[h=2]Mountain Biker, South Africa [/h] Photograph by Guy Anderson, Your Shot This Month in Photo of the Day: Adventure and Exploration Photos The town of Hilton in South Africa is known for its misty weather, which came out in full force for an annual mountain bike classic. The unusually wet winter's day challenged competitors with muddy tracks, low visibility, and an icy wind. I battled to just keep my camera dry, and after failing to obtain sharp images through the haze, I took a step back and framed this shot, which captures the adventurous rider tackling the harsh environment.
[h=2]Claustral Canyon, Australia [/h] Photograph by Carsten Peter, National Geographic This Month in Photo of the Day: Adventure and Exploration Photos Veteran guide John Robens (at far left) leads a soggy team through a moss-covered passage in Claustral Canyon, a few hours' hike from their exit point. Canyoneering is all about the serendipity of discovery, he says. "You walk for miles and suddenly you find yourself in this magical spot."
[h=2]Buick, Cuba [/h] Photograph by James Kao This Month in Photo of the Day: Traveler Contest Images The National Highway in Cuba has many stretches where you will not see another car for miles. Then when you do see one, it is an old classic like this 1950s Buick, which looks at home on the open road with the Cuban landscape of fields and mountains in the distance.
[h=2]Petra, Jordan [/h] Photograph by Bhaven Jani This Month in Photo of the Day: Traveler Contest Images Petra, the magical ancient land in Jordan, turns almost mystical by night. Candle lamps guide visitors down the mile-long Siq, and when you reach Al Khazneh, it is overwhelming to see this sight. People are gathered around these candles spread out in front of the Treasury while musicians play soulful music.
[h=2]Rio de Janeiro, Brazil [/h] Photograph by Ignazio Sciacca This Month in Photo of the Day: Traveler Contest Images After spending two months in the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro with carioca people, samba, and lots of caipirinhas, finally there was a perfect day to go up to Sugarloaf Mountain and take this picture.

[h=2]Svartifoss, Iceland [/h] Photograph by Giacomo Ciangottini This Month in Photo of the Day: Traveler Contest Images Svartifoss (Black Fall) is surrounded by the dark lava columns that gave rise to its name. The hexagonal columns were formed inside a lava flow that cooled extremely slowly, giving rise to crystallization. Skaftafell National Park, Iceland.
[h=2]Portrait, Brazil[/h] Photograph by Geralyn Shukwit This Month in Photo of the Day: Traveler Contest Images Christiane, a child of the "roofless" movement in Salvador, Brazil. A beautiful spirit living a life not hers by choice, but she brings love and light to all around her.
[h=2]Fire Performer, Thailand [/h] Photograph by Sean Hower This Month in Photo of the Day: Traveler Contest Images While working with a Discovery Channel group in Thailand, I saw this as part of the farewell dinner show. I wanted to get the shot, I got too close, and I and all my camera gear got coated in gasoline. Well worth it though!
[h=2]Penguins, Antarctica[/h] Photograph by Gaston Lacombe This Month in Photo of the Day: Traveler Contest Images At the Adélie penguin colony near Esperanza Base in Antarctica, the penguins color the snow with their feet as they shuttle between the sea and the colony.
[h=2]Taj Mahal, India [/h] Photograph by Colin Roohan This Month in Photo of the Day: Traveler Contest Images When light pours over the Taj Mahal everything else clears from your mind. The tour guides, the crowds, the construction statistics all become moot. When in the presence of something so divine, just be.
[h=2]Falling Petals, Japan [/h] Photograph by Hisao Mogi This Month in Photo of the Day: Traveler Contest Images I sat down on a stump for a rest after a stroll in Nara Park and watched the deer. They were eating fallen cherry blossom petals peacefully. Suddenly a strong wind blew and cherry blossom petals started to fall on the deer. It was like a shower of cherry blossom petals. In Japanese, it is called hana fubuki, which means flower snowstorm.
[h=2]Girl and Baobabs, Madagascar [/h] Photograph by Ken Thorne This Month in Photo of the Day: Traveler Contest Images Near the city of Morondava on the west coast of Madagascar lies an ancient forest of baobab trees. Unique to Madagascar, the endemic species is sacred to the Malagasy people, and rightly so. Walking amongst these giants is like nothing else on this planet. Some of the trees here are over a thousand years old. It is a spiritual place, almost magical.

[h=2]Rainstorm, Chile [/h] Photograph by Camila Massu This Month in Photo of the Day: Traveler Contest Images My sister in the south of Chile. We were sitting at home next to the fireplace in our southern lake house when it suddenly began to pour uncontrollably. Had to rush into the lake to take this snapshot!
[h=2]Khaju Bridge, Iran [/h] Photograph by Murat Bergi This Month in Photo of the Day: Traveler Contest Images This photo was taken in Esfahan, Iran, on Khaju Bridge. The look of the woman with attractive eyes toward her friend in front of the graphics of the bridge caught my attention.
[h=2]Playa Flamenco, Cuba [/h] Photograph by James Kao This Month in Photo of the Day: Traveler Contest Images The north coast of Cuba has some of the most spectacular beaches on hundreds of little islands called cayos. This dock is at Playa Flamenco on Cayo Coco, and the water is only a meter deep at its end and one can walk safely in the shallows for almost 200 meters further out. After taking a series of shots, I could not resist diving into the refreshing waters and feeling the sand beneath my feet!
