Blowing in the wind
JOHN BURCHAM
A tumbleweed flies through the air at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats. Although we think of tumbleweeds as standard fixtures in any Western, the plants are not native to the United States—they originated in the Eurasian steppes. Here are more breathtaking landscapes that will fill you with wonder.
Lighting up the sky
NANUT BOVORN
Lanterns soar up into the sky—and they're also reflected below—as part of the Loy Krathong festival, which usually takes place at the end of the rainy season, in Thailand. The lanterns are released to protect against bad luck.
Blowing off a bit of steam
GEORGE STEINMETZ
A massive ice tower—just compare its size to the human standing to its right—releases gas and smoke from Antarctica's Mount Erebus, which is a volcano. Check out these stunning photos of landmarks covered in snow.
We could all use a boost
CESARE NALDI
Rajan, an Asian elephant, lifts Nazroo, his mahout or handler, in the ocean off the Andaman Islands. Rajan was once used to move logs, but like many retirees, he now enjoys frolicking in the water.
A walk through the clouds
JOHN BURCHAM
At nearly 4,000 feet high, the glass-bottomed skywalk at Grand Canyon at the canyon's far western edge offers out-of-this-world views.
What a big baby!
CYRIL RUOSO
A pygmy hippo keeps her calf close in West Africa. An adult pygmy hippo weighs approximately between 350 and 600 pounds, not petite but still 10 times smaller than a regular-sized hippo.
Beautiful and only 145 years old
PETER LOURENCO
Purple-pink flowers flow down from Japan's oldest wisteria tree, which dates back to 1870 and is located in Ashikaga Flower Park in Tochigi. At its advanced age, it needs extra assistance so beams help support its many weighty branches. Here are more amazing nature photos that look too perfect to be real.
