  • The golden light of sunset colors the walls of Mont Saint-Michel, a former monastery on a tidal island in Normandy, France. Mont Saint-Michel was known as Mont-Tombe until the 8th century when St. Aubert built a church there after having a vision of the archangel St. Michael. It soon became a pilgrimage center and a Benedictine abbey was built there in 966. After it was partially burned in 1203 during a takeover attempt by King Philip II of France, a monastery, known as La Merveille (“The Wonder”), was built and later fortified. The Mont Saint-Michel monastery was dissolved during the French Revolution (1787–99) and became a prison under Napoleon’s reign before the site was restored as a historic monument in 1874. Mont Saint-Michel was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979. Mont Saint-Michel lies at the mouth of the Couesnon River, which is visible at on the left side of the image. Mont Saint-Michel is cut off from the mainland by sea water during very high tides.

Crows are found throughout the world with the exception of South America, New Zealand and Antarctica.

  • Mount Baker, a 10,781 foot (3,286 meter) volcano located in Whatcom County, Washington state, takes on a pastel appearance through morning fog near Artist Point in the North Cascades. Mount Baker, which is part of the Cascade Range of mountains, has the second-most thermally active crater in the range, second only to Mount St. Helens. Baker's volcanic cone is relatively young, possibly less than 100,000 years old, even though the area where it sits has been volcanically active for 1.5 million years.

  • Viewed from the summit, the shadow of Maui's Mount Haleakala appears triangular, even though the mountain has a flat top. This physics of light phenomenon is true for every mountain and is the result of your perspective. It's the same reason train tracks appear to converge.

  • Thousands of icicles, including some that stretch from floor to ceiling, form in the Guler Ice Cave near Mount Adams, Washington. The cave is a partially collapsed lava tube formed during an eruption of Mount Adams during the past 20,000 years. One end of the cave is lower than the other and scientists think that traps cold air, which keeps the cave icy even during the summer. The Guler Ice Cave is located near the community of Trout Lake.

  • The dramatic Burney Falls plunge 129 feet (39 meters) at McArthur-Burney State Park in northern California. The waterfall is fed by underground springs at and above the falls and flows at an almost constant rate of 100 million US gallons per day (4 m³/s), even during the dry summer months.

  • Courthouse Butte stands tall over a small meadow in the Coconino National Forest near Oak Creek, Arizona. Courthouse Butte stands 5,454 feet (1,662 meters) tall and is part of the Red Rock Country area of Sedona.

  • The full moon shines between layers of storm clouds that are developing over Mount Adams, a volcano in Washington state. Mount Adams, at 12,280 feet (3,743 meters), is the second-tallest mountain in Washington and is still considered potentially active even though it last erupted in 550 BC.

  • A coyote (Canis latrans) scares off a flock of ducks while trying to catch one along Boundary Bay in southern British Columbia, Canada. Coyotes most often feed on small mammals, but they will eat birds, snakes and even fruit and vegetables when their usual food source is scarce.

  • Brown pelicans dive off Natural Bridge near Santa Cruz, California at sunset. There used to be three arches, but the second one collapsed in the early 1980s. The first collapsed even earlier. Arches or bridges form when waves continually pound a weak spot in the rock, wearing a hole through it. Over time, continued erosion enlarges the hole so much that the overlying rock can no longer be supported and it collapses. A bridge is a span that connects to the mainland; an arch stands by itself.

  • The full range of fall colors—red, yellow, gold, violet and even green—are visible in the leaves of these intertwined trees along the Bellevue Botanical Garden in Bellevue, Washington.

  • Mount Baker, a 10,781 foot (3,286 meter) volcano located in Whatcom County, Washington state, towers above the trees and morning fog near Artist Point in the North Cascades. Mount Baker, which is part of the Cascade Range of mountains, has the second-most thermally active crater in the range, second only to Mount St. Helens. Baker's volcanic cone is relatively young, possibly less than 100,000 years old, even though the area where it sits has been volcanically active for 1.5 million years.

  • Burney Falls in northern California emerges from the rocks. The waterfall is fed by underground springs at and above the falls; cracks in the rock allow the water to emerge at various points of the falls. Since it is fed by springs, Burney Falls flows at an almost constant rate of 100 million US gallons per day (4 m³/s), even during the dry summer months.

  • A young red fox (Vulpes vulpes) kit walks in the colorful prairie of the San Juan Island National Historical Park on San Juan Island, Washington. All of the foxes in the park are technically red foxes, even if they are black, silver or tan. Red foxes were introduced to San Juan Island on various occasions in the 1900s.

  • A red fox (Vulpes vulpes) kit runs across the prairie at San Juan Island National Historical Park on San Juan Island, Washington, as one of its siblings prepares to pounce. Red foxes were introduced to the island on various occasions in the 1900s. All of the foxes on the island are red foxes, even though they may appear black, silver or tan.

  • A red fox (Vulpes vulpes) emerges from a rabbit's den with a mouth full of newborn rabbits in San Juan Island National Historical Park on San Juan Island, Washington. Neither foxes nor rabbits are native to San Juan Island. European rabbits were introduced in the 1890s; foxes were introduced on various occasions in the 1900s to try to reduce the rabbit population. All of the island's foxes are red foxes, even though they may not actually have red fur.

  • The moon glows behind a coconut palm tree (Cocos nucifera) as thousands of stars shine above Makena Beach on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Several major stars are visible in this image, including Pleiades, a tight cluster of blue stars that is visible just left of the largest palm tree on the right side of the image, and Aldebaran, a bright orange star near the top-center of the frame. Pleiades is also known as the Seven Sisters even though the cluster contains more than 1,000 stars; the nine brightest stars are named for the Seven Sisters of Greek mythology and their parents. The star cluster is one of the closest to Earth and it formed within the last 100 million years. Both Aldebaran and Pleiades are located in the constellation Taurus.
