@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:

The spectacular view from the top of Roy's Peak on New Zealand's south island. It's 1400meters up from the car park just a few miles outside of Wanaka. I was up there for sunset and was the only person staying in the freezing November winds. It was great to have such a view for myself :-)

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans week #20 – winner announcement!

@photofreediver Tuesday of Antarctica and world´s oceans entry:

To see icebergs in Greenland is the dream of many people. For our freedivers team this was also the purpose of our trip. But on the tops of the icebergs, we certainly did not stop. We became one of the first people in the World who saw the beauty and grandeur of the underwater part of the ice giants.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday #20 – winner announcement!

@ansharphoto African Wednesday entry:

Quiver Trees at Dawn, Namibia. My first day in Namibia did not disappoint. I traveled with a group of photographers to the Quiver Forest, a place for which the photographs had not prepared me. The Quiver Forest is actually privately-owned land — the Guriganus Farm — and the “trees” which make up this otherworldly forest are not actually trees at all, but plants. Their fibrous trunks are easy to hollow out and were once widely used as quivers for arrows.

I believe this is still officially called Pont de Langlois (Langlois Bridge) but it's incredibly well known as Pont Van Gogh in Arles, France. This bridge was made famous when van Gogh made several paintings of it while he lived in Arles during 1888. I had a chance to watch the sunrise here and understand why van Gogh was so inspired!

Absolutely lovely! Just call for a walk.

Oia Village at Sunset, Santorini

It’s easy to be enchanted in Santorini. Walking among the pastel-hued houses of Oia at the end of a day, I find myself completely charmed by the small village, with its windmills overlooking the Aegean Sea. With golden hour sunlight falling gently over the village, Oia was particularly lovely.

wow, it is beautiful! Just from the top of my bucket list!

Agreed with you! Oia is such a lovely place 😊

Beautiful Santorini captured in an amazing image. Well done. Tomas

Lake District Sunrise


This one is from my favourite place in the world, the Lake District here in the UK. It's such an incredible place - unsurprisingly FULL of lakes! - and perfect for sunrise/sunset shoots looking over the incredible landscape! If you are ever in the UK I'll give you one tip, don't bother with London, that's not even close to the best part of the UK!!

Fantastic scenery, it looks like New Zealand. I love it, it really makes me want to explore UK.

Wow, stunning image! Thank you so much for your participation. Tomas


One of the resent shots at Curonian Spit, Lithuania. Beautiful place with dunes, sand and perfect coastline for landscapes and seascapes.
This time was pretty cold winter evening with amazing colors on sunset

Enjoy it!

We also have some beautiful views and architecture here in Germany. And today I want to show you one. This is the old castle in Heidelberg, which I photographed a few years ago during sunset. It's really worth a visit.

I'm going there in May! Can't wait to come back with thousands of photos like this. :) Up'd & Following!

Epic picture! Great sharing. Tomas

The glacial lagoon of Jökulsárlón in southern Iceland during sunset. I took a long exposure to blur the clouds and the water, to help make the stationary ice floes stand out. The ice moves around quite a lot, so I was glad to catch these floes in a quiet moment.

Jokulsarlon

While on a fall vacation through Tuscany (Italy), we had actually picked olives from our friend's olive grove and then went to have them pressed in the local town press, I shot this small villa from across the ravine. The fog, and the lighting was AMAZING. Fog rolling through the Italian countryside :) It was an awesome experience!

You just gotta love Tuscany, it is hard not to! Thank you for your image. Tomas

Here's my entry for 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - European Thursday by @czechglobalhosts trummelbach falle rinawonderlands .jpg

One of my favourite places on earth. The beautiful Interlaken, in Switzerland. It's a well-known tourist destination in the Bernese Highlands region of the Swiss Alps, located on the flat alluvial land called Bödeli between the two Lakes of Brienz to the east and Thun to the west and alongside the river Aare. This probably the cleaniest town i ever visit during my trip in Europe :)

Beautiful! Thank you so much for your continued support. Tomas

Your welcome Tomas :)

WOW!! This is incredible!

That is an amazing capture!

Wow .. it's like you could feel the heat. A really incredible picture. You caught the moment ... for all of us.
