A fennec fox walks against the wind in Morocco. The fennec, or desert
fox, is a small nocturnal fox found in the Sahara Desert in North
Africa. (© Francisco Mingorance/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)
A group of 12-14 hyenas were chasing a herd of 7-8 elephants. The
elephant herd included 2 adult females, a few teenagers, and a baby that
was a few days old (belonging to one of the adult females). The hyenas
were trying to get at the baby. In this picture, the mother is kicking
at the hyenas (© Jayesh Mehta/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)
This tabular iceberg floats majestically in the Southern Ocean a few
miles from South Georgia Island. Formerly a whaling station, the island
is now an Antarctic research center. It was the ultimate destination of
Ernest Shackelton's desperate rescue voyage in 1916 (© Sue Volek/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)
I have been traveling around the world and parts of Asia for the last
six months and this is a shot I took at Tiger Palace in Bangkok, this is
one of just a few tiger sanctuaries in Thailand that do not drug the
animals, and because of this they sometimes get incredibly playful, here
the tigers are having a play fight in some water. What was truly
amazing was the speed at which they move, one minute they are 200 yards
away, the next, they are right next to you staring down like they are
deciding how you taste (© Daniel Sakal/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)
This picture is not a photo of painting, landscape nor I have used any
Photoshop except minor cropping, rotation and converting from raw to
jpeg. It is colored threads/wool hanging from the wall in an amazing way
with a nail head coming out in between. I tried to create a feeling of
moon and sea (© Aditya Vardhan Tibrewala/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)
I have seen alligators and turtles together in ponds before, but never
like this! I was at Bluebill Pond in Harris Neck NWR when I saw what I
thought was an alligator sunning itself on a stump. As I got closer I
realized that it was actually perched on the back of a turtle! I wish I
had been there to witness how this surprising esprit de corps had came
to pass (© Mary Ellen Urbanski/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)
Living in Seattle I am spoiled by its beautiful skyline and the iconic
Space Needle. This was not my first attempt capturing the moon with the
Space Needle. After one failed attempt, I went back the next day for a
second attempt and was treated with perfect conditions. As the moon rose
above the horizon I was in disbelief as to how big it was, dwarfing the
entire Space Needle observation deck (© Hai Nguyen/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)
While on safari in Kruger National Park we watched a coalition of four
male cheetahs crossing the plain. This one got distracted and fell
behind. Once he noticed the others were gone, he sprinted to catch up. I
caught him nicely with a slow shutter pan (© Douglas Croft/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)
Bonobos...the unknown Ape. Most people do not even know what Bonobos
are. I have been documenting their behavior for over 4 years now at the
Jacksonville Zoo here in Florida and all I can say is this: "Minutes
turn to hours when I am photographing Bonobos. I love to watch their
mannerisms and interactions with each other. They are without a doubt
our closest relative. It is my dream to one day get a chance to
photograph them in the wild in their own world in the DRC. (© Graham McGeorge/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)
I took this photograph near the spillway of Jordan lake dam shortly
after the Osprey returned to my area for the 2013 season. Early in the
spring, you can find them fishing at the base of the dam. I love
photographing wildlife, but have a special place in my heart for any
type of raptor (© Brad Lenear/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)
Pergamon was an ancient Greek city in Aeolis, today located 16 miles
(26 km) from the Aegean Sea on a promontory on the north side of the
river Caicus. Some ancient authors regarded it as a colony of the
Arcadians, but the various origin stories all belong to legend (© Mehmet Fatih Yaldiz/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)
This image is shot in Kampung Pulo in East Jakarta. This village is
unique with their various colors and plenty and maze like alleyways. I
waited for a perfect moment on this dark alley when a child went out of
his home and ran through the alley to meet his friends to play (© Michael Ken/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)
This church was built about 200 years ago on the banks of Hemavathi
River near Hassan, India. About 25 years before, Gorur Dam was built,
and every year the monsoons fill up the reservoir and flood the church,
submerging it. Every Cycle takes away part of this holy place until
nothing will remain. Hopefully this picture would provide a view of what
man makes and how nature takes it away (© Gurdyal Singh/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)
