Formula One Spectators, Lithuania

People watching a car-racing event from an abandoned building. Curiosity to see a Formula One race for the first time in Lithuania was bigger than the risk of standing on the edge of a building meant to be demolished. By now it is destroyed.

Mountain Goat, Colorado

This Month in Photo of the Day: Traveler Contest Images
On a weekend trip to Westcliffe, Colorado, we drove to the peak of a mountain, got off and hiked the rest of the way. After a few minutes of taking photos, I turned around to see an old, wise buck walking right up to us, stopping maybe ten feet from us. It seemed as though he was just happy to have some company. He watched me set up my tripod for some landscape shots and followed me around like a dog for a good half hour and even appeared to pose for me when I took photos of him. I shot this at 24mm on a full frame digital camera—that's how close he was. It was an experience of a lifetime.

While traveling on business I came across this magnificent winter scene. While similar in appearance to hoarfrost, this was a light dusting of new fallen snow.

Village, Faroe Islands

Photograph by Ken Bower
This Month in Photo of the Day: Traveler Contest Images
The village of Gásadalur with the island of Mykines in the background. Until a tunnel was built in 2004, the 16 residents living in Gásadalur had to take a strenuous hike or horseback ride over the steep 1,300-foot (400-meter) mountain in order to make it to the other villages. It was a rare sunny day in the Faroe Islands and I had to wait until the clouds rolled in to provide some softer light. I decided to go with a long exposure (1 minute and 10 seconds) to illustrate the force of the wind and a serene sea among the isolated islands.

Tai Chi, Shanghai

I was jet-lagged after a 16-hour flight from Chicago. Since I was awake anyway, I figured I'd walk along the Bund for some photo shooting. There is a lot of activity in the morning: people riding bikes, running, flying kites, etc. I got lucky—this man was doing tai chi as the sun rose among the skyscrapers. It made for a great photo opportunity.

During the Easter holy celebration called Misteri (mystery) in Trapani, the devotees carry the scenes of Christ’s passion on their shoulders all night long. When the day comes they take a break.

On photo safari in the Serengeti in February 2012, we caught sight of this baby among a herd of grazing elephants. It was cute how the young elephant would walk in and out of its mother's legs as she was walking along.

In Moorea, French Polynesia, the warm, turquoise-blue waters are often the place for some special encounters. Swimming among the sharks, the rays, and the varied variety of fish is quite easy. This shot was taken from a boat with a remote-controlled drone.
