Lemurs, Madagascar
Photograph by Stephen Alvarez, National Geographic.
Decken's sifakas appear right at home in their karst home in western Madagascar. These lemurs live among the unusual pinnacles of the Tsingy de Bemaraha, which started to form 1.8 million years ago as groundwater dissolved and shaped the porous limestone.
Timber Wolves
Photograph by Jacqueline Crivello, Your Shot.
The secret behaviors of the timber wolves revealed in this photograph ascribe almost human attributes within the realm of affection and offerings of familial respect. We see activity pictured that normally stays well hidden from the human eye. It touches our heart and leaves us feeling as though a pet has just wandered through our mind leaving a lasting impression as less than fearless creature, but a caring and giving huggable friend. Yet their complexities we know exist.
Cotton Grass, Iceland
Photograph by Jennifer Jesse.
This photograph was taken in July of 2010 while hiking in a region of Iceland called Landmannalaugar. People come to this area in order to see the colorful rhyolite mountains. During our trip we had come across small amounts of cotton grass along the roads, but I never expected to see such a huge field of it. This image represents what Iceland is all about. Just when you think the landscape can't surprise you any more, something else even more amazing comes along.

Photograph by Antonino Belfiore, My Shot.
Shot in Cava d'Ispica, a fascinating valley close to the town of Ispica, Sicily. The valley presents a variety of cliff dwellings and rock-cut tombs dating from the Bronze Age.
