      Greenlandic Winter by Weimin Chu - This is a photo of Upernavik, a tiny fishing village on a tiny island in Greenland. If you're wondering about the various colors of the houses, it harkens back to a tradition of painting buildings for their different uses, so you can see it even when there's snow all over.

      Streets of Dhaka by Sandipani Chattopadhyay - These people are praying on the streets of Dhaka, in Bangladesh.

      Horses by Jose Antonio Zamora - This photo was taken during the Spanish yearly celebration of the Feast of Saint Anthony, during the ceremony of the purification of animals, called Las Luminaries.

      King Of Alps by Jonas Schafer - This photo was taken in Switzerland, in an area called the Bernese Oberland. We see a herd of ibexes going over a ridge. No other animal is as adapted to living under these steep conditions, and that is why the photo is named as it is. The photographer adds that these ibexes frequently stopped and took in the view from these huge heights.
