Jellyfish photographed this morning especially for the contest @czechglobalhosts ... !! Well ... not really for the contest "Tuesday of Antartica" I lie... (!). But on the other hand, it is true that this jellyfish came around my boat this morning when I woke up and that I had a pleasure to slide in the water to observe it under all sides.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - African Wednesday week #39 - winner announcement!

@dali-gis African Wednesday entry:

Sahrara Douz Tunisia. A visit to the Sahara Desert is an experience that everyone should have at least once in their life. It's a trip worth the effort, you'll have good memories to last forever. Imagine yourself at the top of a camel trekking in the Sahara Desert. There is nothing around you, and all you can hear are the tracks of the camel on the soft sand. The sky is vast and clear in the day and filled with millions of bright stars at night.
