Hello fellow Steemians!
Welcome to my 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - North American Friday - where the winner of the weekly round will be able to participate for the total of 200 SBD! Today, you can participate by submitting your personal pictures from your travels to the continent of North America.
See the winner of the last week´s North American Friday @crazy-andy with the following entry:
On the photo below you can see one of many amazing USA State Parks. This one is located in Utah and I have visited it on my first trip to USA in 2014. There is a funny anecdote from this year’s Utah visit, when we also planned to visit it, but then we realized just few miles before the park, that we don’t have enough fuel and turn around. We came back to Moab’s gas station with fuel for only 4 miles left. So it was a smart decision at the end.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Australian Monday week #37 - winner announcement!
@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:
When I was travelling through Australia I spent two days on the Great Ocean Road. The weather was quite grey and I didn't get good light for the first day and a half. And also the last evening didn't look different. I still went down to the Gibson Steps and waited. This light was the reward.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - European Thursday week #37 - winner announcement!
@davedavis91 European Thursday entry:
European?! Well let's see what I have. I took this shot about a year ago in Saxony, Germany, very close to the Czech Border. A well hidden treasure that got famous through RedBull and Instagram. A park in which a half round Bridge forms a perfect circle in its own reflection. Surrounded by Trees and abstract rock formations. Magical place. The autumn colors round it up to a perfect frame!

The contrasting clouds create a nice degree of depth in this image along with superb lighting. Cathedral Rock is looking just marvelous as it brings peace, joy and wonderment to my spirit. I see this as nature giving us a visual treat to calm our busy minds. Sedona Arizona USA.

It's not often you get a sense of stillness at Athabasca falls. This shot was taken last spring looking through the canyon downstream of the falls. The shoulder seasons are nice in places like Athabasca so one can experience them without the crowds. People fall into this canyon almost every year and most don't live to tell the tale. Athabasca Falls, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

New York is called by many nicknames. Its “city that never sleeps”, “concrete jungle where dreams are made of”, but probably most known nickname is “The Big Apple”. There are several theories where this nickname came from, but the most likely version is from the sports writer John J. Fitz Gerald, who wrote for The Morning Telegraph and who was first who called New York “The Big Apple” in 1920.
Ahoj!

This is a picture I took a couple of days ago in BC, Canada. It was somewhere along the Wetlands on the way from Golden to Fernie. I had seen these never ending trains a couple of times and I told my girlfriend that I would absolution love to get a good shot of one, so I made it my mission to find the best spot possible and I am super happy with the outcome!

This is the McLean House in Appomattox, VA. This is where the Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant in 1865, essentially ending the Civil War.
Many people think that the surrender was done at the courthouse, which is just a short walk up the road, but it was done in the first room to the left as you enter the home, with Lee on the left side of the room and Grant on the right.

Time to go for a climb
Got to get up early as the days are short this time of year. Here in the Sierra Nevada of California, getting up early for a climb also helps you stay of of harm's way from the potential for afternoon showers. The alpine glow on the rocks makes it a bit more appealing as only a few minutes before it was very very cold. Time to go climb some of the worlds best granite!

Mauna Kea, Big Island, Hawaii
Mauna kea is the highest peak on the Big Island. It is 4,207 m (13,802 ft) above sea level but measured from its base together with the underwater part, it is over over 10,000 m (33,000 ft) tall and is the tallest mountain on Earth. Thanks to its high elevation, dry environment and stable weather conditions, Mauna Kea's summit is one of the best sites in the world for astronomical observations. Since the creation of an access road in 1964, thirteen telescopes funded by eleven countries have been constructed at the summit.

Cool photo @libork, but this photo is not in a part of the world that is in North America (it is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean). Perhaps resubmit this awesome photo on they day he hosts the oceans contest?

Yep, you are right.
But I was not sure myself where to put my pictures from Hawaii and I asked @czechglobalhosts, the organizer.

With almost 1,900km, Yonge Street is officially the longest road in the world and is even in the Guinness Book of Records. It begins in Toronto, directly on the shores of Lake Ontario and ends in northern Ontario. Besides its incredible length, Yonge Street is also the most central and important street in downtown Toronto. It is well visited at any time of the day or night, especially at the intersection with Dundas Street, where this photo was taken. I particularly liked the atmosphere at dusk there and tried to capture it photographically.
