@jpphotography Asian Sunday entry:

The Malaysian island Langkawi is an amazing place to explore by scooter! After one day of driving around the island, I found myself looking at this beautiful sunset, so I stopped on the roadside to capture the silhouette of this mosque in the last light of the day.

@intrepidphotos Australian Monday entry:

The Natural Bridge is a naturally formed rock arch over Cave Creek, a tributary of the Nerang River. It was formed from a waterfall which undercut a cave beneath the waterfall and dug a pothole on top, until the two joined and the creek flowed through the cave, leaving an arch across the front. The bridge is located in Springbrook National Park in the Gold Coast hinterland of Queensland, Australia.

@mibreit-photo African Wednesday entry:

Something from the beautiful Seychelles again. I had the pleasure to visit La Digue for the second time a few weeks ago. Anse Source D'Argent was one of the beaches I came to for sunset every second day until I got a photo I was satisfied with. No blazing sunset, but a beautiful, calm blue hour.

Last week, I rediscovered some old photos in a photo editing app on my iPhone. From each phone upgrade, these photos remained in the app dating back 4 years. This was one of those photos. It's from my trip to Costa Rica in May 2014 to celebrate a friend's birthday. We stayed at Villas Hermosas, a small villa on the west coast in Puntarenas. The hosts were beyond incredible and made the weekend even better. I loved this swing on the path to the beach positioned perfectly for a view of the ocean. I'm so happy I found this photo!

I can't wait to sit in a swing like this, feel the nice breeze and stare out at the beach. Great shot. It is nice and peaceful.

Photo of the Carrao River in Canaima National Park at the Venezuelan Amazonia. In this part of the country the main media of transport is by boat. At the background of the image there are some “flat hills”, a sort of plateau, which are characteristic of this landscapes. They are called "tepuys”.

Sunrise over Coyhaique, Chile.

On this chilly July morning a few years ago, I climbed up to a nearby vantage point where I could look out across the landscape. It was still dark when I arrived, and the light had barely begun to peak over the horizon. However, as the sun eventually peaked over the mountain tops it illuminated the smoke from the thousands of wood fires burning in people's homes on this sleepy morning.

This is a beautiful shot. The layer of smoke from the homes gives such a cool effect to it. Amazing entry.

Thanks, I agree! When the sun hit the smoke layer it created such a cool effect.

Tremendous entry! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us.

I traveled 2015 to the beautiful Torres del Paine Nationalpark in Chile. Here is a photo of the famous mountains with the dark brown tops. A beautiful sight at any time, but especially enticing when the sunset makes the mountains glow in a burning orange.

Absolutely beautiful!

This is an amazing image. Thank you for sharing it with us. The colors and everything make it look like a painting.

Truly stunning image! What a great submission. Thank you for that!

The megaliths of Saksaywaman in Cusco, it was amazing to see these giant stones. Some of the stones weigh up to 200 tonnes and they are all carved perfectly to fit together to form these walls. I heard that the only other place in the world were they have found the same style wall construction is on Easter Island at the base of the Moai statues.

Thank you so much for your contribution! Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on today. Tomas

This is a view of downtown Bogota, Colombia at dusk. Downtown isn't the most picturesque part of the city but it looks interesting at night, and even more interesting at dusk with some color still in the sky.

Thank you so much for your submission! Great entry.

This is the beautiful Cotopaxi volcano (Ecuador) with its 5897 meters high, when it is clear that it allows an exceptional shot, it is one of the highest active volcanoes in the world. It is a special place and you can walk up to its top. And today I wanted to share it with you, I hope you like Tomas ...

Fabulous! Thank you so much for sharing!


The bay of Juan Griego in Venezuela surprises us once again with its magical sunsets. It's amazing how every day you can photograph these sunsets in different tones. It's because of this and more than every day there are people taking pictures and others wanting to visit the place to contemplate this natural beauty.

Wow, looks like an ocean is on fire:)


This is my view while hiking in the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, one of the most amazing places I've ever been. Here you can see the gigantic granite peaks, the simble of the park.

Thank you so much for submitting your fantastic image to my contest. Kindly stay tune for the winner announcement coming later on today. Tomas

wild.jpg

i took this photo in one of my adventures to a pines forest, we have to pass through a little river, and in that place " i saw this photo in my mind " and i told to a friend to take me the photo (i'm the one in the picture)

For me, this photo is called "Wild Man" because this was just the started of my into the wild adventures and it looks like i'm going to nowhere but just to the wild.

i recently uploaded a short version video of these adventures if you wanna se more. it is on my profile.

This is in San cristobal - Venezuela

Cool shot, but that looks a little too high up for me. True Wild Man right there.

Monument to Peace (also called Virgen de la Paz) is a commemorative sculpture of the Virgin Mary, made entirely in concrete, is located 11 km southwest of the city of Trujillo, in Venezuela. It is 46.72 meters high, 16 meters wide, 18 deep at the base and weighs about 1200 tons. It is the tallest habitable sculpture in America, being centimeters taller than the Statue of Liberty in New York and the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. It is also the statue dedicated to the highest Virgin Mary in the world.

The Gran Sabana is a region located southeast of Venezuela. The Gran Sabana has 10,820 km² of extension, and is part of one of the most extensive national parks in Venezuela, the Canaima National Park. The place offers unique landscapes around the world, has rivers, waterfalls and streams, deep and extensive valleys, impenetrable forests, and savannahs that host a large number and variety of plant species, a diverse fauna, and the plateaus better known as tepuyes .

Here is my first entry for South American contest. Our Esthetic Line Medical team going for a big campaign to join at Brazil. This lovely place at rio de janeiro, rio de janeiro. I can't explain their beauty because of that place was just awesome. We have lots of memory of Brazilian place. This is my first entry & I'm so excited for that & want to join every time to South American photo contest.

Machu Picchu is one of those places where its almost impossible to get a bad shot. In my case, I had no clue as a puddle of water had rendered my iphone screen useless, but not the phone itself. I wandered around taking photos without being able to see what I was capturing. Since 2011, this has been my Iphone background.

Patagonia.
Name says it all. Fresh snow at the top of the photo. Glacial valleys, expansive views. Virgin forests. One lane roads carved through it all. This photo is from my drone at about 300 m above the ground to give perspective of the glacial valleys etc. I like the long glacial lake here along the valley.
