Sunrise at Sydney Opera House

Sydney Opera House at Sunrise It was an early morning for this one in Sydney and I had to wait just until the sun peeked through the clouds. I’ve used a long shutter speed to get the smooth water in the foreground.

Ladyfinger Peak, Bublimotin is a distinct rock spire in the Batura Muztagh Pakistan

Ladyfinger Peak, Bublimotin, Bubli Motin or Bublimating is a distinct rock spire in the Batura Muztagh, the westernmost sub range of the Karakoram Range in Pakistan. It lies on the southwest ridge of the Ultar Sar massif, the most southeasterly of the main groups of the Batura Muztagh. The entire massif rises precipitously above the Hunza Valley to the southeast. Bublimotin, while having slight prominence above the saddle with close to Hunza Peak, is mostly notable for being a sharp, comparatively snowless rock spire among snow peaks. This combined with its height above the valley, makes it quite striking; hence the distinctive name. It provides an 1830 feet rock climb with a very serious alpine approach and has been the scene of some distinguished paragliding.

Remarkable Splashes Generates Colorful Liquid Creatures

It would be quite shocking to come across these huge creatures emerging from the surface of a lake. In reality, though, it wouldn't be thinkable considering Milwaukee-based photographer Jack Long captures the beautiful liquid formations at tremendously high speeds. With technical acuity Jack Long documents the erratic formations, entitled River Giants, as liquid splashes through the air in the blink of an eye. Jack says, even with complex construction and extensive testing, the results are still often shocking and serendipitous. As fluids disclose themselves through motion Jack Long knows the exact right moment to click the shutter and freeze those moments in time. The artist's exploration of forms materializing from liquids results in a remarkable array of odd and unforeseen bursts where no two shapes are the same.

Stork-billed Kingfisher

You see that extraordinarily large bill? This is the reasons it is called as "Stork-billed Kingfisher" (Pelargopsis capensis). This colorful and large bird is fairly common in southern India. This specific image was taken in Kerala, when the bird was staring at the water beneath for fish.
