7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans week #45 - winner announcement!

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

Hidden Gold of the Caribbean. Only by spending a lot of time underwater do you understand how sea treasures really look. It has nothing to do with man. It is a natural wealth and beauty. Every spark that flashed in the dark blue bears a part of this treasure. Fish are certainly one of them. Every find among the gently pricking branches of corals brings you joy. And if you stop and listen, you can feel the harmony of the sea. Bonaire Island, Caribbean Sea.

Majestic white cliffs and incredibly turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea captured from a boat during our trip to the legendary Navagio Beach, the most famous landmark of the Zakynthos (or Zante) Island, Greece.

Yep, incredible place indeed! Thank you for sharing with all of us.

Brandenburg Gate, Germany

The Brandenburg Gate is a symbol of the reunified Germany: When Germany was split into West and East and Berlin separated by the Berlin Wall, this gate was located right on the Berlin Wall. This square labelled "Place of March 18" commemorates the first free elections in Eastern Germany held on March 18, 1990.

I have also posted this photo on my blog.

Great shot and an important piece of history.

Neist Point / Highlands / Scotland

Amazing, high cliffs of Neist Point - narrow penninsula is most western part of Isle of Skye. Big, white Neist Point Lighthouse is situated almost 20 meters above sea level, was built in 1909. Dramatic seascape streches both ways from the place. Almost always windy - it is "must see" place when You will visit the Skye. Another great thing is sea wildlife which can be seen from the shore - Whales, dolphins, porpoises and basking shark are only some of them.

Some amazing views!

Rhine Falls, Neuhausen am Rheinfall


The Rhine Falls, the widest waterfall in Europe with 150 meters in width is an incredible sight located in Switzerland. This world-wonder is a must see for those who are chasing waterfalls or are nature lovers. Sensitive to sound? This experience will give you a blast so bring ear stoppers!

That is pretty spectacular.

This is awesome. It looks like a shot out of the movies.

Thanks Deranged! It's one of my most precious shots that I took in Switzerland!

Monastery of Bebenhausen

A few weeks ago we went to the University City of Tuebingen near Stuttgart. On the way we stopped in a small village called Bebenhausen. The image shows the monastery of the village. Such a beautiful building.

Thank you so much for your participation.

During an amazing sunset at the Croatian coast, I had the idea of placing my crystal ball in a puddle by the sea. That turned our to be a great decission! This is one of my best shots I took on that evening in Makarska:

This is an incredible shot. I love that reflection in there. Very creative shot.

Thanks a lot! 🙂

Wow, that is incredible.

Thank you so much! 🙂


Unbelievable hot period in Lithuania (and actually in most of Europe) causing very often quick rain fronts coming evening and nights with waterfalls and lightning. This night was pretty crazy and managed to get some lightning into the frame.

Here is a view to night port of Klaipeda

Enjoy it!

Yep, the weather is becoming some-how unbearable. It is little too hot for my liking right now.

VENICE

This picture was taken from one of the hundreds bridges of Venice in the summer of 2014. The city is unique and magnificent. I highly recommend visiting it.

In this picture you can appreciate one of the water channels of the city with the variety of western and eastern architecture and the various boats and yachts as a means of daily transport (the lacquered wooden boats are awesome)

Incredible Venice, way too touristy for my liking but an awesome place.

Agree, I don´t think it would be a nice place to live, but for visiting I love it.

Kotor bay web 2.jpg

Stunning sunset over bay of Kotor in Montenegro. I was so happy to observe it for almost 2 hours... how sun sat behind the mountains, how weather slowly changed and finally how lights went up.
Picture made of 3 different exposures from different periods of time and all blended together. Do not forget to enlarge the image and view in full screen.

An amazing click, amazing place. Thank you for sharing. Tomas

Tuscany in February. If you like wine, this is one of the most famous wine-areas in the world. Montepulciano, the home to super delicious reds.. Ahhh they are so good. Driving around this area was my favorite thing. Windy roads, wine yards wherever you look, fancy mansions surrounded by cypress trees. Fabulous landscape.

LRM_EXPORT_20180213_221304.jpg

You just gotta love Tuscany! Incredible place.

Yes it was!

Beja is a small city of Portugal where we can admire fortified walls. The interior of the walls is very nice with old streets and houses. A glimpse of the past.

Photo of the fish market in Venice, known as Mercati di Rialto or pescheria di Rialto, since it is next to the famous bridge over the Grand Canal. When I passed through the market, it was already closed and they were cleaning it, as it can be seen in the image. At that moment I saw these red curtains and the contrast of light and shadows I was sure that I will get an interesting image.

I am sure that it is a unusual image of Venice.

We @travelingstories took this picture some time ago on our first visit to one of the most beautiful and cosmopolitan cities of Italy: Milan. It shows its cathedral - one of the most beautiful and biggest cathedrals in the world, in our opinion :)

This is the entrance of the old harbor on the island of Rhodes in Greece.
On top of the columns there are the statuses of one male and one female fallow deer which are considered to be a symbol of the island.


This photo was taken after the hike from Rotenboden to Riffelberg and arrived back to Zermatt. It was a very unlucky day because the Mt. Matterhorn was hiding behind the clouds for the entire day.

The ride up by cable car is an experience in itself - at the platform from the Kitzsteinhorn/Austria -3028m- high you can expect a breathtaking view!
But you have to be prepared with warm clothes-its very windy and cold up there!

I thought that now that the midnight sun period is over here up North in Norway, the sunsets would be less interesting, but these days we get to witness the sun set and rise in a two hour span and specifically this spot was just out of this world. The sky turned into all of these very soft different kind of colours and it literally looked like a painting. Man, I love Norway!!

Also Europe but little bit untraditional place to visit - Pripyat

The Polissya Park Hotel with the restaurant in front of the hotel (the lower round part) in the abandoned city of Pripyat in Ukraine, affected by the Chernobyl disaster.

It was built in the mid-70s to house delegations and guests visiting the Chernobyl Power Plant. The hotel is featured in the video game Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

Hallstatt, Austria

is a village on Lake Hallstatt's western shore in Austria's mountainous Salzkammergut region. Its is a charming lakeside village in the Alps.
Many visitors just stop by for a few hours as part of a day trip,

I work in the beach in den haag, netherlands. Especially last months we had beautiful weather and amazing sunsets like these.. This paraglider has a beautiful evening aswel!

Incredible sunset. Just a shame your entry is short of a minimum of 30 words to qualify for a contest. Thank you for your understanding and have a great day. Tomas

No hard feelings, but in your own rules it states clearly and i qoute
"Your entries need to be submitted by 8 AM Central European Time in order to be considered for the challenge with a description of approximately 30 to 50 words"

In my language the word "approximately" means with a simple word "about"

With using 28 words in my opinion this is approximately 30 words.

But anyways next time better ;)

Burgh Haamstede, The Netherlands.
It is summer in The Netherlands. The weather is very nice but warm at this moment. So we made just a short walk through the dunes to the beach for some refreshment.

Nice shot! Check out my entry from the beach of den haag

Sunset photography is a favourite subject any time of the year. The rich colors, dramatic lighting and strong shapes they offer can produce stunning shots with little need for much effort or clever planning from you.

It is a very nice post. I have read the post carefully and I hope you are very careful on your post.You stay with us by nice posting.

This is a very exciting competition. I am from asia , when should i submit the picture.

The contest for Asia is every Sunday!

So this contest is back. Oh what a huge contest this is. The best on steemit according to me. The entries and the qualitt work are the best. All are at peak. After some vonsideration i think that the entry from @narchuk posting in antarctica and oceans should be the worthy winner. Thanks for the contest though.
