7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #28 – winner announcement!
@benfenson Australian Monday entry:
This is Kiama lighthouse on the NSW, Southcoast, taken during a violent thunderstorm at the start of this years storm season. My partner and i had originally walked out to the tip of the headland to photograph the storm coming in from the West but the storm was moving so quickly that by the time we had setup, bolts of lightning were exploding all around us prompting us to head for cover. Just before making it back to the car the wind and rain hit luckily my camera gear stayed dry!.... I didn't ;)

@axeman Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:
Sunset Baltic Sea coast, nearby Klaipeda, Lithuania. A big stone as center of a composition and long exposure to freeze the movement of the wave. The most difficult part is actually to stay with dry shoes :) Every time sea just tries to catch me, but have enough experience so far to predict bigger waves. Enjoy it!

I took this photo at a market just outside of Stone Town on the island of Zanzibar when I visited there in July 2016. The market was incredibly crowded with vendors as well as customers. As you can see from the photo, the many colors there were incredibly vibrant, both from the food and decoration. You can get pretty much anything you need to prepare a delicious meal from this market, from vegetables to meat and the locals come here daily for that reason.

Africa is known for its animals. That is why people travel from all over the world to go on safari to see them in their natural habitat. There really isn't a way in words to describe the feeling you get when you cross into the Serengeti and start to see all of the amazing animals. It is truly an amazing experience. I took this picture in the Serengeti National Park during the summer of 2017 during my trip to Tanzania.

Thank you. I had an amazing time there in Africa and I can't wait to be able to return. The animals are cool to see, but the people are what make it such an amazing place.

Night Sky of Namibia
Namibia’s sparse population makes it one of the best places in the world for stargazing. While light pollution clouds the skies over much of the world, in Namibia, it seems that the Milky Way’s luminous beauty is just overhead, just beyond our reach. More of the galaxy is visible from the dunes and salt pans of Namibia than virtually anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere.

I have no doubt that Sudan is one of the best places in the World for diving. Always warm Red Sea, an abundance of colorful corals and tropical fish make every dive striking and unforgettable. It's a place where every instant of water under water you want to leave in your memory and on the photographers, of course!

It is time that also I try my luck at African challenge with photo from DeadVlei 😁
There is not much to describe as photo speaks for itself. In the dessert, at the middle of nowhere there is life. These old trees are masters of survival and create one of the most unique scenery on Earth.

Peeking through a gate I got to snap this photo of the Sphinx with one of the pyramids of Giza. The gates were all closed to the public so we couldnt get in to see the Sphinx front on, as they were doing restorations to the monument. Still an amazing sight to see☺

The Dades Gorge was one of my personal natural highlights in Morocco. My amazing couchsurfing host took me to this viewpoint that provides an incredibly photogenic view over the steep and curvy road that ascends from Dades Valley into the Atlas Mountains.

What an incredible sight to see (and road to travel on), @jpphotography! Extra care is needed to travel through this road though. But anyhow, it's nice to see this other and less known side of Morocco.

I actually took a shared taxi to the lower end of the road and walked up :D But driving this road must be awesome as well!

We move in the middle of an arid environment, sand dunes or mountains, then in the distance or at the turn of our road appears an island of greenery, an oasis full of life.
By moving in the oasis you will experience a feeling of freshness and well being where only the singing of birds disturbs the calm.
Oasis Nafta-Tozeur Tunisia..

Botswana, what a great travel experience. Looking for the big 5 by your own in your own vehicle. This elephant is one of them. Unfortunately we missed the leopard, but still we had a great time.

A storm approaching high in the Atlas mountains of Morocco. We trekked for 3 days in these landscapes full of contrasting colors, the orange/red of the desert, the white snow-capped mountains and that deep blue of Moroccan skies. We saw nobody else except for some berber families that have chosen to live in caves near water sources.

The Temple of Ramesseum can be found in Luxor, Egypt. Here we can see the mortuary temple of Ramses II with the mountains surrounding it. We took a nice hot day under the sun to explore the site and it was worth it!

Underwater photograph I took while working on a shipwreck excavation in the harbor of Sainte Marie, Madagascar. The team was there looking for a pirate shipwreck belonging to the infamous pirate Captain William Kidd.
Sainte Marie is a wonderful place and more beautiful than you can imagine. Highly recommend if you are ever in the neighborhood.

Hello Dear Steemians!
I took these pictures, while visiting Johannesburg, South Africa. It is not a beautiful scenery nor a picture from Safari. And this is the point! Many people in Africa live with less than 2$ per day and it is devastating to see the way they have to live.

Morocco
The garden is the foundation of the French artist Jacques Majorelle in Marrakech, Morocco in 1917. In it he planted plants from all over the world. Builds a villa, which today is a museum, a lake with lilies and a host of bars. Everything in it is in blue, known today as Majorelle blue.

Walk on the beach in east part of Mauritius was perfect and the sunset gave us very sharp and beautiful colors of the whole place. I love this photo which also brings me back the memories of that beautiful island.
Ahoj!

A mini-workspace in a rural makerspace in Kwara State, Nigeria. I couldn't resist taking a picture of this. These rural guys create all their videos and content there where it's flown out to the world. If you ever visit Nigeria, please visit.

I really wish I could put in for this contest. But... I don't even have a camera. @funtraveller, I have been following up on your pictures. They are quite amazing. You know what, let me just put in a picture anyway. It's not going to be wow or anything, but I think it deserves telling.

So, this is a night scene from Ibadan, one of the largest cities in West Africa. The cab with the inscription 'authentic' is a common sight on Ibadan roads as it is used for commercial purposes. This place reminds me of everything new and old merged into one.

Was lucky enough to go to Morroco earlier this year and take the trip to the Sahara! What an experience. The sand dunes just look amazing with blue skies in the background
