However, the winner is only one and that is for me picture posted by @eaglest with the following entry:

I took this image on the Island "El Hierro" which is located about 500km west of Africa. In the ancient world "El Hierro" was considered as western end of the world. On his second voyage Christoph Columbus started from here into the new world.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #16 - winner announcement!

@narchuk Asian Sunday entry:

It happened in Thailand, in the Andaman Sea. At the very end of the dive I saw a sea turtle. She swam from coral to coral and did not notice my presence. Turtles are very calm, if you do not touch them. I swam next to her doing a frame-by-frame. At some point a flock of small fish swept past us. It lasted just a couple of seconds. I managed to make only one photo.

Stormy night over Darwin, this is a view from Nightcliff rocky beach if a thunder storm striking Darwin in the Northern territory of Australia. There nothing quite like it, I found it amazing to watch a bit like a firework.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans week #16 – winner announcement!

@dmytrokorol Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans entry:

When I first met the Ocean
We had been driving out of Lisbon to the south when the road led us to the coast. And I saw the ocean. And the setting sun. The colors were so beautiful! We stopped at the first place we had found I grabbed my gear and ran to the beach. Lucky me! It was Praia da Sines with these beautiful wooden stairs and the stones on the sandy beach. The first meeting was gorgeous. I knew there is more to come.

Thanks for sharing these stunning photos. They're very relaxing. I especially like the underwater photo of the sea turtle and the school of fish. I think it's one of the hardest shots to take.

Thank you very much for great opportunity. Such a nice contest. Thank you also for choosing my photo between winners. All the best :)

Well deserved! You ROCK!

Thanks for your feedback.I am really surprised for your good complement to me.I am waiting for your next content my dear friend@czechglobalhosts

I just want to point out technically there are 8 continents.
Zealandia is the 8th one google it to believe.
So I guess you should add photos from there too. That would mean photos from Zealand and New Caledonia. 😋

I have New Zealand included in the challenge under Australian Mondays in order not to exclude anyone. Tomas

Awesome....
I love the posts! 👍😊
Have nice one guys

Behavior like this will not be tolerated neither on my blog or anywhere else on Steemit. I will flag you if I see this happening again. Tomas
