In Sydney, we get some pretty cracking electrical storms every now and then. This bolt of lightning literally lit up the sky over Sydney's CBD almost hitting the iconic Sydney Tower.

This is another of the photos I took on my trip to Sayulita and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. On one day, we chartered a boat for the full day and took it to a private island for swimming, kayaking, snorkeling, and of course drinking. :) It really was a wonderful day seeing the big, blue ocean surrounding us. In this photo, I love the one lone boat near us in the right side of the frame. I also love the hazy outline of the mountains and land in the background. This photo just reminds me of a truly great day with friends!

We had been finishing our road trip in 2014 in a town of Hel, Poland. We just checked in in a hotel when I realized, something was happening with the light. I grabbed my gear and ran to the sun hoping there should be the sea. Happily, Hel located on a peninsula and the sun were setting on the shore in the shortest distance from me. On the beach, I noticed the seagulls and thought they could be a nice foreground. But they noticed me too, so I ended up trying to catch them and the waves in one shot.

What colors! Simply stunning. Tomas

Thank you Tomas!

Pier reflected in waters of the Pacific Ocean in Venice, a famous residential, commercial, and recreational beachfront neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. Located within the urban region of western Los Angeles County known as the Westside, the area is known for a long pedestrian promenade that features performers, mystics, artists and vendors. The beaches are vast and clean but the water is very cold in this part of the year so few people dare to swim in it now. Coming there from the ever-hot Caribbean, I was not one of them :D

Here we go, fresh new pics:)....

I made this photo only three hours ago in the Blue Bay of Sevastopol. I went there in the evening with my family and I took a tripod and a camera with me. Choosing a place to shoot, I installed a tripod. But the wind was so strong that I had to hold hands while shooting. And when the sun appeared for a few seconds because of the clouds, it turned out that the lens glass was covered with small sea drops that gave an interesting optical effect.
It turned out that the strong wind that brought the drops was the harbinger of a real storm that is now raging outside my window ...

Hmm fresh new pic:).... Thank you for sharing. Tomas


Another frame from Baltic Illusions series. Colourful sunset at Curonian Spit. Very low shooting angle to get the reflection from the wet sand. And some piece of wood to improve composition and add more interest

Enjoy the view!

Absolutely amazing capture!

I am happy to be back home and back to the challenge!

"Look, a dolphin!" people were exclamating when I was on this ferry crossing from the Tasmanian mainland over to Maria Island. "So what", I thought, "I am used to seeing dolphins every day in my Steemit feed!".
Well, since I took this particular photo in April 2016 I did not actually think that - otherwise I would probably be a dolphin myself now.

Beautiful capture! Thank you so much for your contribution. Tomas

The ocean is the personification of the primordial force. It is not bad or good. But for our world he is one of the foundations of life. And we should not fight it but protect it.
Well, for me it is also a source of inspiration. Without which it's hard for me to live long. And it is in these waves off the coast of New Zealand that I find it much easier than in a crowded city ....
Sea nature

The power of wild open ocean! Great click.

The temperatures in Antarctica are so cold, to the point that if you drop a glassy object, it will break apart and if you take a fish out of the ice hole five seconds later it will freeze. . . hard. Because of its extreme conditions, its environment without plants but amazingly beautiful try to see the iceberg with its waterfalls are so beautiful dazzling, being in Antarctica like being in another world.

Stunning! Thank you so much for your participation. Tomas

Thank you again

I took this shot one warm afternoon in a little island off the coast of Bali. The clouds were on flames and they reflected their blazing colour on the waves as they rocked the boats near the beach. It was as epic as it was peaceful.

Beautiful capture! Thank you so much for sharing. Tomas

The photogenic Yaquina Head Lighthouse, outside Newport, Oregon, is a popular tourist destination. I was here one night a few years ago photographing startrails, and loved the look of the light beams cutting through the atmosphere.

Dipping into the sea at the end of a hot sunny day was a great choice, and I enjoyed this golden hour with gentle sea breeze. Australia is blessed with plenty of city beaches like this one in Newcastle, New South Wales.

Took this photo of some lowly iceburgs from a small landing boat as we neared the shoreline. It is incredible to see them in person in the water as it seems so majestic and beautiful yet are extremely dangerous to get near.

Shot on a long exposure setting to capture the time passing as the tide rise and the clouds pass by along the sea shore.
Captured on the south Eastern Australian coast, I'd like to share this moment with you in the hope to give you a moment of peace.

Location: Australia.

This photo was taken in the Caribbean Sea, in a ferry trip from the capital of Venezuela, Caracas to the Island of Margarita, where for a large part of the trip we were accompanied by these beautiful dolphins, it is incredible all the majesty that our oceans and many things that surely have not been explored from this underwater world.

This is my entry for Tomas challenge. I share here a photo which I took at the Baltic Sea located in the East part of Germany. The island you see is called Ruegen and is famous for the so called Kreidefelsen (chalk cliff) which you can see on the left part of my photo...

Photo of catamaran in Indian ocean, taken in Mauricius, Île aux Cerfs. The water was incredibly clear with a lot of different fishes. The morning was rainy and windy, luckily the afternoon weather was that sunny so I could took this shot.

Photo in the city of Jakarta I quoted a few days ago, here the birthplace of me ... This seems to be the city of Jakarta, precisely in the city center there is a national monument in the wake up to recognize the services of the Indonesian national hero ...

enjoy the sunset at the tip of sumatera aceh, indonesia namely java gampong beach which is one of sunset location in banda aceh. seeing the gulls of seagulls made me interested to capture the sunset using canon eos 600d with focal lenght 120mm f5,6 1/500 iso100.

Thank you for visiting my simple blog gretting @ombrue

I would have love to be part of this challenge but unfortunately i have never been to that part of the world. Good luck to all the contestants.

the mountains that lie on this continent reach a height of more than 4,300 meters in some parts. Strong winds freeze the body when there is no body armor, life signs are hard to find, especially when in dry valleys

The photo I bring you today is from Nusa Penida, Bali, Indonesia. At the top KelingKing Beach, the lookout peers down on the turquoise water, white sand, and whale-like rock formation.
