 some of the most amazing wildlife photography … all in black and white, by photographer nick brandt

sometimes you find amazing photos on the internet. most are just from regular people who have a gift for finding the right angles and the best shots. i saw this shot a while ago, but i was reminded of it again recently. it’s a great photo taken by a guy called scott stulberg. you can see the rest of his gallery at http://asa100.com

i’m not sure where exactly this is (the source didn’t reveal the location or author) but i’m sure it’s somewhere in the far north or far south … where the sun doesn’t set. this is a 12 hour time lapse photograph of the sun moving across the horizon. it’s pretty damn impressive.

this is pretty amazing … orcas in the arctic making a highway through the ice. one after the other they race down this narrow passage hoping to make it before the water freezes over. without the passage, orcas wouldn’t survive the trip, since they need regular access to fresh air along their journey.
