Mount Catamount, a part of the Adirondack mountain range, is incredibly beautiful in autumn, spring, winter - at the turn of the seasons, when nature has something to surprise us, its connoisseurs. Since the slopes of the mountain are covered with mixed and coniferous forests, the bright colors with which autumn paints the leaves of trees and other plants are truly amazing and picturesque.

Another great shot of lightning during a thunderstorm. Photographers often go out on purpose to hunt for lightning flashes in such bad weather, and Tim Samaras, one of the most famous and experienced lightning hunters, is in the forefront. When a thunderstorm approaches, Tim is already fully armed, and in his trailer is Kahuna, the world's fastest high-resolution camera.

The Cortes Bank, off the coast of California, is rich in a variety of underwater flora and fauna. Here you can admire how the North American freshwater croaker, the thin and slender greenback, aka wrasse fish, and other species of fish, scurry briskly between the toes of kelp and coral stalks.

Cobalt blue skies, blue shadows in the trees, pearlescent frost - evidence that the photo was taken far, far north. Namely, in Alaska, at the North Pole.

The Kali Gandaki River is one of the largest rivers in Nepal. It originates in the Upper Mustang mountains, flows through the Lower, and later flows into the Ganges in India. Kali Gandaki can be translated as "Black River", and the river owes this name to glacial sand and silt, which give its waters a dark shade. Kali Gandaki flows between two eight-thousanders - Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, which makes it possible to conventionally consider the Kali-Gandak gorge the deepest in the world.

The Alejandro de Humboldt National Park in Cuba is a unique area not only on the scale of the Caribbean, but among all the tropical islands. In addition to the varied relief and landscape, the flora and fauna of this park are also recognized as unique. It was there that the photographer captured a tiny lizard on a pineapple leaf.

September 30th

Lake Macross is one of three lakes in Killarney in southwestern Ireland in County Kerry. Part of the famous Killarney National Park. Like the other two lakes, it is of glacial origin, and the relict yew grove and Macross Abbey, which create a unique landscape in the vicinity of the lake, make it one of the most fascinating places for walking and photographing.
