You’ll find a wide variety of photos, many of them taken in South Africa, but also further afield, arranged in albums such as Scotland, Mexico, Uganda, Morocco, Cambodia, the Maldives, India, Tanzania, Vietnam, Thailand, the US and Russia, among many others.

You’ll also find loads of wildlife and animal pictures, including pictures of domestic dogs, lions, leopards, gorillas, birds and elephants.

Below is a selection of some of our popular pictures:

The beautiful blues of the Maldives Islands. The Maldives has the world’s lowest average elevation, at only 1.5m above sea level.

Two rowers pull together as they train at sunrise on the Bronkhorstspruit Dam in the Gauteng province of South Africa.

The Zambezi Gorge below the Victoria Falls, Zambia, taken from a helicopter.

A lilac-breasted roller plays with its breakfast, a grasshopper. These birds always swallow their prey head-first as it goes down easier that way.

The iconic St Basil’s Cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church stands in Red Square, Moscow. It was built between 1555 and 1561 on the orders of Ivan the Terrible.

The Grand Canyon in Arizona, United States, carved out by the Colorado River, which flows at its floor, is over 400km long, 1.6km deep in places and up to 19km wide.

Highland gorilla, Uganda. There are only about 1 000 of these beautiful animals left in the wild.

A leopard eats its prey, a baby zebra, in the Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa. Leopards are elusive and mostly nocturnal cats, so sightings in daylight such as this are special.

Angkor Wat is a massive Buddhist temple complex in northern Cambodia, originally built in the 12th century as a Hindu temple. Today, it is one of Cambodia’s top tourist attractions.
