Hello fellow Steemians,
I will be closing the 17th weekly contest of my 7 World's Continents Photo Challenge by announcing the winner of the weekly round on Monday so you have a few more last days to support your favorite. The winner is voted by you based on the upvotes from the individual continents winner announcements. The winner of the weekly round receives 20 SBD from me and then enters into a monthly and possibly yearly challenge to compete for 200 SBD in total.
So far I have given out 440 SBD to the weekly and monthly winners and some $3,000 worth of upvotes to winning participants. Now you have a chance to determine who will be the winner of the 17th weekly round by upvoting the below winner announcements over the next few days. The competition is heating up and I am getting excited to see which image will be the winning one. The choice is yours! :)
7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Asian Sunday week #17 – winner announcement!
@narchuk Asian Sunday entry:
At the Philippines I go to dive, most of the day I spend in the water or on a boat. Do not forget the night dive. As a result, I have very little time for sunrises and sunsets.
This time we returned from diving, and I watched the sun go down into the ocean. It happened at the moment when the boat hit the shore. I had to jump right into the water together with the underwater box. I did not have time to get another camera.
I was lucky. In addition to the beautiful sunset, I saw a turtle swimming alongside. A few minutes before it was dark, we swam together.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – Australian Monday week #17 – winner announcement!
@mibreit-photo Australian Monday entry:
Here's my favorite photo from New Zealand. I took it a year ago in Tongariro National Park. It was quite cloudy as we arrived in the Park and we couldn't see the peaks yet. But I hiked to Tama Lakes anyways, hoping for a change. As the clouds then broke and revealed Mount Ruapehu it was an awesome sight.

Volcanoes in Baltic? What? You would say impossible? Well, that depends on the point of view in fact. Shot at very cold winter evening (if remember right was some -20 degrees) and with very low shooting point and extra wide lens. So visually its really looks like a volcano :D Enjoy the scenery!

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – African Wednesday week #17 – winner announcement!
@pierrehugo African Wednesday entry:
As the drought becomes more apparent in the South African winter, two male Zebras compete in a dramatic display of kicking, biting and rearing up onto their hind legs. It was a great sighting to witness over half an hour. The result of such behavior led to a big dust cloud every time they attempted to establish dominance. This shot was taken in the famous Kruger National Park, which is a compulsory visit should you be traveling to this exquisite part of the world.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – European Tursday week #17 – winner announcement!
@jpphotography European Thursday entry:
Charles Bridge, Prague, Czech Republic. I am sure you know this view very well: The Charles Bridge is one of Prague's most beautiful sights. When I was wandering through Prague in the evening, I saw this beautiful view and since I did not carry a tripod I looked for a wall to put my camera on to capture this long exposure.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – North American Friday week #17 – winner announcement!
@remedium North American Friday entry:
Recently took a trip to the Utah national parks. Took this photo at the famous Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park just after sunrise. The sun is just behind the arch, creating a fascinating glow under the arch. Used Photomerge function with photoshop for creating the panorama image.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – South American Saturday week #17 – winner announcement!
@eaglest South American Saturday entry:
This image shows a dirt road through the Andes mountains. In the background you can see several vulcanoes. I took this image on a trip to the Altiplano high plateau in Chile. You can drive up to a stunning altitude of over 4000m by car. It was one of the greatest experiences in my life to drive in this vast deserted landscape without seeing other cars for hours.
