7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #20 – winner announcement!
@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:
The spectacular view from the top of Roy's Peak on New Zealand's south island. It's 1400meters up from the car park just a few miles outside of Wanaka. I was up there for sunset and was the only person staying in the freezing November winds. It was great to have such a view for myself :-)

@photofreediver Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans entry:
To see icebergs in Greenland is the dream of many people. For our freedivers team this was also the purpose of our trip. But on the tops of the icebergs, we certainly did not stop. We became one of the first people in the World who saw the beauty and grandeur of the underwater part of the ice giants.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday #20 – winner announcement!
@ansharphoto African Wednesday entry:
Quiver Trees at Dawn, Namibia. My first day in Namibia did not disappoint. I traveled with a group of photographers to the Quiver Forest, a place for which the photographs had not prepared me. The Quiver Forest is actually privately-owned land — the Guriganus Farm — and the “trees” which make up this otherworldly forest are not actually trees at all, but plants. Their fibrous trunks are easy to hollow out and were once widely used as quivers for arrows.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – European Thursday #20 – winner announcement!
@skiesandsports European Thursday entry:
Lake District Sunrise. This one is from my favourite place in the world, the Lake District here in the UK. It's such an incredible place - unsurprisingly FULL of lakes! - and perfect for sunrise/sunset shoots looking over the incredible landscape! If you are ever in the UK I'll give you one tip, don't bother with London, that's not even close to the best part of the UK!!

Two weeks ago, I went to Elysian Park to watch the sunset over downtown Los Angeles. For the sunset, I chose the 110 Freeway overpass for my photos. But before that, I had some time to explore the park so I went up to Angels Point that offered an incredible view of the city. I think I'll be going back soon to get some sunset shots from this point!
Great shot Matt!
Yosemite Park - Tioga Pass
We drove the 120 - Tioga RD - from the west to the east thorough Yosemite Park. The road is closed during winter time and opens Mid May or even later depending on the plowing progress. The way up is just great but coming down again, following the windy roads and seeing the valley and Mono Lake is fantastic. The picture was taken on the way at a viewing point.
Beautiful image, great entry. Thanks a million. Tomas
I have to thank you! Have a great week:)
Colorful sunset over a lake in the Kennebec Golf Camp in Maine, US. I was working at that camp during my work and travel program some 7 years ago and it was a great and unforettable experience. Rural Maine is beautiful.
The sea of red, stunning!
My honeymoon with @danpaulson included an amazing trip to Yellowstone Park. The stars at night took my breath away, as did the fantastic colours in the Grand Prismatic Spring, which are created by microbial mats around the edges of the mineral-rich water!
Stunning image indeed!
Thank-you @czechglobalhosts; I feel very lucky to have been there! :-)
Took this photo a couple years back on the island of Kauai in the Waimea Canyon. This is known as the grand canyon of Hawaii and one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The hiking trails around this canyon are second to none and the views amazing wherever you go.
Gorgeous photo!
Fabulous picture. Thank you so much for sharing. Tomas
While traveling along the Icefield parkway, we always admire the Endless Chain, a large piece of the earth's crust that was forced out during tectonic plate stress. We got there just in time to see the sun disappear behind the mountains on the opposite side leaving the tip of the mountain lit up while shading the rest of the valley.
What a great entry. Thank you so much for your participation. Kindly stay tuned for the winne announcement coming later on today. Tomas
Thank you Tomas :)
One of the most popular places of the canadian Rocky Mountains is the stunning Lake Louise in Banff National Park. Clear turquoise water, steep mountains and a glacier create a postcard view...
Superb image!
Fantastic image as always. Thank you for your continued support. Have a great day. Tomas
A shot of the Horseshoe Bend, Arizona. This bend in the Colorado River is a popular attraction for those visiting the Grand Canyon. It is located approximately 140 miles from both the South Rim and the North Rim near the town of Page.
I just love this spot! Great image, thank you so much. Tomas
The giant bean aka cloud gate is an iconic symbol of downtown Chicago. Located in Millennium park, the shiny bean shows reflections of the tall architecture and sky surrounding it. I especially like the night view because the lights make the reflections of the cityscape extra bright.
Thanks for hosting this awesome contest, @czechglobalhosts - There is truly so much talent and inspiration to explore on Steemit, and I've really been enjoying your selections.
Great click! Thank you for sharing with everyone. Tomas
Panorama of threatening storm clouds over the canyon landscape of Colorado National Monument (near Grand Junction). The wind here was so strong that I was having trouble getting sharp exposures even with a tripod!
Fantastic as always!
Thanks, Tomas! :)
Jasper National Park, Canada
One of those gorgeous gorges you can find in the Canadian Rockies, some clear cold water stream between some rough rocky cliffs,being outdoors in that area is always refreshing and rewarding
In an eruption in the 1980s this road leading through Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii was covered in the lava of Kīlauea volcano. Kīlauea's lava is flowing slowly but steadily and the volcano is still active today and almost extinguished the town Pahoa some years ago, but luckily the lava flow only reached the first house and then stopped.

Views of New York City from the Top Of The Rock Observatory. Fabulous views this bright winter, from Central Park to Manhattan's Midtown and Downtown skyscrapers. 70 floors high and unobstructed 360° city views!
Perspectives, Lights and shadows on the Manhattan bridge view from the famous Washington Street.
The giant of metal rising through the building far at the end of the street... A classic shot that still a really nice view!
Location: Brooklyn, New York.
The Brooklyn Bridge was my favorite bridge among the many beautiful bridges in New York who look like veins through the skyscraper canyons and busy streets. In the background you can also see the newly built One World Trade Center.
I took this photo in Arizona at Lake Powell, the Horseshoe Bend, Arizona! This is an awesome place to visit, but don't forget your sunscreen it really is hot there! The contrast between the red rocks and the blue sky is awesome! Must do on a roadtrip for everyone... A lot of nice landscapes are found there!

This is Sadie's Cove in Kachemak Bay State Park, across from Homer, Alaska. I went camping here last summer for three nights, and decided to take my drone for a spin to look for some unique angles.
Happy to see :)
This is one of my favorite photos taken at my favorite canyon (yet) - Bryce Canyon, which I had the opportunity to visit last summer. No photo can do justice to the immensity of this place, and the varied natural patterns and bright colors are very impressive as well!

This is from moab, Utah. Near the national monument of Colorado. This actually a photo of my sister. My parents, elder sister and youngest brother live in Clifton Colorado. I guess moan Utah was their favorite place because they always visit and have many pictures there.
The ruins are situated on 12-meter tall cliffs along the east coast of the Yucatán in Tulum.The views are incredible from the ruins, almost as much as the ruins themselves! It was amazing and uplifting experience!
This photo is taken at The Majestic Hoover Dam. It's located at the border between U.S. states Arizona and Nevada and is built on the Colorado River. I like the contrast of the colors in this picture!

Photo of a misty sunrise in Atlanta, the main city of the state of Georgia (USA). The photo was taken during winter, in some days it is common to see the sky so foggy. This photo shows one of the most well-known skylines of the city with its skyscrapers.
Photo of Paris Las Vegas from my last trip with my family. I took the picture from one of the walkways crossing over the strip. When I saw the view I thought I have to get a shot of this and it turned out to be one of my favorite shots. Hope you guys enjoy it.
America has almost every view in the world.
New York, New York
I want to wake up in a city, that doesn't sleeps.
This is my favourite shot of my trip to NW, I hope you like it! :)
Great photo!
Thank you @gillianpearce
New York was always my absolute favorite city of the U.S.! So when I finally made it to NYC the first time, of course I had to make sooo many pictures.
This one is one of my favorites, hope you like it!
The United States Department of the Treasury, located in Washington D.C, in one of the most important architectural works of the city founded in 1789.
Today I want to share a photo taken on the longest street in the world: Yonge Street. Located in Toronto, Canada.
I agree if america the best view for photography..absolutely if america make journey all man go there..success forever for czechglobalhosts..thanks for your posting and this make me know how good america.
Sea from one side and swamp from another one. This picture was taken from a lighthouse in Punta Sur. It is Eco beach park in Cozumel (Mexico), where you can see a lot of animals, iguana, crocodile and coati.
Damn it, I get wanderlust hard watching those pictures! The world can be so peaceful and beautiful!
I'm no photographer myself, I just enjoy watching the pictures! Wish all contestants the best luck!
Nice

Lombard Street is the most famous street of San Francisco with all its turns. By night you can rediscover the street with a "light show" made by all the cars.
