Wow, it has been a while since I participated here. This image is from Tanzania when I visited a Maasai church outside of Mtu wa Mbu Village. It was such an awesome experience and the people were so welcoming. We spent the day singing songs, dancing and having a great time with them. Then afterwards, we all gathered for some group pictures and more singing.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #93 - winner announcement!

@justdentist Asian Sunday entry:

Good morning Guilin. Guilin and the surrounding area was the highlight of our china vacation. The landscape is so unique with the hills all over the place and the rivers running through. The morning hike was steep but short and this view was the perfect prize:)

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #93 – winner announcement!

@robbertb Australian Monday entry:

It's quite a challenge to choose one picture from a six weeks New Zealand roadtrip, but I believe this one captures the feeling of freedom and the beauty of nature at it's best. This shot was taken at the top of Ben Ohau at 1500 meters elevation after a challenging hike in 28 degrees Celcius. The reward was amazing as you can see! (Yes, the lakes in New Zealand really are that blue).

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans week #93 – winner announcement!

@dmytrokorol Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:

Beautiful morning on Playa el Bollulo, Tenerife, Canary Islands. This beach with pitch black volcanic sand is one of the most beautiful on the island. I was mesmerized with the contrast of sand and the water rolling back and creating the white foamy lines. I have spent some time just looking at this natural beauty and noticed the amazing subtle reflection in the middle ground. All I needed is a subject and it was easy to find because there are several rock formations on the beach. I took several shots to find the right balance in all this permanent changing and combined several images (foreground with the leading lines, middle ground with reflection and subject with rock and crashing waves).

Tinghir's Mud Brick Houses

Located next to a green valley with an abundance of palm trees, the city of Tinghir in Morocco is a green oasis in the rocky desert landscape surrounding it. Countless mud-brick houses in the green valley have been abandoned in favour of the more easily accessible modern buildings located closer to the road. These lost places can be explored on a hike through the valley to Todra Gorge.

I know this is not the right Africa. This photo was taken on holiday in Egypt in Safaga. I couldn't do anything but get up and watch the sunrise on the beach.

This was my first shoot of the journey.
It was a journey from one region to another in Nigeria to attend a wedding.
I was bored inside the car so I took my phone and started taking shots of the green vegetations and rocks on my way.

This was one of the best photos I took.

Electrification on Mars


Picture like from a sci-fi cartoon... But in reality shot from the moving bus early morning on the way from Hurghada to Luxor, Egypt to reach our cruise up the Nile ship.
The quality is not so sharp, but really nice overall effect and some strange colors caused by polarized bus window

Enjoy the scenery :)

We came across this fresh leopard's kill hanging in the tree while on a early morning safari through Etosha National Park Namibia. This springbok will make for a great breakfast! But the leopard was nowhere to be seen. Only these two jackles hanging around for some scraps and some hyenas where also close by. But the leopard was never seen.

Before going to Egypt, the pyramids were the main attraction I wanted to visit. I have to say that I was a little disappointed. First, it was impossible to visit all three pyramids, there is a rotation each day due to the amount of tourist. Secondly, there is nothing inside the pyramids, no hieroglyph, one broken sarcophagus inside Cheops and only one way in and out of each one. On top of that, they are so close to the city of Cairo, you can see and smell all the pollution. I am still happy to have gotten the chance to see them live, I guess I had too high expectation!
