- 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.

- This is a one-second exposure of the trails left by a crashing wave over small icebergs on Jökulsárlón beach; I think it looks a bit like an octopus.

- field_caption
- Every Atlantic sunset in Essaouira is different, but this one was particularly breathtaking. Seagulls - and their constant harsh cries - are ubiquitous in Essaouira and it is difficult to take a photo without one. But this bird could not have been more beautifully placed. The romantic ruggedness of Essaouira is evinced here by the fishing boat and the old fortress tower.
