Hello my little photography lovers! It's time to forget for a moment about where you are, and, together with photographers from National Geografic, begin your journey to the most remote corners of the world to see the beauty that is hidden inside, and is available only to the lucky few. So: another series of the best photos of the outgoing week according to the version National Geografic.

18 october

In the photo by Peter Essick - one of the most popular freshwater lakes of Fraser Island (Australia). Lake McKenzie is famous not only for its crystal clear water, which reflects the stars, making the lake twinkle. But also because the sand on the beach is very white and thin, like sugar. This attracts tourists and photographers from all over the world to the lake.

Extremists would call it idolatry. But the followers of Sufism consider this to be a sincere manifestation of love. For example, in Ed Kashi's photograph, we can see women in the Pakistani city of Mitankot who came to pray at the temple of Khoja Gulam Farid, a 19th century poet who is considered a saint here.

The 20th of October

West Texas cowboy. This is the short and clear name for the photograph taken by William Albert Allard.

October 21

Abaco Island in the Bahamas is famous for its underwater caves. In the photo of Wes C. Skiles, there is one of these caves, the so-called Dan's Cave, which reaches a depth of almost 24 meters. Exploration of these caves is very valuable for science, but only 11 km of these caves have been explored since the mid-90s.

Even death can be wonderful in Mexico. In particular, for the rich drug dealers. So, in the photograph of Shaul Schwarz, we see a mausoleum being built for such a rich man. In the foreground is the wife of one of the builders of the mausoleum.

This is what you see in the picture is the future butterfly, known to science as Dryas iuli. Bright orange with black dots, with huge wingspan from 82 to 92 mm, it flies quickly and often visits the edges of forests and woodlands. Most often, this amazing insect can be seen on plants from the genus Passiflora, which are found in tropical America. It was on one of these plants that photographer Martin Oeggerli photographed the egg of the Dryas iuli butterfly, hidden there by a caring "parent" from hungry ants.

October 24

And in New York, it is common to go out on the roof and play golf, warm up in the middle of a working day, or have an unforgettable high-altitude weekend. Big city - and a short game on the roof of one of Manhattan's skyscrapers. Photo by Landon Nordeman.
