Qurator's Photo Friday - Photography Competition #23

<hr /> <h2><center><span>Welcome to the 23rd Edition of Photo Friday - Hosted by <a href="/@qurator">@qurator! <p dir="auto"><br /> <p dir="auto"><span>Below you will find some unbelievable images captured by your fellow Qurites from all over the world! See what adventures they have shared with all of us! Don't forget to vote for your favorite and if you'd like to nominate your own image for next week's competition, make sure to comment <a href="/trending/nominate"> #nominate below. <p dir="auto"><strong>Note: some of you have been curated twice since the start of the Daily Qurator and some have been curated only once. As the Daily Qurator is gaining fame with every passing day, many new steemians are asking/will ask to join us. So, expect to see posts from new users for now. When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again. <p dir="auto"><br /> <h4>Each Friday we will select 5 Qurites and feature their photography in our Daily Qurator post. Each Qurite featured in this post needs to comment with their photo featured in this post. The user with the most upvotes on their comment (not money value) will win a <strong>Tier 5 membership for 30 days! The votes will be counted when this post reaches payout. <h2><center>Want to take part in Photo Friday? NOMINATE! After you upvoted your favorite photo! <h2>DO <p dir="auto">Want to take part in the next Photo Friday? Sure you can! Simply comment in the comment section with <code>#nominate. <p dir="auto">We will then consider your account and look over your feed for any Photography related posts for the upcoming Photo Friday <h2>DO NOT: <p dir="auto">Post links and/or pictures of your most recent posts. We will not choose them. Why? Well, we want the nominees to also benefit from being in the Photo Fridayy Edition.
