Big Sur is one of the most dramatic landscapes in the world. Here, coastal mountains drop precipitously into the Pacific Ocean. Secluded beaches, valleys, mountains, and tall California Redwoods standing among countless streams to complete the scene.
If you are lucky, you may spot whales, seals, condors, or even a mountain lion.
Photographed from Gamboa Point, near the Big Creek Bridge. For more of Big Sur and the California Coast, see the North America Gallery

Tunis, Palermo, Cartegna, Annaba. Each city is in a different country, yet the similarities are striking.
In the Mediterranean, empires sometimes clashed, but more often, they exchanged food, art, architecture, science, and even religions. The result is a region rich in history and blended cultures.
Right, the Alcazaba of Malaga, Spain. For more, see the Europe and North Africa Galleries.

Rhinos have been poached relentlessly. Some cultures believe the rhino horn possesses medicinal properties, none of which has been proven clinically. If a mother is killed for her horn, the orphaned rhino is left to die. Rhinos are endangered as a consequence. Anti-poaching techniques have greatly improved.
Photographed in the Karongwe Private Reserve, near Kruger National Park.
See East and South Africa Gallery for more wildlife photography.
