Although the world is home to magnificent landscapes, we unfortunately do not have the chance to see all these sights in a lifetime. But thanks to photographers, these images are shared with us in the highest possible quality. Although these photos do not make you feel like you went there, they show again and again how beautiful the Earth has.
This year, a brand new photography competition was launched, focusing on nature photography and awarding photographers. The winners of the first-ever Natural Landscape Photography Awards were announced today. Some of the winning photos show that Earth is a place filled not only with beauty but also with pain.
