What is the Eco-Lens Challenge?

📸 It's an invitation to connect with nature on a deeper level and to share that knowledge with our global community.

🗺 🔎 For newcomers and to refresh your memory: the Eco-Lens Challenge ( #eco-lens ) is a weekly nature photography and observation contest. Each week has a theme. You go out with your cameras and your curiosity to find, photograph, and tell us about the natural wonders you discover.

These entries not only showcased biodiversity but also demonstrated the talent and passion of our community. From the Camping Club Steemit Community, we are building a unique visual database of nature. See our Eco Lens Map
