Unexpected side effect of floods in 2010 in Pakistan – millions of spiders escape from the water to climb a tree. Because of the extent of flooding and its duration, and many trees were completely covered with cobwebs. People living in the area can be seen very rarely, they also reported that the mosquito has become much smaller. Their is a fact that people who have lost everything due to flooding, mosquitoes do not bite – this is a big doubtful, but at least some relief.

This place means a lot to me. Lake Fellenzee is at the foot of Hundshtayn (canine stone). As I and my dog grew near the place where she died, I buried her in the lake, and mountain dog became the headstone on the grave of a great dog. After the funeral we went up the mountain in honor of Spock (the name of the dog). This photo hangs in my kitchen in memory of Dr. Spock.

In a Year Death Valley drops about 4 inches of rain. But somehow after four years we witnessed- the storm at sunset in the background. For me, this is the reward for all the time and a great example of the best that can happen only with the photographer. When you get to the right place at the right time.

Japan, despite its modernity, adheres to the traditions that are passed down from generation to generation. That’s what makes Japan one of the most beautiful and intriguing place on Earth. City of Gion in Kyoto – one of the places that once in, you forget about the rest of Japan. The cobbled streets with little houses of traditional architecture. If you’re lucky – you can see a beautiful geisha, hurrying to the next meeting. Do not forget to bring your camera and keep it handy.21. Danielle Goldstein

One morning I looked around in Hawaii in search of what could be photographed. And almost walked around. Something made me pay attention to the palm leaf. I stopped and noticed a small gecko. Periodically, he pokes his head out of the leaves to see if I did not go. When he saw me he was hiding, but then again stuck out. We played this game until I could not photograph it.

The last few years, I shot a female leopard with cubs, and spent many nights with them. It is no beacon, so when I found this family, tried to stay with them as long as possible. This evening the female hyena ahead and took her prey (gazelle), and sat on the edge of a cliff, with a rising moon in the background.
wow u are amazing good work i am reel impressed
It's not him, it's all different photographers. you have to look at the names
In No. 5, the mountain is Mount Rainier, not Rayner.
Shut up Nick*
Mapleton, Iowa… not Meyplotone, Iowa
There is a "Battle of the Civil War"? How about " a battle during the Civil War"
18 doesn't make a whole lot of sense: "he still remembers how each of them…"
Wow, these pictures are incredible, but I hope these people are only photographers and not journalists. The posts were flooded with grammar mistakes.
It seems to me the same person is creating all the comments for these, NOT the photographers. Terrible spelling and grammar! The photographs are awesome. If the photographers were truly writing these you'd think they would have at least gotten the names of the places they were photographing correct. (??)
It is possible that whoever is captioning the photos may not speak English very well. Just a thought.
jeez people, so picky picky… isn't this the *Photography* competition? i doubt if these fine photographers are being judged on their english skills…. just sayin….
Seriously, the captions distracted from the beautiful artwork. If blogging is your medium, learn to write!
