Mount Fitz Roy, 3,405 m of pure granite. Among the most technically challenging mountains for mountaineers on Earth and one of the most beautiful scenaries for me. I went to El Chaltén in 2017 where I spent 5 days just siting there for hours looking at this mountains.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #34 – winner announcement!

@jpphotography African Wednesday entry:

Sunrise in the Sahara. The sand dunes of the Moroccan Sahara are an amazing sight. The huge amounts of piled sand are everything but boring, since the strong winds and the sun constantly change the patterns and colours of the dunes.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - European Thursday week #34 - winner announcement!

@ansharphoto European Thursday entry:

Two Towers, Bologna. This part of the city, built when Bologna was at the peak of its power and wealth, was once dotted with towers. In fact, one of Bologna’s many affectionate nicknames is “la turrita,” or the “city of many towers.” There were once hundreds of towers in the city; some were built for defensive purposes and many others built by powerful families, continually attempting to one-up each other.

In 1881, Gustavo Adolfo Wulff Mowle, a German coal trader and shipper, migrated to Chile. In 1904, he bought a piece of land on Castle Hill in Viña del Mar, part of the greater Valparaiso metropolitan area. In 1906, Wulff built a house here and in 1917, added a tower and other features to make it a castle. In 1959, the city of Viña del Mar bought the castle and turned it into a museum and cultural center before being declared a national historic monument in 1995. I had a chance to visit this castle in 2009 when I traveled through Valparaiso and loved how it looked perched over the Pacific Ocean.

The salt lakes near Salta in Argentina are some really impressive view. The whole ground looks grey-ish white until the horizon, completely flat so you really lose your sense for dimension. Weare becoming even smaller than we are already are!

The more images I see from this place, the more I want to visit. One day I will:)....

There are a view salt lakes in the Andes, definitely some mind blowing sight!

Machu Picchu is a place that I was a bit reluctant to visit at first, simply because it's too famous. I was afraid to be drowned in the crowds just visiting an Inca citadel situated on a mountain ridge. But when I was there, I was totally amazed by how the extensive structures from 15th century sat in perfect harmony with the natural setting and the camelids. Especially when I stayed late till it's shrouded by mist, the whole place felt like a wonderful fairyland.

Beautiful ... I have a similar

Haha, great shot! I remember seeing many Machu Picchu photos here. Yours is of a llama, and mine is an alpaca, on the other side with some mist. ;)

What a wonderful entry and tremendous picture.

View from Isla Incahuasi, Bolivia

Sourrounded by the Salar de Uyuni salt lake, the view from the "cactus island" Incahuasi is impressive. The island is home to a large population of huge cactuses that make humans seem tiny when standing next to them!

I have also posted this photo on my blog.

Your images from that place are just spectacular. Thank you so much for sharing them.

This photo was taken at the Monserrate Hill in Bogotá (Colombia), it is at more than 3000 meters above sea level. It is peregrination site, since there is a Basilica at the summit of the hill. In the photo you can see a statue of Christ on the cross. The hill looking in straight line of the image is the Guadalupe hill, which it is also a peregrination site.

Thank you so much for your great entry. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on today.

I am glad that you liked it. Thank you.

The natural monument Las Tetas de María Guevara is constituted by two twin hills located in the center of the island of Margarita, near the La Restinga lagoon, in the Nueva Esparta state in northeastern Venezuela. One of the local legends says that these sine-shaped hills were named in honor of a mestiza woman from Cumaná, who fought in the War of Independence of Venezuela and whose tomb is under the hills.

This beautiful lagoon is one of the most important of the Merida State, also one of the largest. It is approximately 3,650 msnm and is of glacial origin. Presents a high mountain vegetation, despite being located in the tropics, has a high altitude, which gives these characteristics to the landscape.

Graffiti on a wall in Banos, Ecuador. One thing I found in Ecuador was there was a lot of art put out for the public by the public. Lots of graffiti in other words. Most of it was great.

Today I show you a photograph of a sunset on a very peculiar beach south of Isla de Margarita (Venezuela): El Yaque. This beach combines beauty with sports. Its attractions are many but it is characterized by a strong and constant wind ideal for water sports. In addition, it offers a radiant sun that covers the entire beach.

What a beautiful sunset! Thank you.

The peninsula of Macanao

Is an extraordinary and little known place of Margarita. It is located in the west of Margarita Island, linked by the La Restinga National Park. Macanao is very sparsely populated, which makes it ideal for people who want to get away from the crowds or who want a "respite" in season, or for example on weekends, when the beaches of the island have more things.

Thank you so much for your participation and contribution to the challenge. It is truly appreciated. Tomas
