7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #29 – winner announcement!

@best-trip-eva Asian Sunday entry:

Sunrise at Mt. Rinjani (3,726 meters or 12,224 ft). This is the second highest volcano in Indonesia. Mt. Agung - the highest volcano on Bali island, which recently erupted - is visible on the back-right. All three of the Gili Islands can be seen before it. On the left side in the clouds the perfect cone shape of Rinjani is visible. The picture was taken the end of August 2017 and the trekking of the volcano was the highlight of my journey in Indonesia.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #29 – winner announcement!

@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:

On my first visit to New Zealand I spent a night in downtown Auckland. Early in the morning I made my way to a bridge from where I could overlook the skyline and some interesting intersections below. With a longtime exposure I could create a nice effect for the photo.

Considering I live in Los Angeles, I guess it's not surprising that I have more photos of the Pacific Ocean than any other body of water. This photo is from my trip to Puerto Vallarta last month when we chartered a boat for the day to cruise around. We saw this group of people kite surfing off the coast of PV. It looks like they enjoyed their day as much as we did!

I have always wanted to try this. Great shot.

Tropical storm forming over empty beach in Xcacel, little coastal town on Riviera Maya Mexico. The clouds look very formidable and it usually does bring some heavy rain but it normally lasts only a few minutes and then, the sun starts shining again in the Caribbean.

This looks so relaxing. This is where I need to be right now. Great shot.

Welcome to My Happy Place ;) Glad you like it!
@derangedvisions

What a great image! Thank you for taking part in the challenge and showing your support!

Lhoknga is one of the best coastal areas in the greater Aceh face to the Indian Ocean. Therefore Lhoknga is one of the best sunset locations in Aceh. Almost every day and especially on Sunday crowded young people who come to enjoy and capture the sunset in Lhoknga. One of them is Sunset Surf Cafe which is a cafe directly opposite to the sunset.

Selamat ya

thank you brother
I am sorry for your photo. because I am sure that it is the original of your work. geurutee moments are always the same so people who have never been to geurutee what will think that your photo is not original.

Splendid! Thank you so much for your participation and this amazing image! Tomas

thank you for the appreciation, hopefully give motivation and spirit to me to always find and produce the best photo and moment in the future.

Paradise! That is the best word to describe this photo. It was taken during our holidays on Seychelles. Beach on the photo is called Anse Lazio and is my favorite beach I have ever seen. The best part of it is that this beach is even nicer live than on the photo.

All these beach shots are making me want to go to the beach. Amazing.

So peaceful! Great shot, amazing contribution the contest.

Blue night and moonlight in Darwin. It is good to come by the ocean during summer to catch the fresh wind coming. You can seat at the very end of the rock and appreciate this quality tropical night session :)

Thank you so much for your contribution and support! It is truly appreciated.

Reyðarfjörður


The ocean doesn't always hit on beautiful white sand beaches but rather on high cliffs, rocky beaches, fjords, lagoons, populated coastlines and so on. It's really amazing how the combination of water, weather and land mass forms unique and beautiful coastlines.
Here you see the Reyðarfjörður, a Fjord, in the western part of Iceland. Referring to the Landnámabók, an old icelandic book about the settlement of the island by the Norse, the settlers hit along this coast line about 850.
We were lucky and saw this incredible Fjord snow covered and some sunshine:)

Such a magnificent large scale shot. Great job.

Thank you so much for the compliment:)

That looks just spectacular, like from the cartoon or movie set!


Phantasmagorical colours during sunset at Baltic Sea, Lithuania. Well, this time a bit played in post-production to get them quite unrealistic, but still beautiful combination
This time was pretty unusual shot - was staying in the water and shooting handheld to get necessary corner of view :) Good that was summertime

Enjoy it!

so beautiful!

This is so stunning! Phantasmagorical is the perfect word to describe those colours 😻

Those colors are just phenomenal! What a perfect image to feature in my color-challenge selection at some point:)....

The archipelago of Raja Ampat is located on the route between the Pacific and Indian oceans. The water here is full of life. It is here that you can see in one place black and white manta-rays.
Places where there are these graceful rays always attract attention. Black mantles are even rarer. A good chance to see them is only in remote parts of Indonesia.

White and black manta ray

Just amazing!

Waiting for the sunset is not bored because the sunset is very beautiful because it can produce a variety of colors during sunset. I really like waiting and waiting for the sunset every afternoon I watch the sunset. I took this photo at a tourist spot located in Aceh Besar tourist place is in subdistrict lhung village lhoksedu. Shooting photos of this sunset I use a smartphone camera samsung galaxy grand2. Where there is a lack in this photo please advice me, I really appreciate his suggestion.

Beautiful sunset bro

Truly stunning!

Antarctica has some of the most surreal landscapes, this is Hannah Point in the South Shetland Islands, its a great place to visit colonies of gentoo and chinstrap penguins, which you can see walking along the beach. We also came across a large group of elephant seals here too.

This looks like something off of a movie set. Beautiful.

It does, the landscapes are amazing down there!

That sure looks surreal! Thank you so much for your beautiful entry!

No probs!!

6am sunrise from the boat in Mabul, Borneo on our way to a diving site. Although I don't like to wake up so early, the sunrise dive is my favorite of the day. The ocean is beaming with life as all the creatures underneath wake up. The sunrise is always a surprise as you never know what it will be like. Everyone on the boat is usually quiet and nobody is talking because how could we, as this magical day is unfolding.

Thank you so much for your wonderful submission. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement post coming later on today. Tomas

very beautiful

Sun rising over the Ligurian Sea (an arm of the Mediterranean Sea) in Nice, French Riviera, France. I took this image from the city's main seaside promenade, the Promenade des Anglais (the English Promenade) in October 2016. The sea was still warm enough for swimming.

Gili Meno always authentic, it's really great to walk or bike there (some hotels provide free bicycles); there are not too many tourists, the island is well maintained, the coast is superb, beautiful beaches, amazing sunrises and sunsets, splendid coconut groves.

Beach Gili- Indonesia

The Cabot Trail here winds along the western coast of Cape Breton island, Nova Scotia, Canada. Hiking out along the Skyline Trail, part of the Highlands National Park, awards you with this incredible view of the coast, the road, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

What an amazing image! Wish there was just bit more ocean to really go with the theme of the challenge. Tomas

Yeah, I know, not the best for the theme, but I appreciate the color challenge share! :D

The harlequin ghostpipefish. Not easy to spot for divers. You can find them in the Western Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and Red sea.
They are unique, elegant and extremely beautiful.

Good shot
I like underwater

Woe, they look so beautiful, and what an interesting array of colours. It looks more like a drifting piece of algae than a fish!

I was traveling outside of Tangier, Morocco on the way to Ceuta when I came upon this scene. It was so tranquil that I need to stop and take some photos. The coastline of Morocco on the Mediterranean side is just beautiful. Very windy it seems most of the time but just beautiful.

the west coast of Aceh which is facing directly to the ocean ​​hindia. provides an exotic scene. just as the beach is at the foot of the mountain geurute aceh. the views are presented from the top of the mountain geurute. we will see the stretch of white sand that is so charming and the vast ocean so quiet. it is one of the most publicized beaches. because when we rest at the top of the mountain geurute. we will always take a camera to document the beauty of the sea.

This brilliant sunset is given to us by the bay of Juan Griego on the Isla de Margarita, in Venezuela. The best place on this island to see wonders like this, where it is always good to pass by here to feel a little more relaxed and stop being stressed from the everyday life.

We were hunting down the Blue Room on Curacao, a little cove you have to dive under a rock ledge to be able to enter. Very adventures and this is when I snapped this picture, even though it has nothing to do with the cove, it's my favorite one of that day.

One year ago i traveled per ship from Buenos Aires via Falkland Islands to Antarctica. You see these swimming icebergs everywhere, with amazing blue colors and very sharp ice formations where it has broken off.
