Without changing the old traditions, at the end of each week, talented photographers from National Geographic delight us with amazing pictures of nature, give us the opportunity to look into the most remote corners of our world. And sometimes the focus is not only on flora and fauna, but also on the king of nature - His Majesty Man.
May 28
The Uyuni salt marsh in Bolivia is called the mirror of the world. It is located on the site of a dried up salt lake in the southern part of the Altiplano desert plateau, at an altitude of 3650 meters above sea level, and is naturally a favorite place for photographers.
May 29
Slacklining, an extreme sport also known for slinging or walking on a free rope, is rapidly gaining popularity. So, a good friend of the photographer, Renan Oztürk, also decided to try his hand at slacklining. It is he in the picture who is balancing on a tightrope against the backdrop of a gorgeous sunset in Rio de Janeiro.
May 30
It is quite difficult to wade through the foggy forest, following the cold wind against the back of a mountain bike. Not only is it uncomfortable and damp around, but also the visibility is disgusting. The cyclist pictured in the photo probably earned this honor with its risky determination.
May 31
It is hard to imagine a more popular destination for tourists who love caves and adventure than Monastery Canyon in Australia. Descending there, you should be aware that some sections of the route will have to waddle up to your waist in the water, making your way through mossy passages, and it will seem that there are still several days of travel before the exit.
June 01
Cuban roads are truly amazing. You can rush along the track and not see other cars for hours. But the next minute, an old classic Buick from the 1950s can easily appear in the oncoming lane. And then the Cuban landscapes with fields and mountains in the distance will sparkle with completely different colors with a retro smell.
02 june
Petra, a magical ancient land in Jordan, becomes almost mystical at night. Especially in the light of the candlesticks, which are left by the parishioners in front of the entrance to the famous Khazna, which is located at the very end of the Siq canyon. Historians are sure that Khazna is not a depository of money at all, but the tomb of one of the rulers of the Nabataeans.
03 june
Sugar Loaf is one of the most famous landmarks in Rio. Having overcome the first stage of the ascent on the funicular, you can see the magnificent Praia Vermelha beach stretching at the foot of the mountain, where famous rock bands give concerts on weekends. Climbing to the very top, you can see the whole city, its historical sites, lakes, beaches and islands from a height.
