Photograph by Shoayb Khattab
A special technique used for fishing in Fujairah, UAE, is called dhagwa. The net consists of two parts: a red part where fish are trying to escape and an open part near the coast with which they collect the fish. The white dots are birds waiting to collect some fish.

Waves, Iceland
Photograph by Sophie Carr
This is a one-second exposure of the trails left by a crashing wave over small icebergs on Jökulsárlón beach; I think it looks a bit like an octopus.

Bagpiper, Scotland
Photograph by Kaitlyn Campbell
While on a 20-day tour through England, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland, one of my favorite pictures out of the 1,500 I had taken was this one. There was a bagpiper at the tourist pull-off area playing for tips. When I showed this picture to my family, they said it looked like the piper was playing to the mountains, and that's how we like to think of it.

now this is just pure amazement this picture caught my eye along with my heart I wish I was a bird <3
Great Photograph of the "Night Sky, Patagonia", I love to go out on a summers' night, lay on the grass and lose myself among the stars.
I grew up in the Panhandle of Texas where the wind never stops blowing.
This little guy has my sympathy!
These cute little fennec foxes can be seen at the Living Desert in Rancho Mirage, CA.!! Thanks, NG.
I feel a deep connection with this photo. For me it captures the timeless, endless beauty of the cosmos. From earth.
There are some places, that are enveloped our soul to keep silence.
Where we feel their beauty through Meditetion!
Nice to see some photographers pay attention to some moment that most of people event photographer not think about it..for me, that's meant photography still can be filled with simplicity as will as endless imagination to find the moment.
