Photo Of The Year! – Scranton Photographer

Throughout the years the photographers working at National Geographic have consistently brought us incredible images of faraway places and people, showing us amazing details of life around the globe. Every year Nat Geo has a photo contest, and this year the winners will be announced tomorrow, December 15. Here are a few of the finalist photos that stood out to me, and I must admit, I am irritated that I didn’t take any of them. Enjoy!

 

This last one is taken after the floooding in Pakistan in 2010. Millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising flood waters. Pretty much freaked me out too.

That first one is so incredible! I’d love to take one like that some day.

And that last one is beyond freaky. I stared at it for a few minutes before I read your caption telling myself those weren’t spider webs, just a net over the tree… I wish.
