7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Australian Monday week #37 - winner announcement!
@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:
When I was travelling through Australia I spent two days on the Great Ocean Road. The weather was quite grey and I didn't get good light for the first day and a half. And also the last evening didn't look different. I still went down to the Gibson Steps and waited. This light was the reward.

@davedavis91 European Thursday entry:
European?! Well let's see what I have. I took this shot about a year ago in Saxony, Germany, very close to the Czech Border. A well hidden treasure that got famous through RedBull and Instagram. A park in which a half round Bridge forms a perfect circle in its own reflection. Surrounded by Trees and abstract rock formations. Magical place. The autumn colors round it up to a perfect frame!

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - North American Friday week #37 - winner announcement!
@intrepidphotos North American Friday entry:
It's not often you get a sense of stillness at Athabasca falls. This shot was taken last spring looking through the canyon downstream of the falls. The shoulder seasons are nice in places like Athabasca so one can experience them without the crowds. People fall into this canyon almost every year and most don't live to tell the tale. Athabasca Falls, Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.

Thanks ever so much for your wonderful entry!
Beautiful shot! The name sounds scary, haha... Are the mountains always in clouds?
Thank you for your comment, it was an extraordinary but exhausting experience, it was 5 days walking to reach the summit of the mountain on the right. Yes, clouds usually surround the mountains, but that day was especially clear and beautiful.
Wow. This is so cool. I like that trail leading up in your shot.
I shot this photo when trekking in the breathtaking Cordillera Vilcanota in the Peruvian Andes. I got up at 3am and hiked a whole day in the thin air to the peak of 5200 metres. As one of the few remaining pastoralist societies in the world, the herders here use the high mountain trails to trade with agricultural communities at lower elevations.
Yet another mind-blowing image!
Beautiful photo, it has always seemed to me that the Peruvian indigenous people live with an inner peace that is very difficult to describe.
Thanks Jose! :) You mean the highlanders right? Perhaps because of the deep mountains... The people from the jungle or the seaside of the country seem to be different.
Holy crap. You are throwing out some amazing landscapes. That outfit is pretty cool.
Our last day in Uyuni, Bolivia we got up early to watch the sunrise over the salt flats. The sunrise was nothing special but we were early enough to see the moon setting behind some hills. A couple minutes after this picture the moon was completely gone.
That is truly spectacular! Thank you.
Quilotoa, Ecuador
Quilotoa is a spectacular crater lake in the Ecuadorian Andes. I had planned on doing a multi-day hike in the region, but got unlucky with the weather. When seeking for shelter from the purring rain on my hike, I was invited by a local family, so it turned out as a great experience in the end!

I have also posted this photo on my blog.
Thank you so much for your wonderful entry. Enjoy your Sunday. Tomas
Thanks Tomas, you too!
Love the unique perspective and composition of your photo. I also posted shots of Quilotoa here before, such a gorgeous place! =)
And it's another photo of the same place I posted in Whereisit Photogames, in the comment you said "the vegetation looks a bit like somewhere in the Southeast of Australia." ;) Now I see why since you had totally different weather in Quilotoa.
Haha, Quilotoa looks so different in your photo! Great shot!

What a gorgeous sunset!
Sierra Nevada National Park (Mérida, Venezuela)
The Sierra Nevada National Park (PNSN) is a national park of Venezuela located between the states of Merida and Barinas in the west of the country. Founded on May 2, 1952 by decree 393 of President Germán Suárez Flamerich, with the objective of protecting the Sierra Nevada de Mérida within the Andean mountain range.
With its creation, it became the second National Park decreed, after the Henri Pittier National Park, which would begin the history of Venezuela's national parks 15 years earlier.
The Sierra Nevada is an area of great ecological importance for Venezuela, as it ensures the preservation of the highest ecosystem in the country, where the highest mountain ranges of the Venezuelan Andes are located, including Pico Bolívar, the highest geographical feature. of Venezuela with 5007 ms. n. m.
What a great image! For you next entry try to keep the description just bit shorter - around 50 words.
The Pululahua Crater, Quito Ecuador
The Pululahua volcano crater is located on the edge of the Manuel Cordova Galarza highway. Following the road is very easy to reach because you only need to pass by or return to the road after the monument that remembers the passage of the Equator through the country. The crater is a natural formation product of ancient eruptions of a large volcano. According to data from the Geophysical Institute of the National Polytechnic School, the last activity of the colossus occurred approximately 2,200 years ago. This process is attributed to the migration of the members of the Cotocollao culture. Contrary to what is believed, the volcano is not extinct, it is classified as potentially active within the classification of the Geophysicist. However, after the eruption of the domes formed around 2,400 years ago, the Pululahua has remained inactive until now.
What a wonderful image! Thank you so much for your participation. Tomas
The state of Sucre is part of the northeastern region of Venezuela and has beautiful and representative beaches. Walking along some beaches I could see this view of the sea with the boats, something totally relaxing. The waters of this beach were calm and serene, ideal to share a pleasant moment with the family.
That looks so peaceful and relaxing, I would love to transfer myself just right out there.
This is the lighthouse of the Bay of Charagato, on the island of Cubagua, in Venezuela. An excellent place to take a boat ride, snorkel, and learn more about the wonders of this beautiful country. This is an island where many of the scientific investigations of the sciences applied to the sea are carried out, due to their biological diversity.
Thank you for your entry. Kindly stay tuned for the winner announcement coming later on today. Tomas
The mangroves are one of the natural beauties that you will find in the "Peninsula de Macanao", located on the Margarita island-Venezuela. This is a small take from the outskirts of the National Park "Laguna de la Restinga" in the town of "Boca del Río".Besides being a tourist attraction, it is also a source of life for fishermen, since in this lagoon oysters are captured that are sold on the beaches of the area.
