Hello fellow Steemians,
It is my great pleasure to announce the 7th monthly winner of 2018 of my 7 World's Continents Photo Challenge that has established its position among the most popular photo contests on Steemit. By joining this challenge you have a chance to showcase your skills by submitting your personal photographs from your travels around the globe and get some decent upvotes and rewards on the way to possibly collect 200 SBD in total (if you become the yearly winner).
The 7th monthly winner of the year 2018 is nobody else than @josefinemk with her stunning image below:
This picture is quite special to me. I took it when @kryptocek and I went for a little winter hike at Lake Marian in Southland, New Zealand. We lived and worked in Milford Sound for 4 months and for the longest time we wanted to do this hike - but never got to because we lost our car in an accident and it was 40 minutes drive away. So one day we hitch hiked after work, did the hike, and hitch hiked back (right before it got dark and cars would stop coming). It was so worth it. I mean, look at this view :-)

For submitting her image, @josefinemk received approximately $20 in upvotes from me, 20 SBD for winning the weekly round and I am sending her another 40 SBD now for winning the monthly challenge.
If you like @josefinemk photo, you can help her win another 100 SBD by upvoting this monthly winner announcement that will then compete against the previous and upcoming monthly winners of the year! The winner of the yearly challenge of 2018 will be the image with the highest value of upvotes on the monthly winner announcement.
Please see the previous monthly winners of the year 2018:
@narchuk January winning entry:
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.

@itchyfeetdonica February winning entry:
After a few hours' hike from the village El Chaltén in Argentina, I reached this turquoise glacier lake in front of Mount Fitz Roy. It is an unforgettable experience trekking in this region with magnificent peaks and stunning waterways.

@ansharphoto March winning entry:
Rovinj, Croatia. Visitors to Rovinj are often struck by its resemblance to Venice, its neighbor almost directly across the Adriatic Sea. The only thing that seems to distinguish “Little Venice” from its namesake is the absence of canals and busloads of tourists.

@davidgermano April winning entry:
Just an example of the amazing place that is Covão d'Ametade, a eco-campsite located in the Serra da Estrela Natural Park (North-Central Portugal) and integrated in one of the largest glacial valleys in all Europe. This beautiful stream is just one of several scenarios that one can enjoy at that place!

@irvinesimages May winning entry:
Golden Moonrise. Its such a beautiful event to witness and even more amazing to photograph, for those who are clever enough to figure out the right place and the right time. And then be lucky enough to receive the right light. This is a photo of Cathedral Rock in Beautiful Sedona, Arizona USA.

@axeman June winning entry:
Rich and stunning sunrise colors at Hurghada, Egypt. Morning low waters made visible very nice sand patterns and some stones around, which made the general composition much more interesting. Wide angle lens and low shooting point.
