Colourful boats in Marsaxlokk Harbour, Malta
Colourful luzzus—traditional Maltese fishing boats—fill the sheltered harbour of Marsaxlokk, a village on Malta"s southeastern coast.

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

Whytecliff Park, West Vancouver, British Columbia
Whytecliff Park, West Vancouver, British Columbia
The best route here isn"t built with concrete. Instead, the tide reveals a rocky path leading from Whytecliff Park to Whyte Islet in West Vancouver. A few hours later, the sea quietly covers the crossing again, making timing part of the experience. This shoreline has drawn visitors for generations. The tide opens the path; wet rocks keep you humble. The reward is a sweeping view back towards the beach and the hillside homes of Gleneagles.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
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
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

Ah Shi Sle Pah Wilderness, New Mexico, United States
Ah Shi Sle Pah Wilderness, New Mexico, United States
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
Wildlife crossing near Zakrzów, Poland
Wildlife crossing near Zakrzów, Poland
Roads solved one problem but quietly created another. People could travel faster than ever, while wildlife faced highways cutting across routes they had followed for generations. The result was more collisions, fragmented habitats and isolated wildlife populations. That challenge led to wildlife crossings called ecoducts: bridges or tunnels designed to reconnect habitats and give animals a safe way across busy roads. Some of the earliest modern examples appeared in France during the 1950s, while the Netherlands later refined the concept with broad, green bridges covered in soil and native vegetation.Desktop Version
International Day of the Worlds Indigenous Peoples

Today, the International Day of the World"s Indigenous Peoples invites a closer look at communities whose stories stretch far beyond recorded history. Proclaimed by the United Nations in 1994 and first observed in 1995, the day honours Indigenous Peoples worldwide. More than 476 million Indigenous people live across about 90 countries, sustaining thousands of cultures and many of the world"s roughly 7,000 languages. In Canada, First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples each have distinct histories, traditions and languages that continue to shape the country"s identity.Desktop Version
Perseid meteor shower over Tenerife, Spain
Perseid meteor shower over Tenerife, Spain
Not every summer tradition happens on the ground. Some take place hundreds of kilometres overhead, one meteor at a time. The Perseids return every year from mid-July through late August, usually peaking around August 12–13. Visible across much of the world, they can produce dozens of meteors per hour under dark, clear skies. Each streak is a tiny fragment of debris left behind by Comet Swift–Tuttle as Earth moves through its dust trail, appearing to radiate from the constellation Perseus. In Canada, dark-sky destinations such as Jasper National Park in Alberta and Torrance Barrens Dark-Sky Preserve in Ontario are among the best places to enjoy the annual display.Desktop Version
World Elephant Day
World Elephant Day
On August 12, World Elephant Day invites us to pause and consider not just the size of these animals, but the depth of their lives. In places like Amboseli National Park in Kenya—captured in this image—a herd doesn"t simply pass through the landscape; it remembers it. Matriarchs guide their families between water sources, tracing routes shaped as much by memory as by terrain.Desktop Version

Ross Errilly Friary, County Galway, Ireland
What do swans, secret hideaways and a medieval fish tank have in common? They"re all part of the story of Ross Errilly Friary. Founded around 1351, this well-preserved Franciscan friary in Ireland is often called Ross Abbey, though it never had an abbot because it was never an abbey.Desktop Version

Aerial view of Palmanova, a fortress city in Friuli, Italy
From above, Palmanova looks less like a town and more like a carefully drawn star set into the plains of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. Founded by the Republic of Venice in 1593, this fortress city was designed for defence, order and spectacle. Its streets radiate from a central square, while its walls are shaped into a precise nine-pointed pattern. That geometry was no accident. Palmanova became one of the most influential models of early modern military architecture. It was protected by concentric fortifications built first under Venice and later strengthened and expanded during the Napoleonic period.Desktop Version
Common blue butterfly
Common blue butterfly
That quick glimpse of blue fluttering through a field has a story that begins much earlier, with a tiny caterpillar and a surprising survival trick. The common blue is found across Europe, North Africa and parts of Asia, feeding on flower nectar as an adult. It starts life as a small egg, often placed by a female on a host plant such as bird"s-foot trefoil. The real surprise comes during its caterpillar stage, when ants play an unexpected role in its survival. After hatching, the caterpillar feeds on leaves before entering the next stage of its transformation. Along the way, it produces a sugary substance called honeydew that ants feed on. As a way of saying thanks, the ants may protect the caterpillar from predators.Desktop Version
