CEO & Founder of CGH
I haven't submitted in the daily photo contest for ages but I'm finally back! For my first European entry in over a month, I'm submitting one from the beautiful mountains in Switzerland. This is just above the very small town to Reuti, in the region of Interlaken. There are tons of hiking trails here open in the summer to give a great workout along with an incredible view!
Great to have you back. Amazing entry as always.
What a nature! Stunning.
HOPP SCHWEIZ.
Panoramic view of the historical center of Nice. Home to almost 350,000 people, Nice is the fifth largest city in France and the capital of the Alpes-Maritimes Region. Known for sunny and warm climate for the most part of the year, it is located on the famous French Riviera, a popular tourist destination in Southern France.
What a beautiful views
This is another photo of Civita di Bagnoregio, the dying city, or the Jewel on the Hill as described by Rick Steve. This place used to be a bustling town during the Medieval times, and apparently used to be much bigger. Unfortunately erosion and earthquake means that the hill started to shrink in size, buildings fell of the cliff and people started to move away. Nowadays it is mainly a tourist attraction. The permanent population at Civita is only about a 100 in summer and can drop to a mere 7 during winter.
This is an epic shot. Amazing job.
That is out of this world! Truly amazing.
Plitvice Lakes, Croatia
When I first saw this motive in a tourism brochure, I thought that it must have been taken with a drone. I was really surprised when I visited the Plitvice Lakes myself and found myself looking down at this view!
1/100s; 45mm; f/9.0; ISO 100
I have also posted this photo on my blog.
Nice shot man :) Was there 2 years ago, stunning location!
The Plitvice Lakes are incredible, but sadly overrun by tourists. I had a hard time getting some good shots while jammed in between bus loads of pensioners :D
This is a beautiful colour palette! The water feels magical!
Thanks! The colours were so beautiful!
What a fabulous image and place.
Mirador De Morro Velosa
That is the name of the cafe from where I took this shot on Fuerteventura. It is in the middle of the Rural Park Betancuria, a National park on the westside of the island.
Thank you so much for your submission!
thanks for the contest! 👍
I managed to capture this nice sunset-shot at a beach in Mykonos Town, Greece when I was on vacation with some friends two weeks ago. The sailing ship just had a perfect timing and it looks as if it is going right into the sun!
Thx Tomas for the contest and have a nice day,
Martin
Sp picturesque and romantic:)... Great job Martin.
Bay of Kotor
Probably the most famous landmark of Montenegro is the Bay of Kotor, which is also called Europe’s southernmost fjord. Kotor has a very nice historical center and a mountain, which is worth climbing up ;)
wow what a beautiful scenery!
Yes it definately is. I love the combination of mountains direct by the sea.
I just love that place.
Incredible Architecture: A stone bridge built between rock pillars. A sandstone masterpiece that connected this popular viewpoint with an easier accessible track. It used to be a wooden Bridge which then in 1850 was redesigned. A landscape photographers hot-spot. If you are in the area, try to be up there an hour before sunrise and fight for you spot among dozens of tripods. Bring some coffee and make a lot of new professional friends. (Germany, Saxony) NIKON D5300 ISO100 1/500 sec F8 8.0 mm 8.0-16.0 mm f/4.5-5.6, Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DC HSM
Stunning man! Love it!
Thanks so much. This place rocks!!
Your shots are always so awesome. Very well done.
Thank you! Appreciate the comment!
Absolutely wonderful image!
Thank you! It's my favorite contest on Steemit. Always happy to find the perfect shot for this.
This photo was taken in Brig, Switzerland. It was taken when I was waiting at this transition point for the train to Italy. This view was discovered accidentally when I got bored and started wandering around the city.
Love it!
Summer in Klaipeda, Lithuania maybe still hot, but not for a long period. Baltic Sea is generally pretty cold even summer. But very often though we have here stunning sunsets.
Here is the fine example of such warm and stunningly colourful sunset. The fishermen just came back from fishing and I have managed quickly to get the boat into the frame
Enjoy the scenery!

Love those colors. Truly spectacular.
I like this one a lot
Hamburg - Jewel of the North
Hamburg is definitely one of the coolest cities in Germany. The "nordic feeling", the old storage district with it's canals and brick houses as well as the new Elbphilharmonie are just remarkable. When you are in Germany, you should check out Hamburg for sure. And don't forget to do a harbor and "Speicherstadt" cruise!
More pictures of Hamburg on my blog.
This is Anta da Serra, a megalithic dolmen located near the village of Redondo, in the heart of the Alentejo region (southern Portugal). Indeed, a mystical place that has survived thousands of years throughout our history as human beings!

A less crowded view of the Acropolis of Athens.
If you visit Athens the Acropolis is a must do and you need to wake up early to have a chance to visit this monument in a relative peace, but even at the opening at 8 am there will be other people.
If you want a good view of the acropolis you can take a walk in the park in front of the entrance and climb at the top of the Filopappou Hill where this shot was taken.
Les sentier des ocres. La France, Roussillon in the Provence.
A geological wonder, the famous ochre trail. You pay a small fee to enter the mine. There are 2 marked trails that you can follow. A nice walk with beautiful views and fauna. Bring some water, because it can be very warm.
As I said couple of months ago I will try to share more photos of my home country Slovenia on European Thursday’s. Today I am sharing one of the nicest waterfalls in our country called Slap Peričnik. Height of it is 52 meters and its specialty is that it often gets frozen in winter months and then it is even more spectacular.

I took this photo in Montenegro somewhere on the way through the window of the bus from Podgorica to Kotor. I spent there only few days but this is the country which definetly is worth to visit more than once, especially for people who like mountains.
Nice shot, the mountains look like they are slowly fading away.
Thank you. And there is "a lot" of shades of grey ;)
Not particular the right season in Europe now! But this Zell am See, Austria. Beautifull scenery when all is white and the lake half frozen. If you ever get the change, make sure you go late in season when it is not to crowded.
Hi dear friend Tom @czechglobalhosts,
Here are my entries for European Thursday Photo Contest:
Paris can be said is one of the must visited cities in the world cause of its central role in the history of Western Civilization... In 19th century Paris even called as the capital of the world... So, it must be very memorable to visit this city even only once in our whole life...
I visited this city in 2009, and hope next time in the future I can visit this beautiful city again...
Thanks for this lovely contest, dear Tom...
And have a great day... Cheers!🥂☕❤
The Old Harry Rocks
The Old Harry Rocks stretch along the Jurassic Coast, which is protected by the UNESCO world heritage. It is a beautiful formation near the Bournemouth, UK. The scale of the rocks can be felt by looking at the tiny person on the edge of the cliff. Down below is a deep blue water. One can truly feel at peace and harmony being surrounded by the surreal natural formations and the landscape.
Hi @czechglobalhosts.
This is my entry for this contest.
https://steemit.com/photography/@leodang/canal-di-midi-toulouse-france
Canal Di Midi - Toulouse, France
Canal Di Midi is the famous canal in Toulouse - beautiful city in France. If you live here, you will see four different pictures of 4 seasons. It will green in Spring, strongest growth in Summer, yellow in Autumn and leaves fell down in Winter.
This photo was taken on the side of the canal in Winter, near the New Year Eve. All the leaves fell down already. But, at the sunset, it still looks stunning with the yellow of the sunlight. It creates the beautiful picture of the nature.
Best,
That morning I got to the Vatican very early to beat the crowds. First I went up to the dome of St Peter’s Basilica, then decided to explore the roof. These statues are almost six meters high. From right to left we have St James the Elder, St John the Baptist, Christ the Redeemer, St Andrew, St John the Evangelist. St James the Younger, St Bartolomew and St Simon. You can see that the years have taken their toll., but they were restored in the 1980’s. There is a great view of Rome from up here, and the bird on the cross can attest to that.
The Westminster Abbey (London) is a fundamental monument in English and British culture and history. Here is where the British monarchs are coronated and buried. The photo shows the western façade of this fine and impressive Gothic church. I like its twin towers, however they are not completely symmetric, as it can be seen in this photo.
Beautiful scenery
Wow, the photos are amazing. I can't wait to buy a camera when steem price grow. I love taking photos..but at the moment with my phone!
