Ten winning photos will receive an upvote from me from which I will pick one winner that will receive extended publicity in my post tomorrow morning.

The winner of daily challenge then competes against winners from other continental challenges of the respective week to receive the price of 15 SBD.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #5 – winner announcement!

@jon24jon24 entry post for Australian Monday is below:

Enjoying the view from the peak of Mount Beerwah (Glass House Mountain National Park). The hike is about 3-4 hours long. This included steep, strenuous climb with sheer rock faces. There is a danger zone of where rocks can fall at any time. One of the requirements of the hike was that you have to be fit and be able to climb at 50-70 degree slope. Children are not recommended to climb Mount Beerwah but we still saw children with their family hiking up this strenuous climb. All in all, if you go to Glass House Mountain National Park, you should definitely do the summit route because you have that amazing view at the end.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Tuesday of Antarctica and the world’s oceans week #5 – winner announcement!

@extremejogging entry for Tuesday of Antarctica and world's oceans:

I've had the priviledge to work on a number of secret military projects in my life. On one of them I found myself in a secret facility next to the Red Sea. Needless to say, at sunset after work, I went for countless snorkling sessions. The sea life in this area is incredible... I'll probably never get there again.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #5 – winner announcement!

@wachera African Wednesday entry:

Lake Turkana in Kenya, Africa, is the world's largest desert lake. The greater Turkana region is greatly unvisited, despite the fact it offers some of the most amazing experiences. Here's one of the sunrise shots I took. I promise it's more breathtaking when you see it in person 😁

here's shot of Pender Harbor, BC, Canada.

The date was October 4, 2018. 25 degrees C - unusually high for this time of year.

We were sitting on the deck, enjoying a cold beverage and the beauty of the moment came to me and it had to be captured.

This is looking to the entrance to the Harbor, which is does have some navigation obstacles for boaters. (I know, having come by boat, more than once)

Looking in the other direction, east, there is a small town with shops and stores to support the community as well as a couple of boutique hotels.

If you get a chance to visit "The Sunshine Coast" of BC, Canada, it is a beautiful place.

It was my second time visiting Bryce Canyon in 2016. Such a wonderful place with its unique red stone formations. Sitting close to the edge during sunset or sunrise, enjoying some delicious snacks and having a cold drink! Nothing more to wish for!

Everybody have a great weekend and thanks Tomas for continuing this contest!

Wow, simply stunning! Stay tuned for the winner announcement!

The Grand Canyon was listed as a world heritage site in 1979 years.The special landscape has been cut out for more than ten thousands years from the Colorado River.If you see carefully in the photo, the concave middle river is the Colorado River.The Colorado River was used to have plenty of water, so it could wash out the beautiful terrain.

This photo is the 2nd sunset of 2017. I was in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with a great group of friends and we chartered a boat for a sunset cruise on Jan 2nd. It really was the perfect way to end our New Years trip together.

Another amazing image! Thank you so much for participating and stay tuned for the winner announcement.

Here is on of Snoqualamie Falls, Snoqualamie Washington. It is a large waterfall around 30 miles east of Seattle. If you like a meal or room with a view there is a hotel and restaurant on the bank of the river just before the plunge.

Great image but short of word description as the requirement is 30 to 50 words. Thank you for sharing and stay tuned for the winner announcement.

Next time I won't skim the instructions. Thank you!

We always see the full version of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. But here is a close up. We only walked around 200 meters of the bridge due to the fact that it was freezing. Coming from Hawaii, this was the coldest I had been. Golden Gate Bridge is one of those structure in the world that you must see before you die.

Great entry, please stay tuned for the winner announcement. Tomas

This is how Havana (Cuba) looks from the top of some building. On one hand it is very colorful, on the other - quite dirty and poor. Cubans usually smile and seem happy, but I am not sure they are fully satisfied with their lives.

Wow the photos are really amazing. Good job for choosing the best one. ill join your contest soon!
