Burning oil platform

'Reef Draining'. It was shot from a small boat in the very narrow channel during one of the ASP world professional surfing contests and I was lucky to have the right lens on my camera at the right time. As this wave came into break it was almost as though Mother Nature had pulled the plug and the surrounding water seemed to be disappearing into the trough of the wave. I was able to squeeze off six frames as the wave formed and broke. This image has been described as the 'defining image ' of Teahupoo and came second behind the famous Michael Peterson cutback at Kirra in the a Tracks Magazine reader poll for the Most Influential Surfing Photo of all time.

The photograph you see above isn’t the result of Photoshop or infrared photography. Captured by Spanish photographer Palíndromo Mészáros, it shows what the landscape of Ajka, Hungary looked like half a year after the Ajka alumina plant accident — an industrial disaster in which 35 million cubic feet of toxic waste flooded the land to a height of around 6.5 feet. Mészáros lined up the thick red line caused by the sludge with the horizon line to obtain this surreal image.

A wall climber's dream, this is the Great Arch in southwestern China's Getu Valley. One of the hardest sport-climbing places in the world. The Great Arch is 164 feet high, 230 feet across, and 449 feet long. Really vertigo-inducing but the scenery is incredibly amazing.

A leopard attacks a forest warden after escaping from the Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, in West Bengal, India. The animal had been inadequately tranquilized during an operation to capture it and return it to the reserve, after it had threatened inhabitants of the village of Limbu. The warden survived the attack, but the leopard was killed during attempts to subdue it.
