A SEAHORSE INSPECTS A DIVER’S WATCH

 

This amazing capture of a tiny seahorse checking out his own reflection in the glass of the watch is amazing. From the reflection on the glass we can see that the photo was taken close to the surface, which is normal because seahorses usually live in shallow tropical and temperate waters.

LIVING ON THE EDGE

The photo was taken was taken in Yosemite National Park, 1.444 meters above the valley floor. As crazy as it may seem to climb such outstanding heights, for Alex Honnold, the world’s number one free soloist, it is a way of life. If you don’t know what a soloist is, then let us explain.

DEATH BEGETS LIFE

 

There is something mesmerizing about this photograph. It is not only the beautiful lake and its reflection, or the soft colors of the little tree, there is also a deeper meaning to this picture.

STUNNING GREEN VINE SNAKE

This snake kind of looks like he is laughing. Anyway, this creature is amazing. It can be found in the tropical forests of India, Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand and Cambodia or Vietnam. This reptile has the ability to expand its body, and it gives birth to young that grow within its body. The author of the photograph said that the Green Vine Snake is one of the most beautiful snakes he has ever captured because of its bright colors and incredible posture.
