Hello fellow Steemians!

I am starting the week #39 of my 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge and we are back to the continent of Asia.

If you like to participate, place your personal image from your travels in Asia in the comment section below with a short 30 to 50 word description. Only use of personal images will be accepted and only one picture can be submitted for a daily photo challenge. Ten winning photos will receive a bigger upvote from me and ten runners-up will get a smaller one.

Chosen from the ten winning entries, the absolute winner of the day will receive extended publicity in my post tomorrow morning. I will also visit his/her blog to upvote one of the most recent posts. The winning picture of the daily challenge will then automatically enter other rounds with the absolute winner gaining approximately 200 SBD in total. So far I have given out thousands of dollars in upvotes and hundreds of SBD in rewards.

Bromo at Dawn. The morning atmosphere in the area of Mount Bromo. Bromo is one of the world-famous tourist destinations. I took this photo at 5:35 am Indonesia time. According to local belief, Mount Bromo is the name of the Main God in Hinduism. Active volcanoes in East Java, Indonesia. It has a height of 2,329 meters above sea level. The Tenggerese are native settlers around the mountain, believing that this mountain has magical powers that can protect their lives.

A traditional fisherman is pulling a fishing net or in Aceh called "Tarek Pukat" on the Gampong Jawa beach, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Fishing with manually retracted nets has been going on for a long time in Aceh and has now become a cultural tour that visitors can see.

Strong fishermen

What a hard job that is. Great image!

The long tail! Koh Phi Phi, the mystique Island in the Andaman Sea (Thailand). A truly remarkable place surrounded by the calm sea. These typical long-tail boats are loud as hell but probably the only way to maneuver these boats safely through all these reefs and rocky shores. Amazing how the local skippers handle those huge engines. The 8mm Sigma lense puts and interesting angle on the boat I think. I tried to capture the tail ;)

I just want to jump in that water:)

I love the colour of the water!

Unreal isn't it?!

Maya Bay on Koh Phi Phi Island, Thailand

Ever since the movie "The Beach" starring Leonardo DiCaprio was filmed on Koh Phi Phi, the Maya Bay beach is world-famous. The environmental impact of overtourism has left scars on this natural gem and caused the authorities to deny access to Maya Bay for a while.

I have also posted this photo on my blog.

Nice perspective! I also posted a Koh Phi Phi entry ;)

Just saw it, awesome shot!

thanks! yours is too!

A very beautiful paradise

I am not surprised why this place was chosen for a set ant then overtaken by a storm of tourists. Simply stunning!

While trekking the Langtang in Nepal, I was overtaken by a group of women going up from the valley carrying empty baskets on their back.

Life isn't the same for all of us and we've got to realize: while some complain for little things, others work very hard!

Location: The Himalayan ranges, Nepal.

A very famous mountain in the world

It isn't indeed!

Sorry, I am wrong🙏

I cannot even image what a hard living conditions those people have. We just take most of the thing for granted in Europe.

Traveling learn someone modesty and makes the same person realize how lucky we are with what we got!

Taking a hot air balloon to watch the sunrise in Cappadocia, Turkey. When the balloon is rising higher and higher, the view becomes more extraordinary. This stunning view is captured when the balloon rose to 800m.

What a great experience that must have been. Some astonishing views!

In the picture above is a scene that I take using camera Dslr, location of this place is in dam lhokseumawe, aceh, indonesia. This reservoir often displays sunset in the afternoon. And every day brings beautiful scenery in the afternoon. Lhokseumawe Reservoir is a place for fishing for fishermen who do not go to sea. I am taking this picture combining sago plants that grow wild in the reservoir and sunset grounds.

Here's my entry photo on the chance of an Asian challenge.

Regard from me @dayatsiauli

What a calming scene and an excellent entry.

Baiturrahman Great Mosque
Masjid Raya Baiturrahman, is a mosque located in downtown Banda Aceh, Aceh.
The Baiturrahman Grand Mosque is a religious symbol, and a silent witness to the struggle and nationalism of the Acehnese people,
And also the Aceh Tsunami Tragedy in 2004 ago, which devastated the land of this Veranda of Mecca.
The mosque is located right in the center of Banda Aceh City and is the pride of the Acehnese People.

Vrindavan, India

India always attracted me because of its culture and life. That's why I chose to go there. This trip was probably the most valuable in my life and the people I met were the most real and honest people I've ever encountered.

Hi Tomas..
This is my entry for this week.

Gateway to the Sea
The atmosphere of Kuala Cangkoi at dusk to welcome the night.
Located in Meuraxa District, Banda Aceh, Kuala Cangkoi is the estuary to the sea.
This place is also worth visiting for a fishing location or just enjoying the exotic twilight with a view of the silhouettes of a pine trees.


Setting: 1/100s | F 5 | ISO 64 | 70mm

Izmir , Yiğitler Köyü

the charm of the beach "gampong jawa banda aceh" is very beautiful in the late afternoon. This beach is located on the outskirts of the city "banda aceh" and everyday this beach there are always around 5 or 10 traditional fishermen who perform activities "TAREK PUKAT" (fish nets).


The children of kampung balohan, Sabang who play at the ferry port while entertaining the passengers waiting for the ship's departure. They will jump into the water when the passengers of the ship throw coins. It is a very entertaining sight seeing their ability to dive to get the coins.

On the streets of Taiwan we can see people like this citizen going to their work despite the rains, covering the packages with long canvases to take care of the rain. This country is well known for the quality of workers it has, since they are an example to follow for the world.

Look good

This monument is situated in india (town-indore), which is named as krishnapura ki chhattris. These Tombs were build in late 80's by maharaja holkar in memories of their ancestors.
I have lot more to share about, but I am crossing word limit so that's it.

Hi @czechglobalhosts,
This is my entry for Asian contest this week.
https://steemit.com/photography/@leodang/ban-gioc-waterfall-spectacular-view-in-border-of-vietnam-and-china
IMG_4046.jpg
Ban Gioc – Detian Falls is a collective name for two waterfalls on the Quây Sơn River, that straddle the international border between China and Vietnam. The waterfall is 272 km north of Hanoi.
This photo is the view of the falls from Vietnam during the dry season when the flow is at its minimum. But the view is still spectacular. With green of trees, white of water, yellow of sunlight.
This place appeared in the first scene in the movie of "Journey to the West" more than 20 years ago. Thus, this scene is always in my mind from I was a kid.
Best,
