7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans week #45 - winner announcement!

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

Hidden Gold of the Caribbean. Only by spending a lot of time underwater do you understand how sea treasures really look. It has nothing to do with man. It is a natural wealth and beauty. Every spark that flashed in the dark blue bears a part of this treasure. Fish are certainly one of them. Every find among the gently pricking branches of corals brings you joy. And if you stop and listen, you can feel the harmony of the sea. Bonaire Island, Caribbean Sea.

View of powdery sand beaches and crystal clear turquoise waters of the Akumal Bay. Akumal is a small coastal village located on the Mayan Riviera in Yucatan, Mexico. It is famous for being a feeding place of the green sea turtles who come very close to the shore sometimes.

Wonderful shades of blue!

Seattle Skyline

The Space Needle is the most iconic landmark in Seattle, but it does not only offer impressive architecture from the outside but also an unmatched view of Seattles skyline from the observation deck.

I love the view of Seattle from Kerry Park!

Thank you so much for your submission. Enjoy your weekend.

Thanks Tomas, you too!

Wasootch ridge 1.jpg

Another photo from Wasootch Ridge in Kananaskis, Alberta. This one is taken from above the ridge line! I don't know but the photo just resembles the spine of some old huge dinosaur that just rested there and created this awesome mountain. The views are absolutely surreal 360 degrees!

Arches National Park, Utah
My cousin works for the US National Park Service. Growing up I would visit him whenever I could, including his stint at Arches National Park in Utah. There are great hikes here and tons to explore. This is a shot through the appropriately named Window Arch.

Arches (2).jpg

This photo originally appeared in my blog It's July 4th - Happy Birthday America!

beautifully framed ~ 😄✨ ~

Thanks @whimsical-magic. The arch did most of the work ;)

Great shot. This is just right down the road from me. I need to make it down there when it cools off and go on some of those hikes.

Thanks man, I love that part of the States. Are you in Moab?

What a cool frame:)

I took this shot a few years ago while roaming around the Woodenshoe Tulip Festival which takes place in Woodburn, Oregon. It's a beautiful place that attracts visitors from all over the world. I didn't plan this shot out, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Happy Friday!

What a colorful photograph. Wonderful!

I appreciate it, Tomas!

Awesome shot. Great framing with those leading lines.

thanks man!

Wow ! Stunning shot !

Thank you!

My today’s photo is from my recent trip to USA.
Canyonlands National Park offers many amazing things to see and this arch is definitely one of them. It is called Mesa Arch and it offers an amazing view on the canyon. We were there quite early at about 9 am, but it is even much nicer if you can get up early and come there for sunrise…

Thanks mate :)

Autumn in Utah is gorgeous. I love seeing all the different colors of the trees in the mountains.
This is a shot I took in September on Nebo Loop. Utah Lake is in the distance.

There are so many shots from Utah today. These colors are great. Awesome job.

Thanks. You are right...Utah representing!

Awesome image!

Thank you very much. It is great to see so many beautiful images from all over the world with your contest.

Sunset over lake of the sky - Lake Tahoe California

Screen Shot 2018-08-03 at 8.43.42 am.png
Ah sunset, makes for the best photos. Add some wild fires to mute the colours and some seasonal trees canopy changes and we are in business. Here is a shot from the left side of Lake Tahoe, North America looking down towards some beautiful wild country of the Sierra Nevada.

Original photo that was also posted on my blog @snowyknight - Enjoy!

Amazing piece of nature. Great entry.

Thank you @czechglobalhosts. I am trying to up my game to compete with the crazy awesome work here!

Miami’s Versace Mansion is the third most photographed home in America, after the White House and Graceland. Perhaps that’s due to its opulent, Mediterranean revivalist architecture. Perhaps it’s because of its association with one of the most famous fashion brands in the world. Or perhaps it’s related to its grisly history as the place where Andrew Cunanan murdered Gianni Versace

That sure is one hell of a house!

I remember staring in the depths of this landscape gave me such a peaceful feeling. Every inch of this view shows you another color and shape and if you look closely you can see this group of horseriders. I always wandered how they experienced this grandeur since they are right in the middle of it.. Bryce Canyon, USA

What an amazing picture and beautiful place.

One World Trade Center

The mirrored windows of the One World Trade Center mix with the sky in New York.

It is the main building of the reconstructed World Trade Center complex located in Lower Manhattan, New York. It is the tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere and the sixth tallest skyscraper in the world

A few years ago, I did a road trip in Louisiana, USA. It was a cool experience and got the chance to admire some nice scenery along the way. Here, a nice afternoon spent along the river.

Casting For King Salmon

When the salmon run starts in the fall it attracts a lot of fishermen. And it looks like a great morning to fish for King Salmon on the Chetco River in Brookings Oregon USA.

Congratulations to the @eoj.
I commented about this picture last week. It is worth winning the competition.

Shukriya @adnan556644, I appreciate the compliment! How has monsoon season been treating you over there in Lahore?
