Hello fellow Steemians,
I will be closing the 16th weekly contest of my 7 World's Continents Photo Challenge by announcing the winner of the weekly round on Monday. 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 380 SBD to the weekly and monthly winners and some $2,700 worth of upvotes to winning participants. Now you have a chance to determine who will be the winner of the 16th 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 #16 - winner announcement!
It happened in Thailand, in the Andaman Sea. At the very end of the dive I saw a sea turtle. She swam from coral to coral and did not notice my presence. Turtles are very calm, if you do not touch them. I swam next to her doing a frame-by-frame. At some point a flock of small fish swept past us. It lasted just a couple of seconds. I managed to make only one photo.

Stormy night over Darwin, this is a view from Nightcliff rocky beach if a thunder storm striking Darwin in the Northern territory of Australia. There nothing quite like it, I found it amazing to watch a bit like a firework.

When I first met the Ocean
We had been driving out of Lisbon to the south when the road led us to the coast. And I saw the ocean. And the setting sun. The colors were so beautiful! We stopped at the first place we had found I grabbed my gear and ran to the beach. Lucky me! It was Praia da Sines with these beautiful wooden stairs and the stones on the sandy beach. The first meeting was gorgeous. I knew there is more to come.

A windmill in the province of Limburg, in the southern part of The Netherlands where I grew up. In many villages you'll find one or two windmills though few are still in use. Luckily some are maintained/restored and open to the public to view.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – North American Friday #16 – winner announcement!
This photo is from September 2014, when we were on 21 days long trip around USA. I am sure that most of you can recognize what is on the picture, mighty Grand Canyon. It was rainy day, so I thought that such photos won’t be possible but late afternoon the sun looked out and glorious sunset began.

7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge – South American Saturday #16 – winner announcement!
Puerto Varas, Chile. In 2015 My family and I were living in Region X of Chile. This particular house had a perfect view of of two beautiful volcanoes; Volcán Osorno on the left and Volcán Calbuco on the right. On the afternoon of April 22, Volcán Calbuco erupted without any prior indication of being active, and my tiny family and I were able to witness first hand - A once in a life time opportunity.
