Ah Shi Sle Pah Wilderness, New Mexico, USA
Ah Shi Sle Pah Wilderness, New Mexico, USA
Nature has a knack for balancing the impossible. In New Mexico"s Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness, towering hoodoos perch hefty rock caps on slender stems. Wind, water and ice have spent roughly 75 million years sculpting these remote badlands into an open-air gallery that feels more alien than terrestrial.Desktop Version
Nyhavn Canal, Copenhagen, Denmark
Nyhavn Canal, Copenhagen, Denmark
In Copenhagen, Nyhavn Canal is a burst of colour and history. In Denmark"s capital, bright, gabled houses lean toward the water, their reflections rippling beside old wooden ships. Carved out in the 1670s under King Christian V, this 17th-century canal once served as a busy gateway where cargo vessels unloaded goods straight into the city"s heart. Sailors crowded its taverns, and the harbour gained a rough reputation long before it became the postcard-perfect place seen today.Desktop Version

Migrating wildebeest crossing Mara River in Masai Mara, Kenya
In the Masai Mara, Kenya, the ground seems to move. A vast surge of wildebeest—hoofed grazers built for endurance—travel in tightly packed herds, drawn by fresh grass and water replenished by seasonal rains.Desktop Version

Florida burrowing owlet, Cape Coral, Florida, United States
Owls are far more than the wide-eyed birds they appear to be. Found on every continent except Antarctica, they are known for forward-facing eyes, flat facial discs that channel sound and specialised hearing. Many species hunt in near silence thanks to soft-edged feathers. Their eyes remain fixed in their sockets, so they rely on remarkably flexible necks to scan their surroundings. From forests to deserts, owls inhabit a wide range of environments and play an important role in maintaining ecosystem balance.Desktop Version

Colourful luzzus—traditional Maltese fishing boats—fill the sheltered harbour of Marsaxlokk, a village on Malta"s southeastern coast. Just a short drive from Valletta, the island"s capital, it remains one of the country"s main fishing hubs, where daily life follows the steady pace of the sea. Home to roughly 4,000 residents, the village is also widely known for its lively waterfront, especially its popular Sunday fish market, and for the steady return of boats carrying fresh catches each morning.Desktop Version
Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland
Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland
Finland is famous for the northern lights, its high happiness rankings, saunas and thousands of lakes. Helsinki adds history, design and the Baltic Sea to that list. The story begins in 1550, when King Gustav I of Sweden founded a trading town that would become Finland"s capital in 1812. Today, a walk through the city can take you from Senate Square and the white-domed Helsinki Cathedral to the sea fortress of Suomenlinna, a UNESCO World Heritage Site accessible by ferry.Desktop Version
Lava flows spill into the ocean on Big Island, Hawaii
Lava flows spill into the ocean on Big Island, Hawaii
Most landscapes change over thousands of years. Volcanoes can reshape them in a matter of hours, and on Hawaii"s Big Island, they continue to do just that. Recognising the scientific and natural importance of this ever-changing environment, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was established in 1916. For more than a century, it has protected more than 1,430 square kilometres of volcanic terrain, native forests and rare wildlife.Desktop Version
Virginia Creeper Trail, Damascus, Virginia, United States
Virginia Creeper Trail, Damascus, Virginia, United States
Some railways retire. The Virginia Creeper Trail simply changed gears. Stretching 55 kilometres through southwest Virginia, this trail follows a former rail line once used to haul lumber and iron ore through the Appalachian Mountains. Its unusual name traces back to the steam locomotives that laboured up steep grades in the early 1900s.Desktop Version

Monument Valley, Navajo Nation, Arizona, United States
Some landscapes are famous. Monument Valley is legendary. Straddling the Arizona–Utah border within the Navajo Nation, this desert wonder is shaped by towering sandstone buttes that rise as much as 305 metres above the valley floor. Known in Navajo as Tsé Bii" Ndzisgaii—"valley of the rocks"—the region blends dramatic geology with living culture.Desktop Version
Bengal tigers at Ranthambore National Park, Rajasthan, India
Bengal tigers at Ranthambore National Park, Rajasthan, India
Follow this tiger family through Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan, India, where every step seems effortless and every shadow could hide a striped giant. These are Bengal tigers, built for both stealth and power: an adult can stretch over 3 metres from nose to tail and weigh up to 230 kilograms, yet walk without making a sound. Their distinctive stripes also play a part in a landscape where visibility is a double-edged sword, helping them blend into tall grasses and dappled forests so prey struggle to spot them.Desktop Version

A kelp forest, Channel Islands National Park, California, USA
Off Anacapa Island, California, USA, the ocean grows its own forests. Within Channel Islands National Park—also known as the "Galápagos of North America"—giant kelp can stretch beyond 30 metres in length, forming buoyant ribbons lifted by air-filled bladders and anchored below by rootlike holdfasts.Desktop Version
Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park, British Columbia, Canada
Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park, British Columbia, Canada
Some places are best introduced with one word: Yoho. It is a Cree expression of wonder, which is exactly the reaction most people have. Established in 1886, Yoho National Park protects part of the Canadian Rockies in British Columbia. Visitors can stop at Takakkaw Falls, where water plunges more than 370 metres, or explore the world-famous Burgess Shale fossil sites. These rocks preserve the remains of marine animals that lived more than 500 million years ago.Desktop Version
Red mangrove in the Pig Keys, Honduras
Red mangrove in the Pig Keys, Honduras
At sunrise in Honduras" Pig Keys—small, low-lying coastal islets tucked within mangrove-rich wetlands—a red mangrove lifts its tangled roots above glassy water. Red mangroves are often the first trees to colonise tropical coastlines, using their distinctive arching roots to anchor in soft, oxygen-poor mud where saltwater and land collide. These roots help trap sediment, stabilise shorelines and create calm waters where other coastal plants can take hold. Their dense networks also reduce erosion, soften the impact of waves and help shield nearby communities from storms. Beneath the surface, the submerged roots provide shelter for young fish, crabs and shrimp, making these wetlands one of the ocean"s most productive nurseries.Desktop Version
Isla Cristina, Huelva, Spain
Isla Cristina, Huelva, Spain
In Isla Cristina, Huelva, Spain, the Atlantic shapes a sunlit coastline where salt marshes, beaches and a rich seafaring tradition set the rhythm of daily life. From above, its wide stretches of fine sandy beach and the channels winding through the saltworks reflect the close connection between the landscape and the fishing industry, which has long defined the town"s identity.Desktop Version
American flamingos, Isabela Island, Galápagos Islands, Ecuador
American flamingos, Isabela Island, Galápagos Islands, Ecuador
The first thing you notice is the colour. A flock of American flamingos stands in the shallow water on Isabela Island, Galápagos Islands, and the water seems to borrow a hint of pink from their feathers. Those feathers were not always that colour. Flamingos hatch grey and gradually turn pink as pigments from algae and small crustaceans accumulate in their bodies.Desktop Version
Pink dahlia flower
Pink dahlia flower
Some flowers quietly fill a garden. Dahlias arrive as if they have been cast in the lead role. Native to Mexico, these members of the daisy family come in more than 57,000 cultivated varieties, thanks in part to their unusual genetics. Dahlias are octoploids, meaning they have eight sets of chromosomes, which helps create blooms that range from tiny buttons to 36 centimetres across.Desktop Version
Port de Saint-Goustan, Auray, Brittany, France
Port de Saint-Goustan, Auray, Brittany, France
In France, Port de Saint-Goustan sits just below Auray"s upper town, where a small inlet meets the Gulf of Morbihan estuary. The harbour lies at the confluence of the Auray and Loc"h rivers, creating its sheltered, storybook setting. In the 13th century, the Dukes of Brittany built a bridge, a port and a castle here; the fortress has vanished, but cobbled quays, narrow lanes and timber-framed houses still line the water. From Place de la République, Rue du Château passes art studios and galleries down to the waterfront; ramps along the Loc"h, built on old fortifications, open views across the port. Cross the four-arched stone bridge to Place Saint-Sauveur, then climb toward Saint-Gildas Church, where the town rises above the harbour. The quay also marks a transatlantic moment: Benjamin Franklin arrived here in 1776, and a dock now bears his name. Today, cafés and small boats fill the scene, while nearby Auray hosts a well-known weekly market and lively summer events.Desktop Version
Santa Catalina Arch, Antigua, Guatemala
Santa Catalina Arch, Antigua, Guatemala
Some structures weren"t meant to stand out—but time had other ideas. At sunrise, the Santa Catalina Arch glows over the streets of Antigua, Guatemala, its yellow façade catching the light just right as cobblestones stretch ahead and Agua Volcano rises in the distance. The arch was built in the 17th century to solve a practical problem: cloistered nuns needed to cross between convent buildings without being seen from the street. Privacy, not postcards, created one of Central America"s most photographed landmarks. Irony holds up well over time.Desktop Version
Moon and Earth captured by the Artemis II crew
Moon and Earth captured by the Artemis II crew
From the moon"s cratered surface, Earth can appear as a thin, glowing crescent against the darkness—a rare view that reverses our usual perspective. This stark landscape, shaped by billions of years of impacts, preserves a record of the early solar system. Earlier this year, Artemis II became the first crewed mission to fly around the moon since 1972. Its successful 10-day journey tested the Orion spacecraft and other systems that will support future lunar missions.Desktop Version
Barn swallows of different subspecies resting together
Barn swallows of different subspecies resting together
Perched on slender reeds, a group of barn swallows gathers in a moment of stillness that contrasts with their usual speed. Known for swift, acrobatic flight and deeply forked tails, these birds are built for life on the wing. They catch insects midair and travel vast distances between continents. Subtle variations in colour and markings suggest that more than one subspecies may be present, reflecting the barn swallow"s extensive global range.Desktop Version
Devils Bridge, Kromlau, Saxony, Germany
Devils Bridge, Kromlau, Saxony, Germany
Reflected in still water, the Rakotzbrücke—commonly known as the Devil"s Bridge—forms a near-perfect stone circle in Saxony, Germany. Commissioned in 1860, the narrow basalt structure was carefully engineered so that its arch and reflection align to form a seamless ring when the lake is still. Made from basalt, a volcanic rock, it reflects precise design rather than practical function, its striking geometry intended purely for visual effect. A popular photo subject, it has also appeared in films, including "The Matrix Resurrections" (2021). Today, the fragile bridge can only be admired from the shore, as crossing is prohibited to preserve it.Desktop Version
Vai, Crete, Greece
Vai, Crete, Greece
On the remote northeastern tip of Crete, Greece, lies a quiet corner far from typical tourist routes. Today"s image shows Vai Beach, a broad curve of golden sand bordered by calm, shallow waters of the Aegean Sea. With sunbeds, umbrellas and showers, it"s ideal for swimming, relaxing or enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. But what truly sets Vai apart is just beyond the sand: Europe"s largest natural palm grove. It consists of more than 5,000 Cretan date palm trees, a species native to Crete and parts of Turkey.Desktop Version
Navy Pier, Chicago, Illinois, United States
Navy Pier, Chicago, Illinois, United States
Some places are built for a single purpose; others keep reinventing themselves. Navy Pier in Chicago, Illinois, United States, falls into the second category. The structure stretches more than 915 metres into the lake and was designed as part of Edward H. Bennett"s and Daniel Burnham"s 1909 Plan of Chicago. Opened in 1916, the pier was built for shipping, recreation and passenger travel on Lake Michigan. It was renamed Navy Pier in honour of World War I naval veterans.Desktop Version

Aerial view of land and ocean, Victoria, Australia
Victoria, a southeastern state of Australia, extends along more than 1,800 kilometres of coastline shaped by the Southern Ocean. From above, its beaches appear as sweeping bands of pale sand edged by turquoise waters and rugged cliffs. This dynamic interaction of land and sea defines much of the region"s appeal. The famous Great Ocean Road traces roughly 240 kilometres of this shoreline, winding past popular surf spots, forested headlands and seaside towns.Desktop Version
