    The picture shows El ChaltZn taken by Francisco Javier Negroni Rodriguez, aged 45, in Argentina. He said: 'An hour before taking this photograph I was walking along the trails that surround the beautiful rock formation known as El ChaltZn in Argentina, the day was very cloudy, apparently luck was not with me on this adventure. The climate in Patagonia is somewhat unpredictable, it changes every moment and the wind is so strong that it quickly moves the clouds. Only at times could the figure of the massif be distinguished. My hope was focused on getting to a place from where I could wait very patiently for the weather to help me and give me a window of good weather at sunset to be able to take some photos, but nature surprised me. It was incredible! Only for a moment the clouds allowed me to see El ChaltZn and to my surprise there was a spectacular and brilliant lenticular cloud with a beautiful and perfect figure that I had never seen. The 26 finalists for this year's Weather Photographer of the Year have been announced and the public are being invited to vote for their favourite.The Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS), which celebrates its 170th birthday this year, in association with AccuWeather, has put the shortlisted pictures on their website and people can visit photocrowd.com/wpotyvote to vote until September 2.

    Life in Tokyo, Japan
    *Full story: https://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/t8mw
    When you think of Tokyo what probably comes to mind is a modern metropolis of millions of people - from cosplayers to robots, busy crossings to technological luxuries. Meanwhile, the tradition of 'saving' and 'giving' face means that the view of Japan that many foreigners see is somewhat sanitised and homogenised. The desire to avoid causing loss of face for oneself, one?s organization, or for others means less than sanitary can be swept under the carpet. Meanwhile, honored guests and high-ranking people are given VIP treatment in order to 'give face'. In reality Tokyo is a beautiful melting pot of a capital city that is as diverse as anywhere in the world - encompassing both the good and the bad. One person aware of this is photographer Lee Chapman who has lived in Tokyo since the end of the nineties. Initially meaning to stay just a year or two, it quickly hit him that this wouldn't be anywhere near long enough to get a real grasp of the place.

    A photographer has captured a series of stunning photos of the Peruvian landscape.

    Photographer Brian Flaherty created the Notes from Peru photo series to document his journey across the southern Peruvian landscape, from the rugged extremes of the Andes to the vast expanse of desert at the Pacific.

    Brian, who is from San Francisco, said: "Throughout the journey I was struck by both the deep history and character of the land and the inhabitants who weather its elements with grace, fortitude and a posture of humility.

    "This series of photos provides a small glimpse of the strength of this land and its people."

    *Full story: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/pye2
    Anyone who has been to Alaska will testify to its untamed beauty. Photographer Tim Plowden's visit to the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska and its annual salmon migration struck him with "revelatory awe". He comments: "Witnessing thousands of Pacific pink salmon was a spell-binding spectacle of sight, smell and sound. Their story enthralled me - a final selfless journey". According to Tim his first sighting of the salmon migration was shared with a bearded old man. Possibly intrigued by his fascination, as Tim watched the aquatic scene unfold before him the old man shared insights from his long years as a local fishing guide into the salmon's odyssey. Tim says: "It only intrigued me further and sealed my resolution to pay tribute to this remarkable fish on its last journey back to its natal rivers. Their final resting place".

    We Can See You! Falcon Preys For A Female

    A small bird of prey was pictured peeking out from under a hollow roof tile while waiting for a female to mate with.

    The red-blooded Lesser Kestrel had secured a nesting place for himself and a partner by chasing off intruders.

    The series of images shows the male protecting his nest while attracting a female admirer.

    Wildlife photographer Roy Mangersnes snapped a colony of kestrels in northern Spain.

    He said: "The male kestrels would fight over available nesting holes and then wait for the females to check out their options before they would select their mate of the year.

    "There were 20 pairs of birds nesting on a barn roof in Lleida, mostly under hollow tiles."

    The Lesser Kestrel is a migrant and comes directly from Africa to start breeding.

    An armless mother monkey was forced to look on as another female smothered her child with affection.

    But the wriggling vervet youngster wasn't happy with the overbearing auntie and did its best to break free.

    Photographer Roy Mangersnes captured the scene in Chobe National Park, Botswana.

    He explains: "What happened was the other female came over to check out the baby - even though she had her own clinging to her chest.

    "She was smelling it and forcefully hugging it against its will. It was trying to break free to get back to its mother but the female grabbed hold of its tail so it couldn't escape.

    "The poor mother only had one arm and was passive through the whole thing. She did not seem that upset and seemed happy to wait for her baby to be released."

    Night Heron Snatches Duckling For Dinner
    These shocking images show nature at its worst.

    A night heron is pictured taking off with a duckling that has swum too far away from its mother.

    As the heron flies off with his dinner, eye contact is made between the mother duck and her duckling who is struggling to get away.

    Wildlife photographer Michael Yang was taking his wife out to spot some cute wildlife at Radio Road in California to cheer her up after being ill for a few days.

    He said: "We were hoping to find some baby avocets, stilts, or ducklings and were both really happy to see several families of ducklings following their mothers around the pond.

    "As we were watching the ducklings a night heron flew in, which are not uncommon in the area but what we did not expect to see was the night heron land near a duckling that had wandered a little too far from its mother and snatch it from the water."

    The duckling tried to dive under water to escape the night heron; unfortunately it didn't get deep enough and the heron pulled it out of the water, grabbing the duckling by a foot.

    It took off with its dinner all the while the duckling was being flung about like a rag doll in the heron's beak.

    Michael said: "At some point in all this my wife had turned away and started sobbing. It didn't help that, through all this, I was taking pictures of the "event" and not comforting her instead."

    The popular birding location in Northern California is home to a variety of birds including shorebirds, herons, egrets, terns, and ducks. It is a series of wastewater treatment ponds on the street: Radio R...
