European hedgehog, France
European hedgehog, France
Spring arrives with a small, spiky ambassador: the European hedgehog, spotted here in France. Part cuddle, part survival gear, this tiny forager is mostly nocturnal and usually solitary, guided mainly by smell and sound. Its job description is simple: roam, sniff through leaf litter and vacuum up invertebrates like worms, beetles, slugs and caterpillars—the kind of snacks that keep ecosystems running and gardeners smiling. When danger shows up, it doesn"t negotiate or flee. It curls into a tight ball and lets its spines do the talking.Desktop Version

Paradise Cave, Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, Vietnam
Paradise Cave makes a powerful first impression the moment visitors step inside. This vast limestone cavern lies deep within Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in central Vietnam, a region marked by rugged mountains and countless hidden caves. Stretching 31 kilometres, Paradise Cave is one of Asia"s longest dry caves, and its scale is immediately apparent. High ceilings rise above the walkways and layered patterns formed by mineral-rich water over millions of years line the walls.Desktop Version

Peggys Point Lighthouse, Atlantic Coast, Nova Scotia
Peggy"s Cove is a small yet captivating village on the rugged coast of Nova Scotia that offers a glimpse of life by the sea.

The surrounding landscape, with its windswept beauty and crashing waves, feels almost untouched by time.Desktop Version
Bláhver, Hveravellir, Iceland
Bláhver, Hveravellir, Iceland
Have you ever wondered what happens when fire, ice and time negotiate the same territory? Iceland"s Hveravellir geothermal field has the answer. In this highland hotspot, energy from the Earth"s interior meets the icy surface, triggering a volatile dialogue between pressure, temperature and stone. Fumaroles hiss, steam curls into the air and the ground paints itself with sulphur whites, rust reds and ochre yellows—not only artistry, but chemical reactions driven by extreme heat. In today"s image, Bláhver, a natural hot spring, dazzles in electric blue. Its colour comes from mineral- and silica-rich waters that reflect light on the surface.Desktop Version

Church of Notre Dame de Bon-Port, Les Sables-dOlonne, France
Under the vaulted ceiling of Notre-Dame de Bon-Port in Les Sables-d"Olonne, a seaside town in western France, the stone ribs still guide the gaze upward.

Jasper National Park in Alberta
Jasper National Park in Alberta
Can you picture 11,000 square kilometres of protected wilderness? That"s Jasper National Park in Alberta. Established in 1907 as part of a growing network of protected landscapes in the Canadian Rockies, it was designated a national park in 1930. The park reflects both conservation efforts and much older Indigenous connections, including those of the Nakoda and Secwépemc peoples. Its terrain ranges from glacier-fed rivers and alpine meadows to dense conifer forests dominated by spruce and pine.Desktop Version

Arbor Day celebrates the quiet power of trees—the way they steady ecosystems, shelter wildlife, cool cities and shape the environments we rely on every day.

Harbour and longtail boats at Ko Samui, Thailand
Harbour and longtail boats at Ko Samui, Thailand
Do not be fooled by how simple Ko Samui"s longtail boats look from a distance; decades of local ingenuity have shaped their slender frames. These vessels, known in Thailand as "ruea hang yao," emerged in the early 20th century, when fishermen repurposed vehicle engines to navigate shallow waters that larger boats couldn"t reach. Handcrafted plank by plank, each boat reflects generations of skill. Their hulls burst with bold, striking colours, while decorative cloth and flowers often crown the bows—Buddhist blessings meant to safeguard both the boat and its crew.Desktop Version
Spring equinox
Spring equinox
A white snowdrop is spring"s quiet debut. No confetti, no countdown—just a delicate flower appearing as the spring equinox balances day and night. Snowdrops are among the first to bloom, often pushing through cold soil before winter fully packs up. Their drooping, bell-shaped flowers may look delicate, but they"re built for early arrival. Special antifreeze proteins in their cells help them tolerate frost, making them well suited to unpredictable late-winter weather.Desktop Version
Peach trees in Cieza, Murcia, Spain
Peach trees in Cieza, Murcia, Spain
Spring hits differently in Cieza. It doesn"t gently unfold—it erupts with colour. Between February and March, this small city in Spain"s Murcia region is the epicentre of "La Floración," the flowering of peach trees. In a matter of days, more than 4,856 hectares—Spain"s largest municipal peach production—transform into the sea of colour we see in today"s image.Desktop Version
Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska, United States
Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska, United States
Hidden just outside Juneau, Alaska, the Mendenhall Glacier feels almost unreal, inside and out. Step into one of its rare blue ice caves, and the world turns quiet and luminous, with light filtering through centuries-old compacted ice. The glacier stretches about 21 kilometres from the Juneau Icefield, slowly flowing towards the valley below and reshaping itself year by year.Desktop Version
A mute swan reflected on tranquil waters
A mute swan reflected on tranquil waters
Swans are admired for their looks, but there is more going on than a calm, graceful glide over the water. These strong, territorial birds have a long history of human involvement. Introduced to Canada from Europe in the 1870s for parks and estates, mute swans established feral populations that now live year-round in parts of Ontario and beyond.Desktop Version
Star Wars Day
Star Wars Day
May the 4th be with you! On Star Wars Day, reality cosplays as science fiction and dares you to tell the difference. Our image takes us to Ksar Ouled Soltane in Tunisia"s Tataouine district, where stacked clay granaries rise like sand‑coloured fortresses. Dating back to the 15th century, this storehouse complex was built by Berber communities to protect harvests from heat, theft and time. Function first. Beauty as a side effect.Desktop Version
The Wave, Vejle, Denmark
The Wave, Vejle, Denmark

International Dark Sky Week
International Dark Sky Week
When the lights go down, the universe puts on a show. International Dark Sky Week, celebrated each April, invites everyone to rediscover the night and learn why darkness is worth protecting. Launched in 2003, the week highlights how excessive artificial light affects wildlife, human health, energy use and our ability to see the stars. Fewer lights don"t mean less safety—smart, well-designed lighting can do both.Desktop Version
Seattle, Washington, United States

Steep streets lead down to piers that sweep across Elliott Bay. Rising above the shoreline, the Space Needle stands out as the city"s most recognisable landmark. Pike Place Market, founded in 1907, overlooks the waterfront and continues to anchor daily life and long-held traditions.Desktop Version
Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park, British Columbia
Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park, British Columbia
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

This rush of awe is celebrated every March 27 as World Theatre Day.Desktop Version
