This spectacular black and white image was taken by Anuar Patjane of Tehuacan, Puebla, Mexico of divers floating around a humpback whale and her newborn calf while cruising around Roca Partida in the Revillagigedo, Mexico.

Camel Ardah

Ahmed Al Toqi of Ibra’, Ash Sharqiyah, Oman captured this photo of Camel Ardah, one of the traditional styles of camel racing between two camels controlled by experts. The faster camel is the loser so they must be running at the same speed level in the same track. The main purpose of Ardah is to showcase the beauty and strength of the Arabian camels and the riders’ skills.

A Night at Deadvlei

Beth McCarley of Denver, Colorado shot this image that almost looks like a painting. She explained, “The night before returning to Windhoek, we spent several hours at Deadvlei. The moon was bright enough to illuminate the sand dunes in the distance, but the skies were still dark enough to clearly see the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds.”
