National Geographic is still the best place for nature (and I will also add, social/cultural) photography. There are many other good and great photographic sources, but NatGeo maintains a level of excellence like no other.

I will now provide a couple of examples. Don't forget that they have new desktop wallpapers every month.

The Brazil coastal dunes were in the July issue of National Geographic. Click on each for desktop-wallpaper sized original.

And as a bonus:

Best night picture of the Eyjafjallajokull eruption by far; the only other night/eruption/lightning picture that rivals this one was this one of Chaiten in Chile. But the one above is better.

And I recommend this, too:

Bahamas Caves

Those caves are very cool. I made many foolish cave dives in Florida’s panhandle many years ago. They are death traps, I was very lucky on one dive.

Same here, I loved their magazine but over 15 years
they became more and more, political, anti-American,
anti-capitalists, and even anti-science. Here is what
homosap’s looked like 100,000 years ago, blah, blah.
Conjecture palmed off as science. Feather dinosaurs
et.al. But their photographers are the best in world.

Lettuce hope we do not see similar photo’s of Iceland’s “next door” volcano. (It’s eruption is expected, but not hoped for.)
