7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #15 - winner announcement!

@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.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Australian Monday week #15 - winner announcement!

@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.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Tuesday of Antarctica and the world’s oceans week #15 – winner announcement!

@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.

Tangier is a port city in northwest Morocco. After industry and trade, tourism is a major economic contributor to this city. This included a boom in seaside resorts. Although not pictured here, the most popular spot for tourists is the incredible Old City in the hills overlooking the city. I loved the Old City, but seeing the ocean from a rooftop building was my favorite part of my visit.

Another epic picture! Have a great day Mat and stay tuned for the winner announcement post coming shortly. Tomas

Here's another photo from the Seychelles, this time showing Anse Severe in the north of La Digue. This little island is really a dream, which is why I'll return in two months. It's only 6km across and there are no cars besides some local taxis. You either walk or take the bike.

Wow, this looks like a painting. Love the colors and the composition! :) Helen

Yet another amazing image from your gallery! Simply beautiful.


Taken from top desk of cruise ship while travelling up the Nile from Luxor to Aswan.
Somehow all evenings during our trip were pretty colourful. Just wondering if that's during December only...

Golden hour and sun's flare through the palms growing at Nile's coastline. Shot with long tele-photo lens

Enjoy the scenery :)

like palms on fire! Amazing shot :)

Thank you for you continued participation. Have a great day. Tomas

Over this festive season my backyard was a remote farm about 20km from Calvinia, a tiny town in the Northern Cape of South Africa. This photo can't really capture the epicness I experienced... sitting in deathly silence after summiting the Keiskie Mountain.

That`s what you call a view!

There is a very changing landscape on the way from Marrakech to the east, to Sahara desert. It could be an inspiration for many,- an artist and soul seekers. The Atlas mountains are the most impressive feature of Morocco landscape. Terrain is beautifully changing and offers something for everyone, especially photographer.

Glad to see you back participating. Fabulous image. Have a great day and keep on steeming. Tomas

Thank you

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.
Sudan caves

Great photo and beautiful natural light! :) Helen

That looks amazing! I should get into diving too:)

Gosh, there are some really great photos around, you guys are really good! But I'm not giving up just yet!

Thought I'd post something different today, about my fellow little crabbie friends I'd made during my holiday in the Seychelles earlier last year. I had taken shelter underneath the trees on the beach and lo and behold there were hundreds of these little cuties.

awww so cute boy :)

Your pic is great too! What a capture. Have a great and stay tuned for the winner announcement coming out soon. Tomas

Awww you're too kind Tomas. I'm loving these challenges and will continue to submit my entries!

Nice contest - thanks for clarifying the rules in your recent post!

Here a photo from the North of Africa - Djerba / Tunisia. Getting behind the local people is much more interesting if you are open for this. I usually aim to discover hidden places or traditions when on vacation - stepping into spots the travel guides do not show you. Sometimes you discover pearls. I love that street view in Djerba with all its colours.

Oh, I see, you figured it out.... great! Thank you for your participation and great entry. The winner announcement will be coming in a separate post later on today. Tomas

This image shows a very colorful sunset on the beach Playa de Caleta of the Island "La Gomera". In the background you can see the vulcan Teide. La Gomera belongs geographically to Africa but politically to Spain.

Wow, what an epic picture! Stay tuned for the winner announcement coming soon. Have a great day. Tomas

Thank You.

I took this photo last year when I visited south Tunisia. The city name was Tozeur and it is one of the best cities in south Tunisia. Everything is different when you compare it to the north. The people, the food, the climate and the animals.
This was my first time to ride a camel, but found it a bit uncomfortable. On our way to the desert I was for two hours on the top of the camel and on our way back I was walking and following him back to the city :)
I felt very cold in the desert so our guide gave me his coat to wear. ( I dont know what to call it in English, but you know what I mean )
As you see in the photo the camel was a bit confused if I was a female or a male and smelling my clothes lol

Look like a great experience! Thank you so much for your entry and participation. Stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on. Tomas.

Yes it was a good experience. I saw this contest some days ago, but always missed the African day :) I think yesterday I got it right! Thank you :)

If I wanted to participate - do I post the photo in the comments for that region. E.g. NA Friday? Thanks!

Yes, that is correct. Kindly follow the instructions at the bottom of my posts. Have a great day. Hope to see your entry soon. Tomas

Hi mate from one of the best countries in Europe! Question -- what are the rules of the submission, doing a post and put link here? Or adding a photo just here with description?

Hi! All the conditions are at the bottom of the post. But yes, you add your image with the word description of 30 to 50 words in the comment section for the particular continent of the day. Hope to see your entry at some point. Thank you and have a great day steeming away. Tomas

All the places you have been looks absolutely beautiful!!! I have never been to Africa but looking forward to joining your contest one day soon. :D How I'd you like Bangkok by the way?

Personally I have not been to Bangkok yet but a lot of photographers participating in my contests have... It sure is on my list of places to go to:)..... Hope to see your entry soon... Your Instagram profile looks amazing:).....

Please let me know if you ever visit !! :) Thank you !! Hit me up on IG anytime !!

G’day fellow Steemians! Here’s my entry for African Wednesday: https://steemit.com/cn/@itchyfeetdonica/14-african-wednesday-hamar-girls-at-a-local-market

Hello, in order to qualify kindly enter our image with your description of 30 to 50 words in the comment section, not separate. Unfortunately, I will not be able to consider your entry at this time. Kindly do at your next submission. Thank you for your understanding. Have a great day. Tomas

Oops...sorry that I didn’t notice that rule. I just submitted my new entry for the European Thursday one. Hope that’s qualified? And I noticed that most photos selected before are landscape ones, a few are cityscapes. Are these types preferred? What about portraits of locals on a street? Thanks Tomas! =)

This was by far the best trip I have been on!!! Safari is amazing. I was lucky enough to visit both Kenya and Tanzania.
We loved it! I went with my family for 4 days and 3 nights and it was fantastic!
I could have written so much more, but I'm sure everyone reading this is getting bored :/

In short, if you are going on Safari in Tanzania and want the best experience possible. I would recommend you to hire any guide there.

This Picture was taken when a Maasai girl was walking for water on a path though the rolling hills of Tanzania

Thank you so much for your participation but I did pick other entries to go further at this time. Have a great day. Tomas

This photo is from African desert Sahara in Tunisia. Man riding a camel in the desert. Other camels are following him. They organise short camel trips through the desert for tourists. It was beautiful experience. 20161031_092715.jpg

It's been many years ago but I do vaguely remember seeing desert sands like this in Algeria while going to Djanet with my family as a kid- Djanet is a UN heritage site where Paleolithic Art is depicted in caves. Truly Amazing
