    Tucked away from Hsipaw town in Shan State, Nothern Myanmar, there is a small village composing of about 15 houses residing on the basin of a river.

    Freedom in Paradise. Palomino - Colombia by: momentos Views[953] As a summer well spent draws to an end, so does my journey in Yellowstone National Park. I had not experienced the beauty of Mother Nature by myself but with friends, whom we hiked, worked, and enjoyed this adventure together. 100 miles is not the end, but a small step towards bigger beginnings. by: terence1991 Views[628] As the hiking trails around Old Faithful area were all conquered, the next hike was with my colleagues further up north. On our way back just before dusk, a Bull Elk was spotted grazing on the grass below its feet at the shore of Yellowstone Lake. Moments after my camera shutter was released it returned to the forest, but it was the opportunity taken which makes the difference. by: terence1991 Views[586] Castle Geyser’s eruptions are predicted at an approximate 8 hour interval, but the next eruption was unpredictable as there had been a minor eruption. It was nature’s special performance as the full moon, wind direction, and the clear sky created a lunar rainbow formed in the mist of the eruption despite a 4 hour delay. The long wait under the harsh weather was well rewarded with nature’s special gift for me that night. by: terence1991 Views[864] Tripod was ever ready for a photo with Jeff Vanuga after Castle Geyser’s eruption. Jeff is a great friend and also a great inspiration to me. He is currently heading a National Geographic workshop in Wyoming whom we met in the park a year ago. ‘Remember, never stop shooting!’ was his farewell message before leaving on his next assignment. by: terence1991 Views[814]
     
    Yellowstone National Park is the first national park in the United States, renowned for its geothermal features and diverse wildlife. As a park employee on a student summer work and travel program, hiking was the usual off-day activity for me. During my first midnight hike, Old Faithful Geyser indulged me with a taste of nature under a perfect moon. by: terence1991 Views[591] After our working time we can do whatever we want. Sometimes we play basketball or ping-pong, sometimes we watch movie, play guitar, occasionally we make fire. Just like the picture, having a fire is my favourite entertainment, everyone could share their story, and because all the Wwoofers came from different country so we always have stories to tell. Through the communication between us and Toni, we could know what's a real local Aussie life which is very important to a traveler, and she could also know many different culture in this world. I think I was really lucky to spend 5 months with them as a Wwoofer. Knowing what's a real local life is always my intent while traveling the world. by: australianlife Views[650] These are all Wwoofers who used to live in their farm. To exchange our food and housing we need to help them making cheese as well. Sometimes it's a very hard work cause we all need to get up at midnight to make cheese or spend 12 hours in cheese room to get everything done. We work very hard to help them and they also treat us very generous. by: australianlife Views[542] This is Josh, the shepherd in this goats farm. He is the first shepherd I've ever met in my life time. I was born and raised in city so I never had a chance to live with a real shepherd. And I am always keen to meet one of these intelligent canidae. His excellent skills of handling the goats are always surprised me. For me he is very unique. by: australianlife Views[650] In order to make the best cheese, they treat their goats very well. They take the goats out to picnic everyday, they eat grains, fruits, minerals, seaweed(very expensive), vitamin, they drink fresh rain water(like human) with Italian herbs and rose hips. That's why the goats rarely sick. And the two persons behind are actually not their worker, they/re Wwoofers(willing worker on organic farm), we work for them to exchange our own food and accommodation. by: australianlife Views[502]
     
    A very hard-working farmer's name is Toni. The owner of a goat's dairy farm in Australia. They make and sell goat's cheese for living. In the farmer's market, she was selling cheese confidently. And just like her confident smile, their cheese did won several awards was given annually by Royal Show which is the largest agriculture community event in WA. by: australianlife Views[827] I was eating some delicious shrimps when suddenly I get this little guy, he stood there for a long time watching and waiting to try my food, so I made him my photo hero. by: today_is_always Views[597] Sun set at Western Ghats by: nitinv29 Views[1129]
     
    Nestled amongst the Western Ghats is 'Agumbe', called the 'Cherrapunji of South India' it is the land of the King himself, King Cobra. It is also a bio-diversity hot-spot. by: nitinv29 Views[1114] Historically the Western Ghats were well-covered in dense forests that provided wild foods and natural habitats for native tribal people. Its inaccessibility made it difficult for people from the plains to cultivate the land and build settlements. The area is ecologically sensitive to development and was declared an ecological hotspot in 1988 through the efforts of ecologist Norman Myers. Its a world heritage site. The range is home to at least 84 amphibian species, 16 bird species, seven mammals, and 1,600 flowering plants which are not found elsewhere in the world. by: nitinv29 Views[1078] As the traveller and the birds have left to settle for the night, the wooden houses stand still, lifeless amongst the misty haze. The waves continue to crash against the shore yet the beach becomes cold without life. – Kiakoura, New Zealand by: taigentrips Views[852] The washed up seaweed and driftwood light up as the last rays of the evening shine on the shore. Similar to the last few moments the traveller and the birds have in this destination. – Kiakoura, New Zealand by: taigentrips Views[746] A seagull’s movements are captured through time exposure to create a creative image with crisp golden highlights of the stones and seaweed. Clearly visible is the face of the seagull, determination on its face (an emotion similar to that of any traveller.) – Kiakoura, New Zealand by: taigentrips Views[1115]
     
    A seabird navigates its landing through the haze on the shore. As a bird is a symbol of freedom and adventure it symbolizes the traveller through his journey, together they become linked. – Kiakoura, New Zealand by: taigentrips Views[889] The true essence of nature is captured as a weary traveller wonders the beach of the Kiakoura coast. The peaceful bliss of the haze allows him the chance to reflect as the sun goes down. It gives a slight mystique to this image as we see brought to life the traveller and the bird. – Kiakoura, New Zealand by: taigentrips Views[1156] The quest to find this mysterious lake needs a hunter to guide the way. by: organicisms Views[868] Locals in Barlig speak of an enchanted lake that appears only if she wants to be seen. by: organicisms Views[1157] Heading north by the coastal road from Saranda. The wonderful scenery is disturbed all the way long by rubble from ongoing constructions. by: zsumaksa Views[1340]
     
    Gantheaum Point, Broome, WA. This natural paradise in the Kimberley would have to be one of my favourite places in Australia! So raw and untouched, beauty on so many levels. The contrast of the red dirt and the aqua ocean. The warmth in the air and the warmth of the people. Unfortunately there are some greedy humans trying to destroy this area. Please visit this website. http://www.savethekimberley.com/ Get informed and help save the Kimberley! by: sunshine-photography Views[920] Sunny morning in Parangtritis beach, the waves were a little tight, but then fun. The sunlight which is highlights in one corner and the water who looks sparkling cause admiration for the two girls who enjoy the sea. by: itsindonesia Views[673] Everyone and everything is alone in the wintery landscape. by: dlbrokdesign Views[468] Winter is cold by Niagara Falls, I know, I live here! There is little life besides the residents, two and four legged. by: dlbrokdesign Views[539] An area at Niagara Falls closed off to tourists in Winter. Cold and lonely, but beauty in the solitude. by: dlbrokdesign Views[411]
     
    Cardinal alone in the winter landscape. by: dlbrokdesign Views[832] In the Andean environment, cows are the main source of the farmers income. They are well taken care of and this one, evidently, knows how much they worth these days. Striking a pose for an AD, maybe? by: maservita Views[807] Horses are used for transportation. After hours of extensive work, this horse, tied up to a tree, rests while two birds sit on its back. Couldn't help but to think if this one has had enough? Because it looked tired and sad. by: maservita Views[1608] Paradise is a place you have to make yourself; it's not made for you but for him it's called With a hoarse voice, the labourer describes the dream of a land he wishes to own. While he was staring at the sky, looking at the black vultures flying across the mountains he was telling me that he could never trade his surroundings: the silence, the weather, the animals, the beautiful landscape... for anything. by: maservita Views[833]
     
    Madagascar was torn from the African mainland some 160 million years ago and evolved a highly diversified assemblage of landscapes, each home to unique animal and plant species. The semi-arid southwestern part of the island is dominated by vast savannahs, such as that of Isalo National Park. Those grasslands are expanding rapidly due to abusive land use and climate change, threatening the very few remaining forests of the country. by: sandra_ab Views[883] I’ll try to tell in five images the story of the millions of fascinating men and women of Madagascar and of the thousands of living species found nowhere else on Earth. Let’s start our journey on Baobab Alley, an iconic landmark of the country. Baobab trees can live up to a few thousand years and hold an important place in local customs and beliefs. Six of the world’s eight species of baobabs can only be found in Madagascar. by: sandra_ab Views[668] high dynamic range image of their home- the place they always come back to. by: sadswanstory Views[649] The three swans close by each other ,but away from everything else. by: sadswanstory Views[929] On the second day of my Everest trek, I came across this old abandoned water mill, laden with snow. The small water cascade still flows underneath it. by: captivate Views[1345]
