Shot of the Day: Lombok, Indonesia

This shot, taken by Nature Explorer has got me wide-eyed and frantically trying to plan a holiday to Lombok.

Nature Explorer says the image was shot at Kuta Beach at “a unique moment” when the sea water level was so low you could “see the seaweed, all coral and small fish in the bottom of the sea”. Apparently this happens on only 6 days per year.

Wow.

Shot of the Day: Doors in Marrakesh

Doesn’t this shot by solea20 make you want to pack your bags straight away and jump on the next plane to Morocco?

I’m dying to know what’s behind those doors. When I was on a train from Tangiers to Fez in 2001 a teacher told me that all doors in Morocco – whether they lead to a riad or a ruin – look the same. This is because Islamic culture frowns on the showing off of wealth.

So, in Marrakesh the most stunning palaces are hidden behind unassuming doors. I wonder what lies behind these.

Shot of the Day: Stormy Day at Pemequid

As there is yet another typhoon over Hong Kong at the moment we’re in a stormy, rainy mood. We liked this shot, taken by Mainephotonut, called “Stormy Day at Pemequid“

Where is Pemequid you might ask… Well, it’s here:

Shot of the Day: Scuba Tiger

You may have seen yesterday’s iloho newsletter, which featured the stunning Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan, India. The park is home to one of the largest populations of India’s wild tigers.

Today, we came across this photo of “Scuba Tiger” by digitalART2 on Flickr and thought it fit nicely with the tiger theme in the newsletter.

It’s a great shot, it’s just a shame the photographer doesn’t note where it was taken. If you’re reading this, please let us know!
