    The Merciful Tigers: Predators Let Young Vulture Get Away
    These stunning images show a young vulture looking like it is about to become a tiger's lunch - only to be allowed to escape.

    Wildlife photographer Santosh Saligram captured the amazing scene as three tigers looked set for an easy meal.

    He took these shots of a tigress and her two female juveniles in the wild at Bandhavgarh national park in central India.

    Santosh explains: "The resident tigress and two of her female cubs were cooling off in the water of the famous Rajbehra Dam area.

    "Suddenly, one of the tigresses noticed something on a rock at the corner and both the sisters went off to investigate.

    "They reappeared shortly, following a juvenile long-billed vulture which seemed to have lost its way from its nest and incapacitated in some way.

    "Threatened by the tigers, it tried to fly but only managed to flop down into the water. One of the tigresses then approached the vulture from the other side in a curious way.

    "The vulture opened its beak wide in defence, hoping to put the tiger off, which it successfully did.

    "Slowly, it started creeping towards the bank and after some time, climbed up the bank and disappeared into the bush. It was amazing, I have never seen anything like this happen in the wild."

    'London in Puddles' Photography Series by Gavin Hammond
    What better way to view London - than as a reflection in its puddles!

    An artist has taken the stereotypical idea that the capital is always wet and turned it into a stunning photographic art project.

    Gavin Hammond has captured the city's landmarks by training his camera lens on the pavement.

    The result is a quirky - and unsurprisingly watery - look at familiar sights.

    The London resident got the good idea following some bad luck.

    He explains: "I stumbled upon my first puddles image by accident. My bicycle had been stolen so I was walking into town along the Southbank for once rather than pedalling past it in a hurry.

    "It began to rain as I approached the London Eye and a large flock of tourists were blocking my way. I hate to be in a crowd so I stared at my feet as I waited for them to pass. And lo! a beautiful reflection of one of the gondolas emerged from a puddle, like a vision from another world, a view of a parallel universe.

    "Instantly, I was hooked. I am no longer rushing through London but appreciating every location I reach."

    Gavin has had ample opportunity to shoot subjects for the project thanks to a particularly damp Spring.

    "I have been taking these images for about two months - pretty much every day throughout this year's lovely wet spring," says Gavin. "So every morning, lunchtime and early evening I've been cycling all over London scouting out locations and lying, crouching, kneeling and standing upside down in the rain."

    But lurking low down on pavements and in roads doesn't come without its own risks.

    "I have been shouted at by white van drivers, swerved past by bus drivers, run down by bicycles, threatened by a drug dealer, moved on by a security...

    Annual Exhibition Showcasing New York Landmarks Made From Natural Materials
    New York Landmarks - Made From Twigs, Bark and Leaves
    An annual exhibition showcases replica New York landmarks all made from natural materials such as bark, twigs, stems, fruit, nuts and leaves.

    The Christmas Holiday Train Show exhibits more than 140 scaled iconic buildings including the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Radio City Music Hall and the original Yankee Stadium.

    Now in its 20th year the show also features more than a dozen large-scale model railway trains - from late 1800s American Steam engines and streetcars to modern freight and high-speed passenger trains.

    The trains past through the famous landmarks from a fungus-formed Guggenheim Museum to a towering Brooklyn Bridge.

    The exhibition is at the New York Botanical Garden running until mid January.

    Visitors also get an insider's look at how the replicas are constructed.

    Models in different stages of completion will show how a structure destined for the Holiday Train Show is framed and starts taking shape through the addition of plant parts.

    Show designer Paul Busse and his son, Brian and their team at Applied Imagination in Kentucky will also tell the story of how they create the Holiday Train Show.

    Riots rage across England
    August 9, 2011, London, United Kingdom: A wave of violence and looting raged across London, in the central city of Birmingham, the western city of Bristol and the northwestern city of Liverpool, as authorities struggled to contain the country's worst unrest since race riots set the capital ablaze in the 1980s. Some 450 arrests have been made. British Prime Minister David Cameron recalled Parliament from its summer recess and tripled the number of police on the streets of London to deal with the crisis touched off by three days of rioting. ///The remains of the Reeves Corner department store in Croydon..
