See the winner of the last week´s African Wednesday @dali-gis with the following entry:

Sahrara Douz Tunisia. A visit to the Sahara Desert is an experience that everyone should have at least once in their life. It's a trip worth the effort, you'll have good memories to last forever. Imagine yourself at the top of a camel trekking in the Sahara Desert. There is nothing around you, and all you can hear are the tracks of the camel on the soft sand. The sky is vast and clear in the day and filled with millions of bright stars at night.

Sunset in New Zealand. This pebble beach was located just a stones throw from the campground I was staying at. The sunset from this beach on New Zealand's South Island is among the most beautiful that I have ever seen.

The wonderful Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. You can visit the waterfalls either from the Zambian side or from Zimbabwe. If you go to Zambia, you are on top of the plateau, where the water from the Zambesi drops down. Here you can swim in the famous Devil's Pool.
Here is our post about the Devil's Pool: https://steemit.com/wafrica/@roadtrips/africa-18-swimming-in-the-world-s-most-thrilling-infinity-pool-the-devil-s-pool

Truly magnificent!

Sunset in the Sahara desert on a dromedary. Douz Tunisia
Living the desert is a luxury, an unforgettable sporting and spiritual adventure! It's such a slap that we cried on leaving it! .. The desert will make you feel deep and genuine emotions.
It's amazing to see endless white sand dunes from the sand and I loved the fact that we got there just in time to watch the sunset! It is magic ! I will never forget this experience!GO FOR IT!

This is definitely on my bucket list. This would be so amazing. Great shot.

Looks like those two have sun instead of TV, lol.... Well, who wouldn´t since that sunset and scenery is just stunning.

The leopard is one of the rare animals can see while on safari on the Serengeti. We watched this guy just chilling up in the tree for about 15 minutes until he got tired and rolled onto his back and then fell asleep. An African Safari is an unforgettable experience.

I am sure it is, something I yet have to do.

Here's one from a little secluded cove on Mahe Island, the main island of the Seychelles. It's near Anse Marie Louise and can be reached by a little jungle hike. I always had this place completely for myself. I also filmed a little vlog about the shoot ->

Stunning shot as always and the video is a real bonus!


Richand stunning sunrise colors at Hurghada, Egypt. Morning low waters made visible very nice sand patterns and some stones around, which made the general composition much more interesting. Wide angle lens and low shooting point

Enjoy it!

Looking out the lighthouse window. The coast of east africa can be seen outside. Thatched roof huts shows me the roads have not yet made it here, and the simple remains... fishing, hunting. Welcome to Africa...

Zuid Afrika 2010 - 2 115.JPG

Sabi sands game reserve, South Africa.
The giraffe, world's tallest land animal. They are herbivores. With their long neck, they are able to reach the best leaves at the very top of the trees.
What an elegant animal.

Must be cool to look at everyone from up there:)....

Amboseli National Park is located in southern Kenya, a lovely place because of the amount of animals that are in it, anywhere you can see animals like these little monkeys throughout the park, always give good care to the animals for biological conservation, is something worth admiring.

El Badi Palace, Marrakech

Constructed in the 16th century, El Badi Palace was one of the biggest and most glamorous palaces in the world, but was looted and destroyed shortly after. Today, the ruins bear witness of the giant dimensions of the palace.

Thunder heads over Tsavo. For some reason the storms I see here always seem to be incredibly strong. They appear like a dark purple blotch on the horizon and spread like a bruise till they cover the sky and when the rain falls if come with an intensity that hard to believe. If you are in the open it can feel hard to breathe the air is so filled with water and it falls faster the ground can suck it in and drain away till the water rises above your ankles and it seems you are standing in a lake. As quick as it come it then gone and the blazing equatorial sun bakes the ground dry again.

Amazing how nature works in some parts of the world.

Wow Nice This is Awesome Places
