The Glanzlichter photography contest


The Daily Mail alerted me to this photography contest, which although it is not billed as a nature photography contest, is in fact a nature photography contest with many different entry categories.


A family of orangutans, brawling bears and a meteor in the sand: Mother nature is captured in all its glory in top global photography contest

One thing about that headline before we proceed:  the "meteor in the sand" is not a meteor at all (if it was in fact in the sand, it would be a meteorite), but it is a rock in the sand photographed with a colorful aura of flowing water around it, so it looks like a meteor.   Glad I could clear that up.

After you've read the article, if you did, you can go to the Glanzlichter site itself and examine the contest winners in their various categories, which are listed on the left side.

They discourage downloading of the pictures (there are ways, of course), so I grabbed some of the small versions of shots I like it.  To see them larger, visit the site.
