    Waterfall in the jungle of Mondulkiri! by: evatheintern Views[1183] Me sitting at my favourite reading and project writing spot! by: evatheintern Views[1230] Moab 2016 by: tahlia-abroad Views[496] the dew on this reed reminded me of a crystal chandelier. How blessed are we that such beauty is real by: armandacarol Views[663] On a hike in the rainforest we saw the light creating ribbons in this waterhole it conjured all kinds of stories in my mind of healing waters by: armandacarol Views[665]
     
    I was on an early morning hike and got to play with my new 100mm Macro on this beauty. by: armandacarol Views[695] A bird freely flapping its wings on the shores is a gesture only the lake can translate. by: elenanikolovska Views[780] What the mute swans know they share only with the still waters of the lake. by: elenanikolovska Views[648] Seagulls know how to enjoy sunsets. Funny how nature finds harmony with all. by: elenanikolovska Views[787] If only these trees could talk. They would tell us all the secrets of the lake by: elenanikolovska Views[708]
     
    The sun and the old wooden pier on Lake Ohrid. Friends through time. by: elenanikolovska Views[764] Out here, where there are no roads, is where you would normally expect to see wildlife, such as bears. After hiking along the entire, 40 mile long, Teton Crest Trail in four days in the backcountry, not a single bear was seen. Are we somehow enticing our bears to choose the roadsides instead, where they are so much less safe? by: rangerbobbie Views[699] Grizzly 760 followed in his Mom’s footsteps and chose to forage along the roadsides in the park, until he got himself trapped and relocated within the state. A few weeks later, he was put down by Wyoming Game & Fish after supposedly feasting on a hunter’s kill that hadn’t been properly hung. by: rangerbobbie Views[697] Grizzly 399’s adult cub Grizzly 610 gave birth to her second set of cubs over the winter of 2013/2014. She already lost one to natural causes, when she appeared with this COY. A couple of days later, as tourists and photographers were crowding them along the roadside to the point of panic, she chased her cub up a tree, and then later abandoned it, allowing it to perish. by: rangerbobbie Views[1423] As the cubs get more and more accustomed to humans over time, they get more and more courageous in their pursuit of easy food sources and begin to get themselves in trouble. by: rangerbobbie Views[726]
     
    Scenes like this, where famous Grizzly Bear 399, walks her cubs directly up the roadside in Grand Teton National Park, WY while humans stand around watching as if all things are normal, are becoming way too common. Are we loving our wildlife to death? by: rangerbobbie Views[900] Children play in the waters of Oura bay, while protesters take to kayaks in an attempt to block sea drilling. The new base at Henoko is set to become one of the largest in Asia, with a double v-shaped runway extending 200 meters into the ocean. Many people are worried that it will significantly impact an area that is renowned for its natural beauty, and pristine coral reefs that are an important habitat for sea turtles and the endangered dugong. by: jessewhitehead Views[595] One of the impressive waterfalls at the Silverfalls state park -Upper North falls, Oregon by: annacalvert Views[772] Oregon waterways with lovely reflections of a still lake in early Spring by: annacalvert Views[717] Gardiner Boat Launch on the Umpqua River, in the Douglas County park is a stunning waterway in Oregon by: annacalvert Views[750]
     
    Silverfalls State park, Silverton which is near Salem, Oregon. A beautiful park with 10 waterfalls, many trails and stunning green forest to enjoy. by: annacalvert Views[1179] The old and magnificent Octopus Tree - Cape Meares, Oregon. Heritage listed and amazing to see! by: annacalvert Views[906] A red fox grabs a quick snack on the Yukon-Alaskan border. by: meranda-carter Views[433] Brandon Martinez gazes up as his hand mirrors on the Portage Glacier. by: meranda-carter Views[365] The infamous guanacos of Torres del Paine National Park. by: bananamariasouthamerica Views[649]
     
    The We are the children of urban cities,who sometimes search for a way to escape from everything civilized:from full-of-cars-roads and war on the eastern part of country, - to the silence,fascinating nature,nirvana and autentic culture. It's more exciting and unforgettable when you are hand to hand with your best friend (on the photo is my friend Maja) by: urbanhippie Views[632] The question is if there is a place for harmony where the civilization and nature cross? by: urbanhippie Views[527] Paradise by: melodytap Views[531] Carpe diem by: anatomyofarelationship Views[600]
     
    The chinstrap penguin is one of the different species of penguin which is found the South Shetlands. Among all the local fauna, it was he who was more curious about my camera, approaching at a distance that I hardly could ever have imagined. by: carluscp Views[720] Ice can be beautiful but also a barrier to navigation. A Russian scientist is forced to break a layer of ice that has formed in a short time to get out to the boat to check the status of a test he will have to study later. by: carluscp Views[655] The importance of ice in Antarctica is essential for the survival of life on the continent and the ocean balance worldwide. Their shapes and colors are due to the caprices of nature, giving indelible images. by: carluscp Views[722] The southern tip of South America is also the vast continents largest island and is known as Tierra del Fuego or 'Land of Fire'. It is separated from the mainland by Magellan's Strait, coined by the Portugese explorer Ferdinand Magellan when he was commissioned by the Spanish to lead exploration to the East Indies. To reach the Pacific Ocean from Europe he travelled across the Atlantic and found Magellan's Strait which enabled access to the Pacific without going down towards the treacherous waters off nearby Antarctica. Being in such close proximity to Antarctica, at the time Magellan passed through Tierra del Fuego there would have been many colonies of King Penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus), which can grow to one metre tall. However, the waves of colonisation that ensued resulted in such pressure from humans on their populations from land clearing, development and even as food and for export, that none would remain in the not too distant future. In recent years, however, a colony has returned to a protected bay off the north-western coast of Tierra del Fuego, and while not yet remarkably successful they have managed to produce a few offspring. This photograph was taken very early one morning and was the second time we had gone to observe the colony. On this occasion we were early enough that no other humans were around and the normally cautious penguins, which prefer to stay on the opposite side of a small river to their human observers, decided to cross the river en masse and explore their surrounds. We sat there, completely still, as troupes of them came right up to us, seemingly as curious about us as we were of them. These four came within metres of me and started singing a song while one of them turned around, seemingly to conduct their musical endeavour. Moments later they continued their exploration, however that moment is one that I will never forget. by: askdsn Views[1495] A golden evening in the French Landes, heading to beach through the woods. by: gzegosch Views[643]
     
    A night by the quiet lake of Sainte-Croix, there was a big party going on in the city across the lake. by: gzegosch Views[690] The cascade des tufs in French Jura, a beautiful hidden place, like so many in France. by: gzegosch Views[646] An evening over a vineyard in Alsace, this shot was taken two steps from the entrance of my tent. by: gzegosch Views[778] by: chiacchierare Views[271] [SLOTH ACROBATICS] One day in Panama city I walked to a market on a forested hill, Cerro Ancon. The market was just beginning and different flavours of popular Reggaeton tunes were being blasted from tinny sound systems, seemingly from all directions. Unfortunately for a local sloth, he had overnight chosen a tree right above the central activities of the daytime market, which were encroaching on the forested area. With the realisation of human chaos beneath its tree, the sloth was desperately trying to make an escape to nearby trees without having to climb down its own tree. Unfortunately for the sloth, the nearby trees were not so nearby. In this process of escape the sloth demonstrated some magnificent displays of acrobatics (and energy!) that I did not realise were possible for a sloth. It was fascinating to see the fluid, yet also awkward movements of such a strange creature. But it left me with a heavy feeling of guilt (and helplessness) as I watched this sloth's distress. I am pleased to say that eventually the sloth's efforts were rewarded and he safely made it to the arms of nearby branches, where he clambered away more quickly than I've ever seen a sloth do so. by: mimosa Views[2028]
     
    sparkling blue waters, golden sand and nature all around. a place like heaven... by: my-memories Views[896] And the curtain falls, Northern Lights near Akranes route 502 by: maitrayee Views[822] Paddle, walk, climb, descend, meet, talk, observe, feel, canoe trip challenges and transforms each of its members. Every person, every conversation, every child, every look has some message, some knowledge to pass. The exchange of culture is impressive, personal growth within this trip is inexplicable. We realize that every journey leads to the same place: ourselves. Traveling is not only leaving home, says Michel Serres, is primarily to find the other because it is from him that we learn. by: wanderlustmind Views[715] And looked upon nature with awe. (Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines) by: ylana84 Views[759] And to survive, people worked the land. (On the way to Subic, Zambales, Philippines) by: ylana84 Views[834]
     
    In the beginning there was nature. (Subic Bay, Zambales, Philippines) by: ylana84 Views[916] Once surrounded by ancient seas, the iconic Arnhem Land escarpment or “stone country” is a great example of the relationship between Aboriginal people and the land. During the wet season this sandstone wall is transformed into a plentiful oasis, brimming with fish and birds to hunt. In the dry season, it’s shady caves and residual pools provide protection from the hot Australian sun. by: arnhemland Views[2516] The utensils were there for washing. Fishermen, who lived by the side of the lake, they come to wash their domestic utensils after meal... by: swarupsphoto Views[709] Almost every day, Thura, the 10 year old son of Manue and Hayma, (his name means bravery in Burmese), takes his father’s buffaloes on a walk to the river. The buffaloes enjoy their journey grazing along the way to finally take a dip in the refreshing river. Thura sometimes joins his animal friends in the water and plays with them. He told me that the water buffalo posing with him in the photo is his oldest friend. After I departed from this village, I was overwhelmed with how this small family lived in togetherness with themselves and nature; how much the mother forest has to give to its brave child if he can appreciate and value what she has to offer by: isma Views[1350] Every early morning, the 40-year old Manue, a son of Pushia, returns with his oxen from the nearby forest with a wagon full of wood. Dressed in his traditional Myanmar longji and a jacket to warm him from the morning cold, he has been following in the footsteps of his father since he was a child. Manue delivers the wood to some of the neighbors in exchange of goods (rice, vegetables, eggs, etc) and sometimes to the neighboring villages in exchange of money that helps him buy specific goods and medicine for his family by: isma Views[1049]
