda. A fascinating place of waters with blues and green degradations.
Great entry, thank you so much for sharing with everyone. Have a good one. Tomas
I captured this photo in the Magallanes Straits, outside of Puerto Natales, Chile.
I was blown away by the landforms of the area and spent the whole morning eagerly sketching the shapes as we cruised the waters.
Specifically, this cliff houses a colony of South American condors.
