Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania, is the world's largest inactive volcanic caldera. It is a collapsed volcano that

harbours a range of African wildlife that live in relatively close proximity and competition of each other. Zebras

are amongst the most common animals in the crater along with wildebeest, gazelles, hyenas, and lions. On a

clear day, a 360º view of the crater rim can be seen whilst being inside.

This playful fight amongst two young sub adult Tigers was indeed a brilliant life time opportunity, that lasted exactly 4-5 seconds.

The cubs were sitting in the grass as dusk approached when suddenly one of them sneaked up behind the other and what

happened next is captured in this image. This playful fight amongst the siblings is what prepares them for their survival in the wild.

The sheer power of the Tiger is beautifully captured in this image and portrays the sheer muscle power that these magnificent cats

possess. May 5th, 2014, Bandhavgarh National Park, Madhya Pradesh, India.

The thermal spas in Budapest [are] one of the favorite activities of Hungarians, especially in

winter. We were fortunate to gain special access to shoot in the thermal spa thanks to our tour

guide, Gabor. I love the mist, caused by the great difference in temperature between the hot spa

water and the atmosphere. It makes the entire spa experience more surreal and mystical.

Birds fly over the destroyed houses in Khalidiya district in Homs, Syria. In the vast stillness of the

destroyed city center of Homs, there are large areas where nothing moves. Then, suddenly, wind

blows a ripped awning, or birds fly overhead.

I was up at an ungodly hour to make it to the Tsukiji Fish Market, in Tokyo. With so many

amazing things to see in the city, I had hardly slept, and managed to get off at the wrong station.

Wave after wave of people kept coming through the station passageway. I spied a coffee shop

with a vantage point and managed to snap a free shots, camera resting on the ledge. After the

caffeine kicked in, i was ready to brave the river of people...

In the last ten years, mobile data, smartphones and social networks have forever changed our

existence. Although this woman stood at the center of a jam-packed train, the warm glow from

her phone told the strangers around her that she wasn't really there. She managed to slip away

from "here" for a short moment; she's a node flickering on the social web, roaming the Earth,

free as a butterfly. Our existence is no longer stuck to the physical here; we're free to run away,

and run we will.

ridge overlooking the mountains. Though we argued consistently throughout the journey, here we

were reminded of our brotherhood.
