I remember staring in the depths of this landscape gave me such a peaceful feeling. Every inch of this view shows you another color and shape and if you look closely you can see this group of horseriders. I always wandered how they experienced this grandeur since they are right in the middle of it. Bryce Canyon, USA.

@worldcapture Asian Sunday entry:

Concrete Jungle, Hongkong. I took this shot a few years ago on my stay in Hongkong. The location was on the Victoria Peak (30 min hike for a stunning view) which was absolutely worth visiting.

@vinceboisgard Australian Monday entry:

The opera House and the harbour bridge view from the botanic gardens during night time. Sydney is such a great city and the rock is the place to hang out. The opera house structure is just breathtaking and so intriguing, it is a great architectural piece!

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans week #46 - winner announcement!

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

Could be easily considered as some Antarctica landscape, but the truth is this is frozen coastline of the Baltic Sea, Lithuania after pretty long period of negative temperature. Very low shooting angle and very wide angle lens bringing quite unusual overall perspective for the scenery. Dying from the hot Europeans.. enjoy the COLD!

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - African Wednesday week #46 - winner announcement!

@dali-gis African Wednesday entry:

Douz-Tunisia. Sahara desert: +40 heat, sand, wind and desert ships! It is here that tourists come to meet the sunset and ride a camel. We, too, did it, but only without any use. Independently organizing a trip to the Sahara, we traveled all tourist places by our friendly company on one car.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - European Thursday week #46 - winner announcement!

@travelingstories European Thursday entry:

This photo was taken by us @travelingstories in one of the most beautiful places in this world of ours: Lagoa das Sete Cidades, in the island of São Miguel, Azores - right in the middle of North Atlantic. The islands of this archipelago are of volcanic formation, the reason behind the fertile soils and strong greens, as well as colorful lagoons like this one...

Traveling is wonderful and I love doing it every chance I get. But sometimes, wonderful photographs can be taken right at home. I took this sunrise photo in Hollywood last week on the fire escape of my building. One of my favorite things to do at home is have my morning coffee and watch the sunrise (and of course, get a photo or two of it)!

You get to go to so many great places and have so many awesome pictures from your different travels. Keep up the great work.

Picturesque landscape of the Vinales National Park, Cuba. Found in the Pinar del Rio Province in the eastern part of the country, the Vinales National Park is one of the most beautiful and visited national parks in Cuba.

Great colors! Thank you so much for your participation.

Jump In!

This incredible waterfall is found nestled in the depths of the Grand Canyon on the Havasupai Indian Reservation. Mooney Falls has a drop of 190' feet. I can see Willow Jon down near the bottom left side of the falls ready to jump into the powerful thundering, pool below. AZ, USA.

Oh, I definitely would:)

Crater Lake National Park

Crater Lake National Park is a beautiful park in southern Oregon. While most of the tourist go to the lake, which is amazing, the surrounding land is stunning as well and there are many hiking trails throughout the park. In fact the Pacific Coast Trail runs through the park. See original post

This is such an awesome picture. The clouds and the layers of the background are awesome.

Thank you very much. It is such a beautiful place.

That is an amazing shot and stunning nature. Well done.

Thank you very much for the compliment and picking it for this week!

My today’s photo is from my recent trip to USA. It is from National Park Arches in Utah. Maybe anyone knows from where exactly was it taken? A small hint is that it is from the start of one trail in this park, now you just have to guess of which trail 😄

Nice Friday to all of you guys!

Great as always!

Taken on a recent trip to the Rockies. I would consider this place the most beautiful sight of them all. Moraine lake is so popular, it took us 5 tries and several years to actually be able to get in to view. Nestled in the Valley of the Ten Peaks (near Lake Louise), rock flour gets carried into the lake when the glaciers melt giving the lake it's amazing rich blue green color when the sun shines on it. Also pretty amazing to see snow when it's +30 celcius.

I upvote moraine lake related stuff too.
:)

Absolutely stunning place, wish I could go kayking there myself.

Lake Tahoe rocks!

Ah North America, the northernmost part of the Americas. In the middle of this, towards the west, out near the Pacific in Northern California (and Nevada too) is one of the most beautiful lakes on Earth - Lake Tahoe. Here the pink sunset (#nofilter) is enhanced from fires. Volcanic rocks give insight into the history here as well. Enjoy!

This is also on my blog.

Fabulous shot, thank you so much for sharing with all of us!

Thank you! Awesome posts and the quality is going up and loads of amazing photos everyday!

Monument Valley

This photo is from 2009 when I was travelling the amazing Southwest of the United States with my parents. Monument Valley certainly was one of the most amazing parts of this trip: This was our view from the campground that we were staying at with our RV.

I have also posted this photo on my blog.

There are many amazing locations across the US and this is definitely one of them. Thank you!

Lake Fulmor, California

Only an hour and a half from Los Angeles, the San Bernardino National Forest offers a much needed break from city life. No need to stray too far off the road, Lake Fulmor is a day use area just near Highway 243 - no backpacking required!

Thank you so much for your participation and this wonderful entry. Have a great weekend. Tomas

Thanks Tomas! Happy weekend from Thailand!

The Oregon Coast never fails to show me something beautiful.

Only an hour ish away from our home, we visit often.

To be honest, I’m not big on the sand aspect of the beach

Why do you go to the beach if you don’t like sand?

Because I like the ocean.

Oh, you like to swim?

Uh... well no.

🤦🏽‍♀️

The coast is beautiful, cliff sides, the ocean (obviously), the trees, etc.

When this particular photo was taken, @idkpdx & I were pulled over on the side of some road.

We looked out and the scene didn’t look like Oregon.

Almost like we had transported to another continent. It was a very interesting feeling.

Awesome to see you here. This is a great submission. Oregon is such a great place and has so many beautiful landscapes to visit.

I really enjoy this contest! Thank you :) Oregon is full of wonder and I’m stoked to bring all of its life to Steemit!

What a beautiful coastline and great entry. Thank you so much. Have a great weekend. Tomas

Hi @czechglobalhosts
here is my entry for North American Friday :)

https://steemit.com/steemitphotochallenge/@pradeepdee6/bass-harbor-light-house-7-world-s-continents-photo-challenge-north-american-friday

The light creating flames in sky gave birth to the golden hour. The picture is from Bass harbor Light house in Acadia national park.

The Light house was built in 1858 on a huge rock. The light house location shares the best experience of East coast sunset. The rock bed is above sea level and the broken rocks create rough way for the sea water hitting against them.
A 1800 kg bell is placed inside the tower. The lighthouse makes its entry in National Register of Historic Place as Bass Harbor Head Light Station on 1988

Hope you enjoy the picture. Have a great day :)

This is a wonderful image - but it needs to be accompanied by a short description of about 30 - 50 words in order to be valid for this contest... ~

Thank you very much for guiding me on my first post for the contest. I have updated the post with description.
Thank you once again

My pleasure ~ I am very fond of both this contest & this photograph :))

Welcome to the challenge. What an entrance with such an amazing pic. Just try to keep the entry between 30 to 50 words. Have a great weekend. Tomas

Thanks a lot.

That is awesome. Keep spreading the word.

Finally after my recent visit to Canada I can also participate on Fridays! ;) Late afternoon Riana and I went for a run in the epic city of Vancouvre, Canada. We ran on the pier, all the way to Stanley Island where we did a trail or two. What a beautiful city!

Photo of the Spirit of St. Louis in National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institute at Washington, D.C. In this historic plane Charles Lindberg, was the first person to cross the Atlantic without stops and in solitary. He flew from New York to Paris is 32 and half hours. If you check there are no front windows, this was done in order to have more space for fuel.

After a nice full day hiking on Mount Lafayette, New Hampshire, USA, this is what was waiting for us. It was so refreshing after a hot day. All hike should be concluded by a nice swim in a waterfall.

The Niagara Falls are one of the natural wonders of North America located between Canada and the United States by the Niagara River, this was taken from Canada, if you have the opportunity do not miss the opportunity to visit them!!!

Well done my friend, well done

~ 🤗🧡🌟 ~

That photo does not belong to me 😋😋

Sure ~ it is still great and has a special meaning to me :)

Your article is very exciting!

spam much?

Comments like this is much more exciting!

Great one...

It's more than one apparently..
There are six photos to be precise.
So you should have commented
Great Six...

😅😅 for sure buddy... I said "GREAT ONE FOR YOUR OVERALL POST" and I think it must be 1-single post on that I commented. BTW "GREAT SIX" Dude.

@axeman shot is one hell of a shot! Stunning. Just loved it

I always wanted to go to America, see the canyon and other interesting things, I hope that someday I will go there, greet everyone :)

I still don't believe this is a real picture. To me this is an Info-poster out of a book or so ;) Maybe that's just me
I'd like to be proven wrong though. ;)
