Infinity Pool, Singapore

The vertiginous "infinity pool" at the Marina Bay Sands resort offers a sweeping view of Singapore, a country that's achieved success while building up instead of out.

Street Scene, Ontario

I saw this scene through the glass in my car. I noticed that a couple was walking toward the scene. I waited for them to get into the frame and clicked the shutter. Shooting through the glass gives the image a real wet feeling.

Floating Lanterns, Thailand
Photograph by Patrice Carlton, My Shot
I had planned a recent trip to Thailand in November to coincide with the Loy Krathong celebration because I had seen pictures of the floating lanterns being launched into the sky. However, nothing I had seen prepared me for the incredible magic of experiencing thousands of these lanterns floating into the night sky at once while monks chanted at the Lanna Meditation Center in Chiang Mai. It was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had.

One of the highlights of the interior of Iceland: a hot-water pond, charged with silica, glowing in the middle of nowhere.

Morning Ride, Netherlands

A photo shot in the Netherlands, in a small town called Boskoop. September mornings usually look great, because on many mornings beautiful mist appears. The kid on the bike was on his way to school and had no idea what kind of beautiful display of light took place right behind him.

Church of Rodel, Outer Hebrides
Photograph by Jim Richardson, National Geographic
The 15th-century church of Rodel on the Isle of Lewis, built for the warlike chiefs of the MacLeods, towers over the sea lochs of Scotland's Outer Hebrides. Nothing in early modern Britain, from its cities to its remotest corners, was more political than religion. The church in every parish—nearly always the most imposing building—was as much a symbol of worldly control as a shrine to God.

Submerged Plane, Bahamas
Photograph by Bjorn Moerman, Your Shot
While island hopping around the Bahamas in a Cessna C172 aircraft, I made this aerial of a Curtiss C-46 that ditched on November 15, 1980. It crashed while it was on a drug smuggling mission for the Colombian Medellín drug cartel and lies in shallow water east of the Norman's Cay airport in the Exumas, Bahamas. My preflight Internet research paid off!

Westminster Abbey, London
Photograph by Jim Richardson, National Geographic
For a thousand years, music and ceremony have celebrated the Christian Gospel in Westminster Abbey in London. As the place where generations of English kings and queens have been married, crowned, and buried, this great medieval building embodied King James's cherished fusion of glory and regal authority—a visual and aural richness of which the new Bible was to be an integral part.

Elephants, Uganda
Photograph by Joel Sartore, National Geographic
Elephants have miles of unbroken savanna to roam inside Uganda's Queen Elizabeth Park, where their numbers total 2,500, a dramatic rise after heavy poaching in the 1980s. Outside the preserve villagers kill elephants that trample and eat crops, though attacks have diminished with the digging of trenches to protect fields from wild trespassers.

On a moonlit night, herders bring the reindeer into temporary tarp-enclosed corrals called gárdi to separate the pregnant females from the rest.
