All in all, it gave us a wonderful opportunity to appreciate a wide variety of landscapes.

The works depicting scenes from nature and our surroundings helped us discover the beauty present in everyday life.

Meanwhile, some of the more mysterious landscapes from stories and people’s imagination made us feel as if we were traveling to new places.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the challenge with great artwork.

Then, shall we meet the winners of the challenge?

seascape / @Maksim
Cielo azul / @francisco

Dark clouds scatter in all directions, and as the sun sets, the sky is painted in a spectrum of colors.

Trees send their petals fluttering in the wind, and waves crash against the shore, creating foamy sprays.

The seascape, filled with beautiful colors, seems to embody the many expressions of nature.

This one’s from @Maksim. Well done!


As dawn breaks, the deep blue clouds gradually turn white.

A deer stands still atop a small waterfall, gazing at its surroundings.

One can’t help but wonder if the brightly shining, beautiful scenery is what made the deer stop in its tracks.

Thank you, @francisco. Wonderful work.

Light / @Abex
The lake / @Lemon

A blue sky peeking through the dark clouds radiates a bright light.

The dim riverside, partially illuminated by this light, creates a mysterious atmosphere.

The beams pouring through the gaps almost feel like spotlights nature has created to show off its scenery.

This is a captivating piece by @Abex.


In the sky above a calm lake, the sun traces a line as it disappears behind the mountains.

A shooting star streaks across the sky, heading beyond the clouds, while fireflies rise from the grass, glowing as they fly.

The fantastical landscape crafted by nature is sure to leave a vivid impression in the memories of many.

@Lemon’s work beautifully captures this magical scene.

Just a little bit more / @ROSARINI
Landscape / @Dr.Gazi

On a beach with parasols, fluffy clouds float across the blue sky.

In the fields stretching out behind, tall palm trees stand, and the grass is dotted with white flowers in full bloom.

With no one around, it seems there’s still a little time before summer visitors arrive.

This tranquil landscape is by @ROSARINI.


The red glow of the sunset seems to be dyeing the sky and park with autumn colors.

An elderly man in white stands on the lawn, leaning on his cane, gazing at the scenery.

Perhaps, as he looks at the reddening leaves, he is also reflecting on himself in the landscape.

This evocative piece is by @Dr.Gazi.

seacoast / @lyh
Misty sunset / @Cicsan

Beneath the lush, green cliffs lies a clear sea with gentle waves.

The sky stretching above the horizon is bright and cloudless, showing off perfect weather.

Just looking at this beautiful coastline feels refreshing to the soul.

This one’s a stunning piece by @lyh.


A tall tower rises above the mist that blankets the entire mountain.

The dim light of the setting sun meets the fog, coloring everything in beautiful hues.

This mystical, dreamlike forest scene brings to mind a storybook tale.

This enchanting work is by @Cicsan. Well done!

It can be a wonderful day / @Bozi

On the meadow where a house stands, dark rain clouds have cast everything in shadow.

Yet near the house, a rainbow appears and the trees are gradually touched by light.

As time passes, the clearing sky and beautiful scenery promise a wonderful day.

This intriguing scene is by @Bozi.

My little world / @isekaimeout

Trees that have fallen from the cliff now float as separate islands in the sky.

Beyond distant mountain ranges, the view of Earth hints that this place belongs to another world.

This mysterious landscape might just be someone’s imagined, personal universe.

This imaginative piece is by @isekaimeout.



These are the 10 winners.

Congratulations!
