I have to admit that I didn’t know that creature on top of this shack was a crayfish. But I was sure that at this shack you would get seafood. At first I went “ewe” when I saw the image, but a second later I was licking my lips thinking of grilled garlic lobster. The picture has been taken by user The Wide Wide World in Waipapa Bay, New Zealand. Although it’s photo difficult to get wrong, I still think it’s a cool and sharp shot of an obviously unique shack.

Maine is one of the few states on the East Coast I have never visited. But there’s something about the state that I find particularly compelling. I always picture rocky coastlines and vast swaths of virgin pine trees, dotted with tiny lighthouses and foaming surf. Today’s image from Flickr user ableimes is pretty much a perfect match for the idea of Maine I had envisioned in my head – sometimes perception does indeed match reality! It’s pretty much picture-postcard beautiful.

I picked this photo, because often some of the best photography is about making the mundane interesting. Although airports are full of people and constant activity, it’s probably not on the top list of photography destinations. But in this photo, Tapeleg manages to find a creative angle to shoot a scene that travelers probably don’t even give a second thought to. I think it’s the use of lines in this view of the Denver International Airport, and the fact that there are no people in the foreground, giving the shot a very clean feel.

It’s hard to take a bad photo of the Torres del Paine National Park in southern Chile. I should know– I’m lucky enough to be there right now. This shot from flickr user bajy doesn’t quite do the magnificent park justice– no photograph can– but it comes close. A beautiful photo of a beautiful place.

This really is a shot of a lifetime. Max, a.k.a. fiznatty, took this picture of a mountain lion in the Wasatch Mountains in Utah.

I’ll let him explain the once in a lifetime picture:

When I traveled to Utah for a couple days in hopes of seeing a wild mountain lion, I wasn’t optimistic. My first morning in the tree stand was on par with my expectations, as only a few birds fluttered about.

We returned in the afternoon and I had been sitting in the stand for an hour-and-a-half when the sun dipped behind the mountains. I looked down and to my right, and noticed my guide in his ground blind, standing and taking pictures. I looked around to see what it was he was shooting, but there was nothing. I found out later that he was bored and was taking pictures of me.

So I sighed, settled back in my seat and looked over to my left toward the spring… and there it was, having just emerged from the woods.

I can only imagine how you felt, Max. What an amazing capture.
