See the winner of the last week´s European Thursday @gabrielatravels with the following entry:
This place is called The Emerald Lake and it was formed due to the massive exploitation of basalt in that area. Or how I like calling it - the beautiful disaster. Because I consider it a rare thing after such activities to be born this beauty. And its colour is usually greener and cleaner, but when I visited it was during the storm and that made it look a little bit different than usual. The Emerald Lake, Racoș, Romania.
Your entries need to be submitted by 8 AM Central European Time in order to be considered for the challenge with a description of approximately 30 to 50 words. Only use of personal images will be accepted and only one picture can be submitted for a daily photo challenge.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #93 - winner announcement!
@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 :)

Photo taken in the Park Guell, a famous public park system composed of gardens and architectonic elements located on the Carmel Hill in Barcelona, Spain. One of the most popular tourist attractions of the city, the park is one of masterpieces by Antoni Gaudí, a renowned architect and the most prominent figure of the Catalan modernism.
A view of La Sagrada Familia in early spring. This church is an icon of Barcelona, it has been under construction for more than 100 years and it is still unfinished. It was designed by the Catalonian architect Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926), which was the best known exponent of the Catalonian Modernism.
Stoned Phoenix
Colorful sprint evening sunset at the coast of Baltic Sea, Lithuania. At first sight it is very calm, but this is only illusion made by quite a long 20 sec exposure freeing the waves with some silky effect. Stones at foreground looks more monumental.
And finally, anybody see flying Phoenix? Yes, they DO EXIST :)
Enjoy the scenery!

Gdansk is one of the most beautiful cities in Poland. I was really lucky with the weather there and because of the location in the northernmost part of the country, the Blue Hour, which is my favourite time for photography lasted almost until midnight. These were perfect conditions for taking some wonderful pictures.
Daytrip to Eckernförde.
Just an hour drive from my in-laws away is Eckernförde, a small harbor town at the coast of the Baltic sea. We enjoyed a great cake, relaxed in the sun as you can see in the photo, had a „Fischbrötchen“ (raw or baked fish on a fresh roll) and a beer. Perfect day. 😃
Ich war am Wochenende in meiner alten Heimat ;-) und naklar im Wasser. Schönes Foto und wahrscheinlich nicht von "jetzt" oder? Es war rappel voll...
For this week I selected this photo I made in my place of birth, Ghent, during the yearly 10-day festivities called 'Gentse Feesten'. During this time of festivities, it's very crowded in the city.
On the photo you can see the typical skyline of Ghent, which has been there for centuries. These are three towers built in the downtown of Ghent.
The first tower is 'Sint-Niklaaskerk', a church. The second is the 'Belfort', a belfry and the last is the 'Sint Baafskathedraal', a cathedral, which has a famous painting called 'Het Lam Gods'.

Puycelsi of south west France. Pucelsi is one of a number of 'Bastide' towns in the Tarn valley. They are old, fortified medieval towns that are situated on an elevated hilltop. They are compact, displaying ancient building techniques and beautiful narrow roads.
Krakow Main Square
Krakow showcases some impressive architecture from different periods of European history. A prime example is the beautiful main square in the center of the old town. Below the main square, a museum shows the remains of ancient Krakow uncovered by archaeologists.

I have also posted this photo on my blog.
This photo was taken near Austbygdi, a tiny village in Norway with a population of just 400. At the start of spring the snow mass was starting to melt and as the land was getting warmer, small puddles of water started to appear. As the last bit of sunlight was fading, I captured this scenic view of a meadow with crispy water as clear as a mirror.
Il Duomo di Pisa or the Pisa Cathedral is a medieval cathedral, in the Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa, Italy. Unlike the tower, it has remained straight over the years. On the exterior, we can admire multicolored marble, mosaic, and bronze statues. The interior is also a work of art, with the wall covered in black and white marble with a wood and gold ceiling.
