Collected below are 25 images from the three categories of People, Places and Nature. Captions given by photographers themselves.<img src="http://i46.tinypic.com/19ryg8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Nazroo, a mahout (elephant driver), poses for a portrait while taking his elephant, Rajan, out for a swim in front of Radha Nagar Beach in Havelock, Andaman Islands. Rajan is one of the few elephants in Havelock that can swim, so when he is not dragging timber in the forest he is used as a tourist attraction. The relationship between the mahout and his elephant usually lasts for their entire lives, creating an extremely strong tie between the animal and the human being.

A sign near Groom, Texas, announcing the "largest cross in the western hemisphere" explained the large crucifix I'd been wondering about for miles on the highway; it seemed like an OK place to wait out the storm. On my way to getting stuck in the mud and a giant double rainbow, I saw this silhouetted view of the cross, splitting the sunny sky from the stormy plains.
