Great pictures are a visual delight and these are in that category. I've included one of them below. They are from the 2013 National Geographic 25th annual Traveler Photo Contest,and appeared in
The Atlantic, where Alan Taylor wrote "National Geographic was
once more kind enough to allow me to share some of the early entries
with you here, gathered from four categories: Travel Portraits, Outdoor
Scenes, Sense of Place, and Spontaneous Moments.
Photos and captions by the photographers. "
Scroll down in the story and Enjoy!
A group of 12-14 hyenas were chasing a herd of 7-8 elephants. The
elephant herd included 2 adult females, a few teenagers, and a baby that
was a few days old (belonging to one of the adult females). The hyenas
were trying to get at the baby. In this picture, the mother is kicking
at the hyenas. (© Jayesh Mehta/National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest).
