Nature Photo Challenge

At the moment on Facebook the Nature Photo Challenge is currently doing the rounds. I've received several invites to participate but as I'm loathe to participate in chains I put seven of my favourite nature photographs all in one post, chosen simply because they represent a diversity of landscapes that I've had the chance to see around the world. Here they are, in no particular order:

the wide open steppes of Mongolia

Banzai Cliff, Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, because
sometimes tranquil places can hide terrible human suffering

Kalahari desert, Namibia

Tibet, its mountains seen from the world's highest railway line

view from Mount Kinabalu, Borneo

Lake Baikal in Siberia, where we went diving

diving at St Leu, because 70% of our planet is sea
