@rinawonderlans Asian Sunday entry:

I woke up to see a sunrise,and luckily there is also a little rainbow over the sky, which is rare to see here. It's beautiful eventhought it's not a full one. The colorful sky, give a reflection color to the sea and sand. I took this pretty picture in Candidasa beach, a relaxed spot on the east Bali where you could snorkel.

@vinceboisgard Australian Monday entry:

Queenstown is a cute little town located on the south island of New Zealand. It build on the raffle of a gigantic lake and surrounded by the mountains. Here is a capture I shot while wandering around the lake. This man was sitting on the small pierre, chilling by the water under the branches of the tree. I wasn't going to Disturbed, so I waited patiently for him to stand up and leave!

This is a view of the North Atlantic Ocean in Iceland somewhere west of Reykjavik. The reason I don't know anything more about this photo? I was in a vehicle headed to a gorge and glacier in Borgarbyggð. Mostly I love this photo because I almost never get a good photo from a moving vehicle!

Sometimes, if only for a moment, time seems to stand still. It’s amazing to think that 91% of the iceberg is hidden under the water. Iceberg floating of the coast of South East Alaska. It’s a single hand held exposure taken from a moving boat.

Wow, breathtaking capture! I thought it really is Antarctica at the first glance :)

I thought so too ;)

;-)

Thanks mate.

That's beautiful! Wish I have the chance to see this in real life someday!

Thanks. Appreciate your support.

Wow, great shot!!

Thanks!

Incredible shot!

Thanks

How cool is it to be able to see that closeup from the water!

Very cool !

That's amazing! Congrats!

Thanks! Very kind of you.

Brilliant!

Thanks. Appreciate the support and the chance to enter your competitions !


After very cold period of time the Curonian gulf pretty often get completely frozen. Since it has always some stream to the sea, a lot of ice pieces sticking together in very interesting forms. So that's a good time to go there and have some interesting winter landscape photos.
And if sunset is colourful, you are getting totally stunning views. Here used very low shooting point, so this piece of ice looks much more bigger than in reality

Enjoy it!

Amazing mate.

Wooooow...

That is just amazing! Seeing the sunset through the ice is so cool!

That breaking ice is cool!

Thank you so much for your great submission. Tomas

Low Tide

2017-12-13 19-37-49 - _DSC5553-Edit_800px-2.jpg

While my family was chilling on Praia do Amado in Algarve, Portugal, I made some scouting around and found a stony beach with the lovely pebbles hidden in the rocks. It looked promising, so I checked the sun position in Sun Surveyor and tide schedule in Tides Charts Near Me and realized there could be a possibility for a sunset photo. When I back there in the evening I wasn't disappointed. Low tide exposed the stone seabed with numerous pools. The soft clouds worked just amazing with the sharp texture of the stones creating together the strong leading lines to the rock.

Nice photo!

Thank you!

Beautiful click!

A fisherman looking for muscles and oysters, wandering around the beach with his knife, walking in the water.

This is the view I had while resting on Uluwatu's beach while enjoying the sunset over the sea.

The man looked like a lost soul in an infinite ocean.

Location: Bali, Indonesia.

Thank you for submitting this beautiful image!

One of my favourite beaches in Portugal is Praia da Marinha at the Algarve. Yellow sand and a steep coastline with lots of big rocks offer beautiful views and lots of opportunities for photographers...

Nice photo! Love the color combination that gives this photo its personality. Good luck!

Stunning as always. Thank you so much for your participation. Tomas

What is the ocean without its inhabitants? All his magic in life.
I adore diving and looking at a variety of sea creatures. The closer they are, the better. This applies to everyone. Even such as these 3-4-meter bull sharks. This is a very impressive sight when dozens of sharks sweep alongside you. If I still have this opportunity, I will definitely use it.
Fiji, Begua Lagoon.

Very cool photo! I used to go diving when I lived in Palau for one year. It was definitely a memorable experience! Good luck in the contest!

Wow, I would have freaked out big time! What a cool image. Tomas

The Portland Head Light guards the rocky Atlantic coast of Maine. I was fortunate to have dramatic clouds when I was here, and the tide was perfect for photographing waves washing over but not covering the rocks. One of those times where everything comes together in a satisfying way. :)

Portland Head Lighthouse

What a beautiful image! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. Have a great day and stay tuned for the winner announcement coming soon. Tomas

Superb take on one of my favorite lighthouses in the US! The smooth water washing over the textured rocks is just lovely. Good luck in the contest!

Thanks! Yes, I like how you can get down on the rocks here. :D

Baltic Sea

I travelled by boat from Saint Petersburg to Helsinki. The trip took 13 hours and was done overnight. This picture was taken just before sunset and the water looked very calm here. But the sea was quite rough during the night and it was on this trip that I found out that, unfortunately, I can get very sea sick.

So peaceful! Stunning shot. Tomas

Thank you! :)

A shot taken near Tromsø, the largest city of northern Norway. This is a common starting point for a lot of northern light trips expedition, and sometimes the northern light can be seen shining just over the city.

I was there a few years back! An amazing place!

By dint of perseverance, nature sometimes offers us unique, exceptional moments, accepting us as the only witness. This underwater view of a baby dugong following the wave of his mother is one of the most beautiful memories I will have of my stopovers in Vanuatu.

That is just breath-taking! Thank you so much for sharing. Tomas

Thank you for your compliment and your upvote. I will try to post others photography for this contest. And congrats for your initiative.

Gandoca - Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge is situated in one of the most stunningly beautiful regions of Costa Rica. The humid tropical rainforest is located just a few kilometers north of the Panama border. This is an amazing place to visit, but do yourself a favor and go with a guide who knows the area.

Nice photo!

@gabyoraa Glad you like it! Thanks and smile :)

Jelly fish are such beautiful and diverse creatures, at least to look at. They can be find mostly in warmer waters but unfortunately you won't have any light there. So some special aquarium might give you some better chances to take a picture of that amazing beauties...

This photo is kind of special to me. It is the Azure Window, the iconic landmark of Malta that, unfortunately, doesn’t exist anymore. This astonishing limestone arch collapsed into the sea in March 2017 as irresponsible tourists kept walking on it, despite the warning signs all around it. I used to live on the island of Gozo where the Azure Window was located and visited this beautiful place several times.

IMG_20140103_134223.jpg

I just posted a picture of this yesterday. It is sad that it's gone. I was there just 2 weeks before the storm swallowed the arch.

Just checked that post and uvpoted it, you took a nice shot of it ;) We should be really glad we could see this beauty standing there...

I was in Rome when I saw a post on Reddit that it was gone. That news ruined my entire day. I am thrilled to have had the opportunity, but sad that so many others are robbed of that chance. I sat there and just stared for about 2 hours, before catching the last possible bus back to the Ferry.

it was a magical place indeed... standing there for thousands of years, maybe even more... and we were are among the last people to see that... btw did you also visit the Ta Pinu Church? it is on Gozo too and this place has an amazing atmoshpere too... I wrote a post about it... https://steemit.com/architecturalphotography/@phortun/ta-pinu-basilica-on-maltese-island-of-gozo-place-where-miracles-happen

I passed by it, but there seemed to be construction going on or something, so just kept on going. I'll read your post; thanks for the link.

Cool shot! I remember we talked about this in some previous post =)

Yep, we did ;)

The Bounty Island is a tiny tiny island close to Nadi, Fiji. It is a popular destination for day trippers since it is so close. It is a mini resort island with golden beaches, a small swimming pool and water activities. This photo is taken on approach to the island from a ferry.

Nice to see you here! =)

Hi :)

This photo was taken by the beach in Lindos, a town on the Greek island of Rhodes. You can imagine how fantastic it is to swim in this crystal clear water of the Mediterranean Sea. Lindos is also known for its historical temples, old castles, whitewashed churches and clifftop acropolis.

The photo I want to share would be the stunning beach at Blueys Beach. The water was so blue no wonder its called Blueys. There was literally nobody on the beach and the only thing you could hear was the sound of waves. What a great way to relax and enjoy the sun.

awesome photografhy friend like it😊

Croatia Seaside View

Climbing atop Veliki Kabal will afford you this stunning view of Split, (upper right) and Podstrana, (bottom), along with several of the hundreds of islands belonging to Croatia. Along the way, there is a restaurant with a dalmatian grill that you can recharge your batteries at, if you're lucky enough to be there while it's in season.

While traveling Europe for over a year, Croatia was my favorite country to hide out in and let my passport cool down for the Shengen area. Expat alert! Go to Croatia; pick a city, any city! They are all breath taking!

This photgraph taken near Graville on the west coast of Tasmania Australia. With the sun setting out over the Southern Ocean. I was camping there for a couple of days it was beautiful spot.

My today's entry is from Indian Ocean. It is simple photo of sun going down and I was watching it from the beach on Seychelles with my girlfriend. Specialty on the photo is lonely boat in the middle of the ocean.

This Antarctic fur seal was not too impressed by the boat load of visitors that had come to check out the old whaling station at Deception Island on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Great photography.it is good article post

Excellent photo brother, I imagine that you must have the ability, patience or luck to achieve a photo at the ideal time

I was fishing with my dad one day last summer in the Norwegian sea, but that day was super hot so I decided to jump into the cold sea. I'm swimming in the Norwegian sea there, but further out it's the Atlantic ocean.
