@axeman Asian Sunday entry:

Having general bus tourist trip around the Dubai one day, that wasn't really too much time to spend at the observation deck of famous Burj Khalifa, maybe some 30 mins only. And was quite lucky by this time to have a scheduled performance of also famous Burj Khalifa dancing fountains and to see it from very unusual point of view - from almost 500 meters top. So here we have the smiling city warmly welcoming the tourists from all over the world. Enjoy it!

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - African Wednesday week #49 - winner announcement!

@derangedvisions African Wednesday entry:

It has been a while since I entered anything in African Wednesday. The series I shot of these three farm boys while I was in Tanzania turned out to be some of my favorite shots of the time I spent there. I was on my way in to a Maasai church and these boys came down the path to see us. After I got some shots of them, they followed me into the church and we played some games during the service and I almost got them beat by some of the village elders because they were being disruptive.

When I look through my photos from South America I'm always drawn back to Rio de Janeiro. It's by far my favorite city in South America. I don't know if it's the fun beaches, or the sugarloaf mountains surrounding them, but arriving here always puts a smile on my face. I took this photo during my visit in 2015 walking around a marina. If you look closely you can see Christ the Redeemer in the background!

Andes, Ecuador

The Andes are a spectacular mountain range, but only its highest peaks are covered in snow. In fact, there are settlements located at over 5000m since the temperatures are quite warm due to the proximity to the equator!

Sunset from home, this beautiful red sky that seems to be on fire, I captured yesterday afternoon from the front of my house on the beautiful Margarita island Venezuela, although from this part of the island it is usual to see this type of sunsets today I wanted share it in this weekly photography challenge. This picture was taken with my Samsung s4 cell phone.

What a beautiful sky! Well done.

This photograph is a little trip, from a trip I made in my country, almost 24 hours from my city, to visit one of the oldest places in the world, since it has rocks that belong to the Pre Cambrico period. It is really old. This is known as the Gran Sabana or Canaima, where there are some beautiful highlands called "tepuyes". These "tepuyes" are those that have millions and millions of years. It is believed that this part of Venezuela was united with Africa when there was only one continent, called "Pange". This is said by the geographic similarity with some points of Africa, the similar rocks and some fossils found in this area, of extinct animals that were only located in Africa.

What an interesting entry with some great information. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful Sunday.

Say hello to this beautiful Galapagos land iguana!
Most of them are located on Cerro Dragon, or "Dragon Hill” island. A rocky, low-lying hill on the northwestern side of Santa Cruz Island. They look scary, but they are not aggressive at all. This one looks like he was posing for the camera :)

The best thing about learning photography is the pleasure of applying what we study in nature. Exploring not only makes us feel alive, but also gifts us with the best classroom. This is an experiment with long exposure without a ND filter.

A village in Agua de Vaca - Margarita Island - Venezuela
20180821_164836.png
This is the name of a village that means "cow water", and is one of many villages that are found on the island. At that time I wanted to take the opportunity to take this great view from the roof of a house where my father and I had been working for some years. It is seen that this is a very nice place to live and it is a few minutes from the beach.

GREEN BEACH, GALÁPAGOS

The Galapagos Islands are a group of 14 islands and a series of islets located 972 kilometers from the Ecuadorian mainland. The islands, their national park and the marine biological reserve form the only province that is completely surrounded by water. Of volcanic origin, the Galápagos welcome unique species such as iguanas, Galápagos tortoises, albatrosses, pikemen and sea lions, among many others. The particular mixture of flora and fauna and the unique way in which many species evolved served as the object of study of the scientist Charles Darwin for his publications on the origin of the species.

Before arriving at "Caripe El Guácharo" (Monagas, Venezuela) you must go a long way. As I once mentioned, its fame is due to its climate and vegetation. From the heights and on the way you can see a variety of plants and you can see the incredible climate of the place.
