7. Port and lighthouse overnight storm with lightning in Port-la-Nouvelle, France.
How rare it is to see a storm of such frightening but fascinating vigor! You can see why this image was prized so highly by the judges of this contest.
8. Macaca fuscata juvenile yawning, Nagano, Japan
This Japanese macaque was brilliantly captured showing its tiredness, a really quite human moment.
9. Sunrise with Paraná pines, Serra da Bocaina National Park, Brazil.
This picture is proof that sunrise is the most beautiful part of the day, full of promise and splendor.
10. Rådhuset metro station, Stockholm
Some say that underground railway stations are hideously ugly places that everybody tries to spend as little time as possible. This, on the contrary, looks like the lair of a distinguished Bond villain.
11. Las Lajas Sanctuary church, Nariño, Colombia
Have you ever seen a church perched in such a perilous location as this? I haven't, and I'm very impressed by how safe, secure and blended into the rocks this basilica is embedded.
12. Air to air image of a Spitfire, taken over RAF Coningsby
The Spitfire is the pride of the RAF and a true symbol of British patriotism and aviation excellence. This rare shot gives you a feeling of what it must be like to have this devastating beauty on your tail.
