@vcclothing Asian Sunday entry:

I was exploring the caves in Petra Jordan were people used to live and I came across this one cave that had a window with a awesome view. I was there during winter so it was cold out side but surprisingly inside the caves was alot warmer. Petra is an amazing place to explore! So many cool caves to check out.

Burning sunset over the Beagle Gulf, as every night the landscape turns into an incredible scenery of thousand colours. Darwin is a magical place for sunset sighting and every day the end of the day is just mind-blowing... I loved it!

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

Coming back to frozen Baltic Sea and amazing views which you could see during very cold and very calm periods of winter. Very low shooting angle and very wide angle lens again bringing quite unusual overall perspective for the scenery. Enjoy the scenery!

Camels in the Sahara. On the last day of my trip to the Sahara, our guide readied the camels early in the morning. To give the camels a rest, we all agreed on walking back to Merzouga instead of risking another bumpy ride.

View of Casa Mila (popularly known as La Pedrera or "The stone quarry"), one of the most famous buildings in Barcelona designed by the legendary Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi. Built between 1906 and 1912, Casa Mila was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984.

excellent photography friend, you can appreciate the imposing facade. @phortun

I could easily pick Barcelona as one of my most favorite cities in Europe. Thank you for sharing.

Here I have a fresh photo from the Austrian Alps. I took it last weekend on a hiking trip in the Stubai Valley. It was a wonderful calm morning. After thick clouds had still obscured this view throughout the night I was very happy to wake up at 4am to a clear sky. It was pure magic

Awesome entry! Congrats:)

Perfect ___ golden hour has a power !
And this river and clouds, and view !
I wanna have pgoto like this in my pf too :D !

Wonderful capture of my homecountry :D

Last weekend I went hiking in the area of Lake Wolfgang with some friends. A few meters before reaching the top of a a hill called Bleckwand, I found this natural stone bridge which I could use as a perfect frame for a picture of Lake Wolfgang with it's bright blue and crystal clear water.

Don't forget to click on the pic to watch it in full ress!

What a spectacular place. @axeman

Wonderful entry. Love your work Ruslan.

South Tirol, Italy. We took the early bird offer and went up to the summit before sunrise in one of the coldest winters in a long time. Speikboden was the name of the mountain that has an amazing 360 degree view from the top. To be honest, even though we checked the weather forecast and prepared ourselves for the cold,... it was freezing as f***. minus 23 degrees and wind that made your face fall off.

Thos tips of the mountain look so close you could almost touch them. Wonderful image.

Here is a view of Prizren, Kosovo taken just after sunset. The lit up mosque at the bottom of the picture is the Sinan Pasha Mosque and the mountains in the background are the excellently named Accursed Mountains. If you want to visit somewhere in Europe without the hordes of tourists then Kosovo is a great place to check out.

Beautiful view of the city! Great job.

This is the areal view on Perast town .
I couldn't to have the bigger luck with this moody clouds. It was close the Golden Hour, so I knew that I can have a good light for this landscape. I waited for the moment when the sun will hide behind the mountain and I took this shot.
Montenegro is amazing country, I really loved all places - except Podgorica ;).
And it's famous because of this sea mountain scheme. If you wanna see Fjords you don't have to go only to Norway.. very similar landscapes you caf find just in Montenegro. And is a bit warmer in here ;).

Tenerife, Canary Island
I took this picture on my week of exploring Tenerife, the largest of the seven Canary Islands. The Sunset/Sunrise every day where tremendously beautiful and always a reason to wake up early :)

Love that color combination. That is incredible.

Midi-Pyrénées

This picture was taken on the Winter of 2014 at the Midi-Pyrénées mountains at south of France, next to Tarbes city.

We went by car from Tarbes to some point at the Mountains and started waking upside on a footpath and did a nice trekking day with my university fellows from Erasmus. It was very cold, but the view was awesome.

What a beautiful nature!

Small Dutch city "HARLINGEN"

Harlingen is a small city in Friesland with about 15.000 residents. It's located at the Wadden Sea, has several harbours, including the "Zuiderhaven harbour", the old white lighthouse and typical Dutch canals all over the city. In front of the buildings you see the "Platboden" ships which are special for this area.

Enjoy:)

Photo of the main tower of Wartburg Castle in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany. This Castle is quite famous since it is the place were Martin Luther translate the New Testament into German, from the original Greek texts. He was refuged in this Castle in this castle for almost a year (1521-1522) after he was excommunicated by the Pope Leo X.

Fuerteventura, Spain

8 years ago we visited the nearly every of the Canarian Islands and one of them is Fuerteventura. I took this shot in the middle of nowhere when we got lost with our rental car. What I like the most on Fuerteventura is the contrast between the sandy hills and the sky.

Fonte Luminosa in Lisbon, Portugal

I did not attend the SteemFest in Lisbon, but I visited the capital of Portugal in 2014. One of my favourite spots was Alameda Park that features one of Lisbons most beautiful fountains: Fonte Luminosa

I have also posted this photo on my blog.

The Jura Region, France

You'll find a handful of hikers and skiers in the Jura Mountains, but most tourists don't make it to the far east of France. @suitcasemama and I took our time driving from one village to the next, sampling local food and drink, and taking time to explore the lovely roadside parks.

Beautiful mountains of France. you should breathe pure and clean air. beautiful photo the truth.

I took this photo on my last summer vacation in Crete (Greece), which was 2 years ago. Since then I travel to warmer regions, when it's cold where I'm living. Crete is a wonderful island with lots to discover. What you can see in this photo is Bali bay (yes, a confusing name) as seen from the hillside during blue hour.

oh what a spectacular photo. beautiful bay I would like to know that beautiful place.

Sometimes, we just need to look up!
This is the ceiling of one of the rooms of the Vatican Museum, Italy. We can see all the details in the paintings and sculptures. Most of the people don’t bother looking up and are missing on such beauty. Specially in old building, one should always take a look up when entering a room.

I hope to soon make a contest of America America friends. Excellent initiative I would like to participate but I do not know Europe. We follow you and leave you a positive vote @czechglobalhosts :)

An incredibly lovable region. you beautifully choose places to your rest, I love. the dish you have got tasted appears heavenly and mouth-watering. I believe that their look is completely encouraged via the taste further as scrumptious as it's miles lovely. Based on your depiction, it's extremely tasty. exceptionally else, I loved crabs and fish within the closing picture.

Just amazing... carry on brother... Help me grow up. I am new here.
