The winner by a tail



The Daily Mail has the winners of this year's National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year contest, and the winning picture is of a whale tail.

See them here:
A whaly great shot! Striking close-up of a humpback calf's tail and stunning shot of Dubai are among the winners of the 2018 National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year contest

One of the prize winners is a drone shot by Enrico Pescantini of the big pyramid at Teotihuacan in Mexico, directly overhead. It's a great shot, and it also has the optical illusory effect of sometimes looking like a big hole in the ground rather than a structure rising up from the ground.  See below.  Full-size is quite amazing.  If you click on the image below you can see it bigger, of course.
