“Life on Mars. Sahara el Beyda, Egypt. In stark contrast to the chaos of Cairo, the vast expanse of the White Desert gives a sense of being on another planet. the endless horizon is broken only by the striking chalk rock formations. All you can do is sit back in wonderment and take it in before the sun sets and stars light up the night sky.”

The second winner of this week’s challenge is @thekc_99 who will receive a pair of sunglasses whose photo entry and write-up are below!

“Kilauea, on the island of Hawaii, is the most active volcano in the world. The location where the scalding lava (>1,000 C) meets ocean water took three hours of strenuous hiking on sharp volcanic rock to get to. I took this shot close to the lava bench, an unstable structure created by newly cooled lava. The sights and sounds of that evening will never be forgotten.”

The third winner of this week’s challenge is @thephotosonmywall who will receive a pair of sunglasses whose photo entry and write-up are below!
