My daughter-in-law took this photograph of my son holding my grandson & I've been taking and looking at photos for over 40 years now - and it's one of my all time favorite photos - so I submitted it (with her permission...she's too humble to do it herself)... I have to admit that she and my son are both better photographers than I am (which makes me happy)...we all wonder about the little guy's potential for photographic talent - although we all also (sometimes) secretly hope he becomes a lawyer (starving artist isn't as fun as it sounds).

Mt Rainier is in the Pacific Northwest where rainy and gloomy weather happen often. I took this picture on the night before my hike to Camp Muir(Mt Rainier's base camp). The weather was not good as it was very cloudy and foggy. I waited until 2am for the sky to clear up. The night was cold despite being in the middle of summer. Mt Rainier is already majestic by itself and it is truly a sight to behold. Photo taken by Zi Xian Leong (États-Unis) - Nature

This pic is special to me because it was the beginning of a journey. It was on a boat on my way to Naxos, a Greek island. I think it relates to the theme of travel because it has the dark blue like the sea and the sky,the yellow like the sun and the moon the red of the desire to explore. This are always great companions when you travel.You can always relate. Photo taken by ALEXANDRA KRASSA (Grèce) - Travel/Vacation
