Today's photo from National Geographic features gorgeous landscapes from around the world, voted the best this week, November 21-27. And despite the fact that in a few days, autumn will be replaced by winter, among the photographs there are not only cold winter landscapes, but also warming summer landscapes.

November 21

Salmon River (Salmon River) is located in Idaho, in the northwestern United States. The river flows through central Idaho for 684 km. Two sites, Middle Fork and the main part of the Salmon River, have been protected as national undeveloped and scenic rivers of the United States since 1968.

The conical tents called lávut are a habitual temporary refuge for the Sami, the indigenous people of Scandinavia who graze reindeer in the tundra. Actor Nils Peder Gaup, vacationing here in the tundra, felt at home in the mountains. “The Sami spirit accompanies us everywhere here,” he says.

The magnificent morning landscape taken in Lithuania by photographer Eugenijus Rauduve near his own home proves that you don't have to travel far to get good pictures. You need to look more closely not only at your feet, but also raise your head to the sky.

Arrogantly, from top to bottom, a long-nosed deer from Knowle, a small estate in the UK, Kent, where there is an old castle and a chic park, looks at the world. The park is home to about a hundred deer, completely tame, who are not afraid of tourists and take food straight from their hands.

British landscapes, especially those in winter, look just as austere and tidy as those in the UK. So, last winter, photographer Gordon Esler photographed these two people who were standing under heavy snow in a park near the Greenwich Maritime College, built in the 17th century. And on the right, in the fog, the river Thames rolls its waters.

Iceland's colorful landscapes fascinate, attract, beckon not only with the freshness of colors and the purity of the sky, but also on a truly royal scale. You can imagine the scope by comparing the size of the river bed in the valley with the tiny SUV that drives by.

The moonlight gently falls on the very edge of a birch bark canoe, swaying rhythmically on the waves of the Allagash River in northern Maine, and from contemplation of this landscape it becomes so calm and quiet in my soul … Ideal weather for a leisurely walk along the river, the author of the photograph, Michael Melford, is sure.
