7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #24 – winner announcement!
@racheleecious Asian Sunday entry:
This was taken last year when we go to a trip in Albay, Philippines. This is the perfect coned shape volcano, the Mayon Volcano. I took this picture because of the perfect reflection of its image in the ricefield with water. This volcano explodes last January 2018. Mayon is the one of the many tourist destination here in the Philippines.

@akirachang Australian Monday entry:
I took this photo at Brisbane story bridge. It is a heritage-listed steel cantilever bridge connecting northern and southern Brisbane. At night, the bridge's purple lights lit up half of the Brisbane river into a deep purple colour. Conjunction with the building light beside, It makes a great contrast at night. A really unique scenery in Brisbane Australia.

@dmytrokorol Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:
Morning on Praia do Pinhao in Lagos, Portugal. I wasn't sure I need to get off the bed that rainy morning and drive 30 km to this beach, but I glad I did it. A thin line of clear sky appeared on the horizon just in time to show let the rising sun enlighten everything around.

The largest and most famous sphinx - the Great Sphinx of Giza, situated on the Giza Plateau adjacent to the Great Pyramids of Giza on the west bank of the Nile River and facing east. The sphinx is located southeast of the pyramids. Although the date of its construction is uncertain, the head of the Great Sphinx now is believed to bear the likeness of the pharaoh Khafra.
Enjoy the scenery :)

That looks magnificent!
It was during my first visit to Egypt that we hopped on some camels in order to visit the pyramids in proper fashion. After an hour or so of humping around the Sahara from pyramid to pyramid and the sphinx, we headed back through the open sands. Another group was passing through right under the setting sun. I knew this would be a great shot, but I only had seconds to grab it until the caravan went too far, and trying to take pictures while the camel below you is lurching back and forth was quite difficult! I only got 2 frames, and this is my favorite shot from that camel journey.
Taken 1km from the pyramids in Cairo - Egypt.
Awesome moment captured!!
Thanks! Yeah it was quite difficult, as anyone who has ridden a camel knows how much they lumber back and forth, its hard to stay stable on their back :)
I know exactly what you mean. I explored the pyramids on camel back aswell was very hard to get a good shot.
What an experience! Great entry.
This picture was taken at sunset in the Erg Chebbi dunes of Morocco. Our caravan stopped to enjoy the color transformations of the desert. Even my camel seemed to be admiring the sunset. I asked our berber guide if he ever gets sick of this view. He said "The desert is my home; this is where I feel that I belong."
Great photo! Very creative with the camel as foreground...
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful image!
Early this year i got to explore the great pyramids of Giza on camel back. Here is a picture of the camel i rode, his name was Alex. This was such an amazing was to see the pyramids and after the camel ride i sure did walk like an Egyptian ☺
There is nothing better than exploring a remote trail or mountain in the beautiful South Africa! This so-called "block-house" on the horison were erected during the Boer War as a lookout and guard post for the Boers against the British Empire around 1900.
Long time no see, hope all is well Jaco....
Hi Tomas. Indeed... It's been a crazy busy time at work. Don't worry, I've not forgotten about you and your awesome contests. ;)
Djibouti is not the most tourist country in the world. But not for fans of the underwater world. Each year, from October to December, several dozen whale sharks come to the Tadzhura Bay. Perhaps, this is the only place on the planet where you can safely swim with whale sharks, without their feeding.
Ah what a dream photo! And that's good to know - I have avoided swimming with whale sharks in Asia exactly for that reason.
You must have some guts to do that:)....
Whilst cleaning the fur of the younger ones from louses, this old chimpanzee named Poco got struck by a moment of contemplation. The last louse seemed to be mind blowing delicious and left him in this state for a while.
Read his full story on.

In this picture you can see an African family. The picture was taken from an Africa trip in 2008. We met this family when we were on our way from the north of Benin back to our home in the south. On the way I was with my family. Benin is a small country in West Africa.
The funny thing is that we drove for hours through virtually uninhabited land and then suddenly out of nowhere this family appeared.

Beautiful. I miss Africa everyday.
Views of Cape Town in South Africa from the mountains overlooking the city. The mountains were amazing and there was so much to do in the city and was able to complete a bucket-list item of swimming with sharks.
Incredible views!
I took this picture over the summer while I was in Tanzania living with a Maasai tribe in their village. I was documenting humanitarian efforts of a local nonprofit. We were invited to be part of their celebrations. It truly was an amazing experience to be part of something that less than one percent of people that travel to Africa are able to be a part of.
What an experience that must have been!
I think about it every day and can not wait to go back and film my documentary.
Don't you just hate it when you're going for a jog and a zeal (or dazzle, who knew multiple zebras were called this?!?) of zebras block your path? Thankfully these lovely animals in Hluhluwe, South Africa, were quick to trot past and I continued my jog!
Since I have a lot of pictures from Africa and I like this one very much, I have to share it here. You are welcome to guess what this is about?! Yes it is exactly a gas station, we are also here again in Benin a small country in West Africa. Of course, there are also large gas stations, but these are the original and not to be replaced. Once the government wanted to ban these gas stations, but this has led to a total traffic chaos. And so the ban has made impossible. :D

My most beautiful travel experience ever. Going to South Africa. On safari, looking for the big 5. We were lucky to see them all.This one of them, the leopard. We spotted this lovely animal in the Kruger National Park.
In Luxor, Egypt, we can cross the river to visit the valley of the Kings and the valley of the Queens. On the road, we can see the Colossi of Memnon, 2 stone statues of more than 17 and 18m high respectally who are the sole survivor of the Amenhotep III temple.
Tunisia is a very small country with different cultures and different people. When you travel from north to south you feel that everything is different. The nature, the culture and the people. I am from north and when I visited south I felt the people were more friendly and welcoming. The food was healthier and delicious. The desert, the camels and the fresh dates! The perfect atmosphere for a person who was born and lived in the city..JPG)
Beautiful theme and especially pictures
Beautifull challange all pictures are very beaitifull dear I really enjoy your competition
Wow its really beautiful and amazing photography i like it. Such a great shoot sir. I appreciate you. Wish you avery happy and bright future.
Hey!
I´m new here and just found your blog :) nice work!
I´m getting started with my block as well, at the moment there is just my Introduction, but I will post my first article today.
I just started writing and do not have much experience..
Do you have any tips for me? Especially for getting a few people to read my blog and see my photography.
Thank you, would be great to get an answer and to get in touch with you :)
Hello @ czechglobalhosts , this is such a lovely sight. You captured every moment very well. i still remember few details about the pulangbato;
Pulangbato Falls is located in the Ocoy Valley in the town of Valencia Negros OrientalIt is aptly named so because of the waterfall’s seemingly red river water which is caused by the presence of natural reddish rocks found in the area. Pula is the native word for red while bato, for rock. Thus, if interpreted, the name would be red rock just as you have described.
Like many other waterfalls, swimming lagoons and pools in the town of Valencia, Pulangbato Falls is blessed with calm and refreshing waters. This is mainly because of Valencia’s geography – 60% of its land composition being hilly and mountainous – that the climatic temperature is always moderate to cool.
Pulangbato Falls has a wide cascade. The water pours down into a swimming hole that is also deep enough for high dives. Enthusiasts clamber up to a nearby rock that functions as a diving point and free fall into the water basin. The shape of Pulangbato Falls has been considered unique because of its layered structure. At the first tier, the cascade begins narrowly and widens progressively as it moves down the next levels. At a distance, the waterfalls look triangular in shape
is it a photo of your own work?
That's really cool shot..
the photo of the lion, I am very shocking, this animal as they say the King, represents very well his role in the jungle.
wao so beautiful....great shot sir
I hope to get one good photo to be able to follow this contest. are photos outside of Africa possible?
There is a contest for each continent, every day of the week...so, depending on where your photo was taken, you can enter it on the contest for that continent :)
Thank you for taking some initiative:)....
Your web log is thus wondrous for the information regarding travel and tours. it is also terribly excellent for the photography challenge.
great effort sir thanks for sharing amazing wild pic stay blessed.
That's a very good one from you. These are very nice pictures
wow
I was not following such competition earlier, that's why asking. Which day of week is for middle east?
And must to admit, selected pictures are just mind blowing.
Wilde Life Photography @sir Just amazing :):):)
This was taken at Ile de Sarpant in Dakar, Senegal–one of the many islands in Senegal surrounded by rocky mountains. We just finished a hike to the hightest top of the mountain. I sighted a couple standing at the edge of the cliff taking in the scenery and wanted to capture that moment. This image was shot and edited on my iPhone.
