7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Australian Monday week #36 - winner announcement!

@jayclar30 Australian Monday entry:

This is Natural Bridge but is sometimes called Natural Arch. It is a stunning waterfall found in Springbrook National Park in Queensland, Australia. I was blessed the day we visited, we had been there for a little while and I had already taken a heap of photos but then the sun found an area through the trees to shine through making my photos all the better. The reflection from the sun on the water was reflecting up onto the roof of the cave highlighting it's fabulous textures and colours.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans week #36 - winner announcement!

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

Next frame from "Endangered Species" series. Pretty long exposure shot of a beautiful sunset at the Baltic Sea coast, nearby the gates to the port of Klaipeda. Pretty stormy skies, but still with touch of colors from the dawning sun at the horizon. A long piece of wood as a perfect foreground leading the eye to the endless sea. Enjoy the scenery!

During my October 2017 visit to Tangier, Morocco I had a chance to walk through the Medina (Old Town) of the city. It was truly an incredible experience. The alleyways wind and turn in a confusing labyrinth that I got lost in a few times! Besides the shops and vendors that were plentiful here, you could also get a sense of how locals live their daily lives from the many residences in this part of the city.

Douz Tunisia
Take a stroll between the expanses of sand and salt and the lush vegetation of the oases that cover the south of Tunisia.
This area is more authentic & quiet, more hospitable also compared to the hyper-touristy North where one has as much the impression of being on the Spanish coasts than in Tunisia.
It's amazing to see endless white sand dunes from the sand and I loved the fact that we got there just in time to watch the sunset! It is magic ! I will never forget this experience!

Thank you so much for this wonderful image!

Not at all..

I love the vibe of your shot ! feels like an old camera with the grain around the picture :)

Thank you!

Kolmanskop, Namibia

One of the most famous views from Kolmanskop - doorways blocked by sand dunes. You have very strange feeling when you walking inside house full of sand. Memento mori :)

I guess it is quite a sad sign of something going terribly wrong....

South Africa. What a great country. We spent 3 weeks overthere and we we hoping for the big 5.
And yes, we were even lucky to see the big 5 in one day. This leopard is one of them. I will never forget.

That's great you were able to accomplish your mission and even take some fab pictures.

Why go electric when you can ride a donkey and two wheels?
Marrakesh is full of those cute hard-working little donkeys, they can transport anything from food to garbage. They are mainly used because the medina streets in Marrakech are too small for other electric vehicles.

Like in the old days:)....

Ait Benhaddou, Morocco

Ait Benhaddou, the "fortified village", is an amazing place to visit. The mud brick village has been home to many film sets such as Gladiator and Game of Thrones (Yunkai) and today is a popular day trip from Marrakech.

I have also posted this photo on my blog.

It sure does look amazing and your image is a prove of it.

Cliff-path-at-Hermanus6.jpg
On your way to Cape Town, a short (or maybe longer) stop should be Hermanus. A few miles before you reach the town the Cliff Path begins. When you come near Hermanus, there will be plenty of cafes, where you can make a rest and enjoy the ocean.

What a wonderful place that is. Thank you for bringing it to our attention through my contest. Tomas

Cape Town - Boulders Beach

Welcome to Boulders Beach and say hello to these little friends. Yes, you can swim with penguins in this beach near Cape Town. If you're planning a visit, don't forget to add Boulders in your calender. First I was a little afraid but then, I saw that it's so safe, I started to get comfy with them!

That would so much fun. Thanks for the info. This is such a fun photo.

Thank you very much!

What a cute little fellas! Thank you so much for sharing with us this wonderful image.

Thank you too for hosting these contest, it's a pleasure to participate.

The afternoon sun strikes the Chyulu Hills in Tsavo West, Kenya. A land scape that is usually dry and grey has once again been transformed into lush green by the arrival of the rains.

Those landscape transformation during the rain season are just amazing and fascinating. Thanks ever so much for you contribution.


Golden hour at Nile, nearby Luxor, Egypt. Shot handheld from the top deck of small cruise ship. A boat with fishermen is making the scene much more interesting combined with beautiful colors of sunset.
All this bring very nice memories from the trip

Enjoy the scenery :)

Typical Africa on the photo in panorama mode. We can see horde of wildebeest that came to drink to the waterhole near Etosha Pan. It recalls amazing memories of being in the real nature in peace just watching all these amazing animals.

Valley of a 1000 Hills - KwaZulu-Natal South Africa.
Located between Durban and the provincial capital of Pietermaritzburg, this picturesque place meanders through valleys of dense foliage where traditional Zulu people still live today. It offers some of the most commanding views of the Drakensberg mountains and the Indian ocean.

The Thousand Hills route is best explored by car, as the road runs through the heart of the valley and offers some of the best views.

A sneaky shot I got of TUTANKHAMUN'S Death mask while I was at the Egypt Museum in Cairo. At the King Tut exhibit there was No camera aloud so I set up my hidden camera to get this pic ;) The museum has so many artifacts inside it is crazy! Most of them don't even have any information to go with them. You can spend a whole day there exploring the museum and still wont have enough time. I highly recommend visiting if you are ever in Cairo :)

The Sculpture at Nelson Mandela’s capture site outside Howick, KwaZulu-Natal. This was taken on Mandela day so you can see the flowers and messages left by people on that day.

The impressive sculpture by artist Marco Cianfanelli consists of 50 steel poles between 8 and 10 meters tall, arranged in a pattern that allows the viewer a flat image of the face of Nelson Mandela facing West, when approached from the foot path leading down towards it, exactly 35 meters away. From that position the laser-cut mild steel poles line up to create the illusion of a perfectly flat image.

The 50 steel columns represent the 50 years since his capture. They also portray the idea of many making a whole.

Nice Photo contest. Congratulations to winners.

Around 17% of Botswana territory is occupied by natural Parks or reserve, while another 20% is made up of controlled wildlife zone. The peculiarity of these areas are that they are managed by private individuals, or local communities.

I am very doubtful that this is your personal image as it is widely available on the internet. Plagiarism is something that will not be tolerated and I will definitely take an action against. From now on you are banned from any of my contests, unless you do have a prove this is your personal image.

It is not a plagiarized photo.. It is mine, I have also done works similar to this photo I posted, this is one of them also taken in botswanna

I tried looking for my photo on Google but all I saw were similar ones, I understand why you taught this was a photo from the internet, but t isnt.. You could check it out yourself.. Screenshot_20180531-071818.png

Here is the link fo the exact same photo....yours is just cropped... There are many sites with the exact same image. Would you kindly clarify the reason for that?
