Only one picture can be submitted for a daily photo challenge. The rule number one is to use only personal images. Ten winning photos will receive an upvote from me from which I will pick one winner that will receive extended publicity in my post tomorrow morning.

The winner of daily challenge then competes against winners from other continental challenges of the respective week to receive the price of 20 SBD.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #17 – winner announcement!
@narchuk Asian Sunday entry:
At the Philippines I go to dive, most of the day I spend in the water or on a boat. Do not forget the night dive. As a result, I have very little time for sunrises and sunsets.
This time we returned from diving, and I watched the sun go down into the ocean. It happened at the moment when the boat hit the shore. I had to jump right into the water together with the underwater box. I did not have time to get another camera.
I was lucky. In addition to the beautiful sunset, I saw a turtle swimming alongside. A few minutes before it was dark, we swam together.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #17 – winner announcement!
@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:
Here's my favorite photo from New Zealand. I took it a year ago in Tongariro National Park. It was quite cloudy as we arrived in the Park and we couldn't see the peaks yet. But I hiked to Tama Lakes anyways, hoping for a change. As the clouds then broke and revealed Mount Ruapehu it was an awesome sight.

This is the South China Sea along the coast of Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. KK as it's generally referred to as, is on the northwest coast of the island of Borneo. Even though KK is a large state capital (of Sabah) and a major gateway to Borneo, it still has a distinct laid back island feel to it. My visit here was quick but I enjoyed it tremendously.
Thank you so much for your continued support and participation. Have a good one. Tomas
Milford Sound
Frozen water on top of the mountain, falling down the water fall, into the water and vaporizing again because of the sun and heat. It's an endless cycle - cycle of life! On our boat trip we saw penguins, dolphins and sea lions. All of them depend on the oceans water. So let us protect it!
Great entry and an amazing image. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. Have a great day and stay tuned for the winner announcement post. Tomas
Scooting far beyond, seeking for this imaginary place where the sky mixes with water... What we like to call the horizon line.
Lost in the colourful water while the 2 thins are poping out of the water!
Everyone is at the rendez vous, even this bird flying over the turquoise water looking for something to feed on.
Monkey Mia is a strange place out of a dream where the water is probably as coulorfull as you can imagine it in a dream. It is also a place where from the beach, you can see dolphins feeding every morning.
Location: Monkey Mia, Australia.
Beautiful northwest coast water, amazing colours!
Thank you 😀
What an amazing image and great entry. Thank you so much. Tomas
Thank you very much. It's always a pleasure to participate to your contest Tomas.
Oh, finally.. :D So just reposting from the last week this time
Volcanoes in Baltic? What? You would say impossible? Well, that depends on the point of view in fact.
Shot at very cold winter evening (if remember right was some -20 degrees) and with very low shooting point and extra wide lens.
So visually its really looks like a volcano :D
Enjoy the scenery!

Great capture and fabulous image. Thank you for sharing with all of us. Tomas
One of the most beautiful beaches of Portugal is Praia da Ursa near Lisbon. With its fine sand, red rocks and turquoise water it looks like paradise. Because of its secluded location it is kind of a insider tip without masses of tourists. You have to hike down a steep and rocky path for half an hour to get there. But it is definitely worth the effort ;)

Stunning image, what else to say. Thank you so much for your support. Tomas
Hey Tomas, i know its a bit late (struggling with time difference here in Austalia!) but id like to enter a picture from the latest #shorebreaksessions series im running:
This is the indian ocean in all its rawness, power and beauty. There were a lot of lefthanders coming through and id been washed further up the beach where its a bit more shallow. I saw this wide one coming and it started to peak up on the right. It was one of the heaviest waves of the session and i payed the price for this shot - getting dragged back over the falls and into the tumble dryer. Needless to say it was worth it for this beauty!
Thanks again for hosting the world continent challenge legend!
No worries, I was bit messed up myself over the past 3 or 4 weeks due to my travels. I am back on track starting today though:).... What a great entry. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement that will be coming in the separate post later on today. Tomas
A huge flock of caruncles fills the entire space from the bottom to the surface. People were lost in it. Sometimes she was at peace. But then came into motion. Then it seemed that the water itself comes to life.
Wow , what a beauty ! My biggest regret in life is that I can only snorkle , as I have an internal ear problem ....
Great view thanks !
Very pity. But you can see a lot on the surface.
Turtles, seals and even whales!
:) I went whale watching last summer ! I will put on some pics but they are not very good ...
You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote!
merci ! :)
O! I was also on whale watching this year.
at Vava'u Tonga
It's really not easy to shoot there.
For me it was at the large of Boston , about an hour and half from the coeast , was shocked by the amount of boats there was , found it almost to much intrusive .... ...
I can imagine.
Even if there were many boats at the edge of the earth on Tonga.
Wow incredible shot @narchuk!
Thank you!
Your images are just incredible! I am very pleased you found your way to Steemit and to my challenge:)
Our ways are inscrutable)
I am also very glad that I was here on the steemit. and also I found your page and competition)
The picture was taken while cruising from Lombok to Flores.
We have been around 20 people and had an absolutely wonderful time. During the trip we did a lot of snorkeling, exploring a pink beach and the incredible beautiful islands of the Komodo National Park.
I really enjoy sailing with a lot of friends and should definitely do this more often.
Thank you so much for your contribution! Great entry! Have a good one. Tomas
The surfing Beach of Coolum in Australia. When a swell comes in you can see the power of the ocean. Up to 8ft high waves breaking over sandbanks and producing a whitewater which will wash you away. Everyone who was out surfing in such condition knows how powerful our wonderful ocean can be.
Thank you so much for your participation. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on today. Tomas
This is Irminger Sea between Iceland and Greenland. I took this picture on a ship during a whale watching tour starting from the Icelandic capital Reykjavik. The vast cold ocean looks surreal at sunset, with a seagull flying over the shimmering waves.
So peaceful! Great shot!
