• When the World learned in late July about the death of Cecil the Lion, a beloved resident of a national park in Zimbabwe, outrage came swiftly. But while Cecil’s death has put a new focus on illegal poaching, other hunters are pursuing their own trophies—and it’s perfectly legal. That’s because of another, less publicized side of big-game trophy hunting: the sanctioned stalking of animals that are bred, grown and kept in captivity specifically so that the right to kill them can be sold to wealthy sportsmen. In this photograph by David Chancellor—kiosk (follow his work on Instagram @chancellordavid), caged lions roam at a farm in Eastern Cape, South Africa.

• Photo by @petekmuller/@prime_collective. A view of a dormant volcanic crater taken from the summit of Mount #Nyiragongo in the eastern Democratic Republic of #Congo. While Nyiragongo and another nearby mountain, Nyamuragira, are the only active volcanic sites, this area of eastern #DRC is laden with evidence of current, former and subterranean activity. In nearby Lake #Kivu, swimmers are advised to be cautious about clouds of gas, usually methane and carbon dioxide, that are a product of ongoing volcanic activity in the area. Congo is an incredible place on so many levels. #DRC #RDC #Africa #volcano #adventure #hiking #climbing #outdoors #virunga #virunganationalpark #mountain #instadaily #picoftheday #photooftheday by natgeo http://ift.tt/1Ka91KJ

• Architectural historian Gregory Smith (@clive78757) is obsessed with American roadside relics. Family road trips to destinations like the Atlantic City, New Jersey region — home to numerous miniature golf courses and Lucy, the six-story building shaped like an elephant — initially sparked Gregory’s affections, and he began photographing his favorite landmarks in college. He aims for a light touch in processing, yet admits, “I’m prone to saturate color and dramatize the sky, perhaps inspired by the old postcards I’ve loved since I was kid.” But it’s not just about image for Gregory, who helps get Texan landmarks listed in the National Register of Historic Places. His goal is to document and promote the preservation of commercial landmarks. “They represent the spirit of small business, exemplify creativity in design and construction, and help us better recognize and understand patterns in the ever changing American landscape.” Photo by @clive78757 by instagram http://ift.tt/1HxBCHX

• Photograph by George Steinmetz @geosteinmetz / @thephotosociety “Reflecting Absence” is the centerpiece of the 9/11 Memorial and has made the voids left by the destruction the primary symbols of our loss. How starkly this message is communicated depends on the time of year: when the plaza’s groves of sweet gum and swamp white oaks are in leaf, a sense of life flickers across the space.

• photo by @joelsartore | This green broadbill from the private collection of Cornel Roels in France was not only amazing looking, but was a perfect subject for a portrait session because he sat completely still during our entire photo shoot. The reason is simple to understand; in the wilds of southeast Asia, they are so well camouflaged that remaining motionless in the jungle is the perfect way for them to avoid detection by predators. Please follow me at @joelsartore for more photos. #joelsartore #beautiful #photooftheday #france #bird #photoark by natgeo http://ift.tt/1MSYsBZ

The pup went right back to sleep and I went back to photographing Emperor Penguins. We are working on an interesting story in #Alaska this week so please feel free to #follow me on @paulnicklen to see more. #cute #wildlife #nature #beauty #love #picoftheday #seal #natgeocreative #thephotosociety @sea_legacy by natgeo http://ift.tt/1ITVcUd

• Surfing on the River Eisbach in Munich, Germany taken by @simoncroberts (Simon Roberts). Munich’s Englischer Garten – English Garden – is home to one of the largest urban surfing spots in the world and a mecca for fans of the sport. Surfers ride the artificial waves all year round, which are created by torrents of freezing water being pumped over a stone step. The water flows at about 20 tons per second. #urbansurfing #riversurfing #munich by natgeo http://ift.tt/1W6rO2E
