Lake of ice

Santa Croce Lake is a natural lake located in the province of Belluno, Italy. In winter 2019 Cristiano noticed the water was unusually high and the willow plants were partially submerged, creating a play of light and reflections. Waiting for colder conditions he captured the scene in icy stillness. After taking the image, he was reminded of a dear friend, who had loved this place and is now no longer here, “I want to think he made me feel this feeling that I’ll never forget. For this reason, this photograph is dedicated to him”.

Grundarfjörður, Iceland 🇮🇸! A photographer captures the northern lights near Kirkjufell, a 463-metre-high mountain known as the Witch’s Hat in the north of the Snæfellsnes peninsula. The mountain was one of the filming locations for Game of Thrones.

California, USA 🇺🇸! A man fishes at North Lake in Irvine. Dense fog covered much of Orange County.

West Dover, Canada 🇨🇦! Boats loaded with traps head out in a snow squall as the lobster fishing season starts, representing a $500m industry.

Dancing in the snow by Qiang Guo, China 🇨🇳! In the Lishan nature reserve in Shanxi province, China, Qiang watched as two male golden pheasants continuously swapped places on this trunk – their movements akin to a silent dance in the snow. The birds are native to China, where they inhabit dense forests in mountainous regions. Although brightly coloured, they are shy and difficult to spot, spending most of their time foraging for food on the dark forest floor, only flying to evade predators or to roost in high trees during the night.

Barracudas by Yung Sen Wu, Taiwan, China 🇨🇳! Yung had been swimming with the schooling barracudas at Blue Corner, Palau, in the western Pacific for four days, but their formation constantly changed shape and he could not find the perfect angle. On the fifth day his luck changed when the fish seemed to accept him into the group. Surrounded by the barracudas, he started to imagine how one fish sees another while swimming, and this was the picture he wanted. The fish were fast, and he had to swim hard to keep his place in the school. At the end of an exhausting 50 minutes, he got his perfect ‘fish eye’ view.

Breath of an Arctic fox by Marco Gaiotti, Italy 🇮🇹! Marco was watching this little Arctic fox as it incessantly called another nearby. Gradually he noticed the fox’s wet breath was quickly freezing in the air after each call. It was late winter in Spitsbergen, Svalbard, and the air was -35C (-31F). Photographing Arctic foxes is often frustrating, as they are normally running around fast in search of food, but this one was very relaxed and let Marco get close enough to focus on it, with the light glowing perfectly in the background.

Hope in a burned plantation by Jo-Anne McArthur, Canada 🇨🇦! Jo-Anne flew to Australia in early 2020 to document stories of animals affected by the devastating bushfires in New South Wales and Victoria. Working alongside Animals Australia she was given access to burn sites, rescues and veterinary missions. This eastern grey kangaroo and her joey, pictured near Mallacoota, Victoria, were among the lucky ones. The kangaroo barely took her eyes off Jo-Anne as she walked to the spot where she could get a great photo. She had just enough time to press the shutter release before the kangaroo hopped away.

Lake of ice by Cristiano Vendramin, Italy 🇮🇹! Santa Croce Lake is a natural lake located in the province of Belluno, Italy. In winter 2019, Cristiano noticed the water was unusually high and the willow trees were partially submerged, creating a play of light and reflections.

The jump by Karl Samitsch, Austria 🇦🇹! While visiting the Cairngorms, Scotland, a friend took Karl to a forest where red squirrels were used to being fed. They placed hazelnuts on opposite branches of two trees and Karl positioned his camera on a tripod facing the direction a squirrel might jump. Setting his camera to automatic focus, he waited behind a tree, holding a remote control. After less than an hour, two squirrels appeared. As they leapt between the branches, he used the high-speed burst mode on his camera, and of the 150 frames, four were sharp, and this one perfectly captured the moment.

Bonds of love by Peter Delaney, Ireland/South Africa 🇿🇦! Peter was photographing the herd in Addo elephant reserve, South Africa, when the newborn let out a shriek. A bull elephant had been trying to separate the calf from its mother. The herd reacted instantly – blowing loud calls, flapping ears, then surrounding the young and reaching out their trunks for reassurance. Elephants create bonds that last a lifetime, and they can show emotions from love to anger. Peter says: ‘There is something magical and beautiful when you observe elephants – it touches your soul and pulls at your heartstrings’.
