The rich purple flowers of a Salvia plant in a cottage garden

Glass tile mosaic and gold leaf decorate temple pillars and walls

A Black Kite soars on thermals in a clear blue sky beneath the moon

Storm clouds gather along the coast as a winter storm rolls in

Waitemata Harbour

Marble domes of the Taj Mahal reflected on the surface of a pool

A termite mound rises above a floodplain during the dry season

Neat rows of weathered white-washed stones at the Thimphu Memorial Chorten

An antique wall lamp beneath a small vine-covered balcony garden

The Inca constructed agricultural terraces on the steep hillside

The wrinkled and leathery skin on an orphaned African Elephant calf hide

The long yellow stamens of a water lily flower in a wetland
