Moment Valley on the Utah-Arizona border in The US is one of the most impressive places I have visited. It was about 30 degrees celcius and we got a chance to walk around one of the giant buttes. It was about a five kilometer hike through the desert. The views, as you can see were amazing!

@justdentist Asian Sunday entry:
Good morning Guilin. Guilin and the surrounding area was the highlight of our china vacation. The landscape is so unique with the hills all over the place and the rivers running through. The morning hike was steep but short and this view was the perfect prize:)
7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #93 – winner announcement!
@robbertb Australian Monday entry:
It's quite a challenge to choose one picture from a six weeks New Zealand roadtrip, but I believe this one captures the feeling of freedom and the beauty of nature at it's best. This shot was taken at the top of Ben Ohau at 1500 meters elevation after a challenging hike in 28 degrees Celcius. The reward was amazing as you can see! (Yes, the lakes in New Zealand really are that blue).
@dmytrokorol Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:
Beautiful morning on Playa el Bollulo, Tenerife, Canary Islands. This beach with pitch black volcanic sand is one of the most beautiful on the island. I was mesmerized with the contrast of sand and the water rolling back and creating the white foamy lines. I have spent some time just looking at this natural beauty and noticed the amazing subtle reflection in the middle ground. All I needed is a subject and it was easy to find because there are several rock formations on the beach. I took several shots to find the right balance in all this permanent changing and combined several images (foreground with the leading lines, middle ground with reflection and subject with rock and crashing waves).
7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - African Wednesday week #93 - winner announcement!
@axeman African Wednesday entry:
Electrification on Mars. Picture like from a sci-fi cartoon... But in reality shot from the moving bus early morning on the way from Hurghada to Luxor, Egypt to reach our cruise up the Nile ship. The quality is not so sharp, but really nice overall effect and some strange colors caused by polarized bus window. Enjoy the scenery :)

Fancy cars parked on the Rodeo Drive, an iconic two-mile long boulevard located in the famous L.A. neighborhood of Beverly Hills, which is known for its luxury goods stores. Sometimes referred to as "90210," one of its primary ZIP codes, Beverly Hills is also home to many celebrities and luxury hotels.
Holbox ("black hole" in Yucatec Maya) is an island in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, located on the north coast of the Yucatán Peninsula. It is separated from the mainland by 10 km of shallow lagoon that is home to flamingos, pelicans and other rich birdlife. The island is also a great place to spot whale sharks.
Photo of the Sidney Lanier Bridge a beautiful cable-stayed bridge in the Georgia State in the USA and it crosses the Brunswick River. The photo was taken from the Jekyll Island. It is rather new bridge since it was opened in 2003.

Beauty And Fury
Every summer the North American Monsoon Season draws deep moisture up from the tropics into the arid desert southwest. Bringing an almost daily cycle of convective thunderstorms. Late day storms are most the common because they are heat driven. So this results in some rather spectacular sunsets, showing the beauty and the fury. Sedona Arizona USA.
Willis Creek Slot canyon: it is a slot canyon in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. It is a rather easy slot canyon. It is mellow and accessible.
It is about 4.8 mile (7.7 km) round trip. It's a nice hike following the small stream. We were there in the summer and it was scorching hot, so walking through the stream and getting some cooling down from the water was welcome.

Great picture. Is this canyon at the Hole-in-the-Rock-Road?
No I just checked. These are about 70 miles away from each other. Willis Creek is just next to Bryce Canyon

Ah okay, thanks for the info. Than I have to keep it in mind for my next visit ;)
Due to the Independance Day yesterday, here you can see the Liberty Bell in the Independance Hall in Philadelphia. The bell was rang on the 8th of July 1776 when the statement of independence was published.
The road through The Valley of Fire. I took this on a trip to the Nevada desert in the month of December. This was but one of many great views to be seen on this trip. Hope you enjoy it! Taken by me with a Nikon D3300 and some Lightroom post processing.

You really captured it nicely. I really liked the Valley of Fire when I visited it, a small park but with amazing views! Cheers, Robbert
Thank you @robbertb! We took the long way there, Lakeshore Rd to Northshore Rd (a great scenic drive in its self), so we didn't get to spend much time there. I would definitely go back in a heartbeat. :)
View on Cienfuegos, Cuba
A colonial building on the main square in Cienfuegos offers incredible views from its rooftop. While on one side lies the restored main square, on the other side, houses in disrepair and the chimneys of a nearby factory are visible.

New Hampshire, USA.
We must enjoy every moment. When you reach the top, you wish you could enjoy it longer, but you know that there is a long way to go down. If only we could have this view throughout the climb, it would be so cool, but then we would lose the will to go to the end ... dilemma !
