A reservoir in my beloved city is in the city of Lhokseumawe, a city in the country of Indonesia that displays sunset (sunset). I have been aiming at a picture and I succeeded in capturing it. I present this picture to the challenge held by @chezcglobalhost on the challenges of Asia. There were two fishermen who were riding a boat and this was quite extraordinary in my opinion.

This summer I went from St. Paul, MN on the Mississippi R. to Cario, Ill. were I went up the Ohio R., Tennessee River then down the TennTom Waterway to Mobile, Al. I sailed just a few days in my homemade 14 ft. sailboat (with cabin) then motored with a 4 horse. A 60 days, 1666 mile trip stopping every night and mtg. new and old friends. I am planning to build a kayak with folding akas and using a small sail besides paddling. The plan is to leave in the spring/summer of 2018. Your video has been so helpful to me to get an overview to plan for my trip. Good job.

>**Concrete Jungle, Hongkong**
I took this shot a few years ago on my stay in Hongkong. The location was on the Victoria Peak (30 min hike for a stunning view) which was absolutely worth visiting.

Welcome to the Ortahisar Castle. It is a very special castle because of the shape and holes. And it is not only the landmark of Ortahisar but also Cappadocia and Turkey. You can also pay to go up to the castle and enjoy the panoramic view of the city.

Hi @czechglibalhosts here is my participation for the contest. This pic I have taken in Bandipur forest in india. We pass through this forest while traveling from Mysore city to Ooty. The elephant was walking just beside the road giving me ample opportunity to capture him in my mobile.![IMG-20180804-WA0060.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSBCikdddiogFWtK2tpLaPD2xPK8TKgJV1NpdVCP6PRLB/IMG-20180804-WA0060.jpg)
This is a wild elephant so we we're little frightened as well but nothing is more exciting than seeing wild animals in their natural habitat.

**North Aceh**, I took the photo when I enjoyed the sunset in the maturation of the pond not far from my beloved house and was decorated by the sunset in the afternoon. I tried to capture the photo even though it looked very standard and look natural. Thanks.

awesome shot!

great photography always.

Pretty stunning colors of sunset at the beach of Ajman, UAE shot beginning this year. Very long and slow wave allowed to get perfect reflection making overall composition much more interesting. This small emirate is not so reach as Dubai, so do not have so many skyscrapers, but still some constructions are in progress

Enjoy it!

**Petronas Towers**

These Towers in the heart of Kuala Lumpur are so unique. I´ve never seen a building with so much appeal like these twin-towers. If you stand in front of them it´s so surreal and you can´t stop looking at them.

_Nature has its own way of showing, how beautiful it is !The moment of the day that holds the beauty is of about the sunset. One of the most amazing moment that can not not be compared with anything._

_Was lucky enough to get the shot of that particular moment !The different colors, made it even more beautiful to watch !_

Abundant natural ecosystems make a lot of life in the mountains of Aceh.
One of them is the endemic Asian rafflesia flower plant.
This flower lives in Indonesia's tropical rainforests. High rainfall makes this region have many unique plants.

Last Friday I returned to visit the most favorite tourist spot in Aceh, Indonesia.
Lhokseudu beach tourism destinations are different at the end of Aceh "big" and have a distance of about 40 minutes from the city of Banda Aceh. This place is crowded by visitors on Saturdays and Sundays ..

In the afternoon is the right time to look for a moment that we can photograph, on the afternoon of Saturday I spent a little time looking for a good view that I could photograph in the reservoir area made by the city of Lhokseumawe, this area every evening was always welcomed by a panoramic sunset , this location is also one of the favorite places for photographers who like to hunt the sunset.

This is Mount Batur, one of the famous volcanoes in Bali. Not as big as Mount Agung, but it's still considered active, and it's a very famous tourist spot: most tour operators offer trekking to the volcano's summit to watch the sunrise. Didn't do the trekking when I was there, but I bet the sunrise viewed from the top is amazing!

Datong, China is not the most beautiful city. In fact, there is not much to see since it was completely restored. I prefer original monuments, even if they are crappy. The fortified wall still makes good background for a photo.

Koh Samui, Thailand. 
On my way to to Koh Tao, I stopped on Koh Samui for a few hours 'cuz I missed my ferry by 2 minutes. At the pier to my left I saw some majestic temple-sites and I had a few hours to kill so I went. This temple was a piece of art.

Standing inside a beached boat to get a view over the old Dhaka yard. From here people look very tiny and the scenery is just fantastic.
These boats are out of space and being on one of them while, scouting for the ground all around is very weird!

**Petra, Jordan**

Because I love to hike and I love ruins, Petra attracted me like a magnet. Some of the trails just scream Indiana Jones style adventure. Even though it's well touristed, go early and be willing to hike to some of the more remote destinations, and you'll often see only a handful of people on the trails.

**Davao, Philippines**

The Kadayawan Festival is held annually in Davao City. It is a celebration of having a beautiful life and a bountiful harvest. The most anticipated highlight of the week is the Floral Parade. Here, a child dressed in traditional costume prepares to join the parade

I took this photo while walking through the beautiful gardens of Summer Palace in Beijing. Love the tranquil feel of this photo. It takes me back to what a great day it was :)  It was especially great cos for a few hours we got to escape the craziness that is Beijing!

Tegenungan waterfalls in Ubud Bali. 
On my recent trip to Bali, I got to explore the waterfalls at Tegenungan in Ubud. It was a fun walk down the forest to the water and I had a quick swim to beat the heat. Highly recommended checking it out if you get a chance ☺![LRM_EXPORT_20180406_093433.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUfpx5di5HpWYzkikwogjm62bCwasspCptDbzqoJBoePX/LRM_EXPORT_20180406_093433.jpg)

Pretty picture, gorgeous capture!
