Parade of the pachyderms in India

Mary Lang of Culver City teaches ancient civilizations to sixth-graders, so it was fitting that she spent spring break exploring the centuries-old forts of India's Golden Triangle with her husband, Joseph Hernandez. To get this bird's-eye view of elephants on parade at Amber Fort near Jaipur, she had to ride one to the top.

Day of the iguana

Bob Ginn of Arcadia has had a couple of driving adventures in Mexico with his friend Leo Rodriquez. On a 2004 trip on the Yucatan Peninsula, where some of Rodriquez's relatives live, Ginn spotted these well-camouflaged iguanas basking on a fountain in the seaside village of Mahahual. They were right in the village,

Awash in color in Croatia

The small chores that make up the fabric of life in other countries enrich a traveler's experience, as Doug Allen of Rancho Palos Verdes found out on his May trip to Dubrovnik, Croatia. In town because of a cruise, the 77-year-old and his wife, Gail, were walking along the ancient wall of the city when they came across this scene of a woman hanging her laundry. What attracted him to the shot?

Dinner in progress in Africa

Kevan and Norma Newton of Los Angeles hoped they wouldn't see a kill during their honeymoon safari last July in Kenya and Tanzania. They didn't realize they had until Kevan took a closer look at this colorful bird he photographed during a stop to view a leopard in Tanzania's Tarangire National Park. He used a 300-mm lens on his Canon Digital Rebel to capture the surprising scene.

Cute times 5 in the Philippines

Barbara Smith of San Diego took this shot from the passenger seat of a rental car crossing the Nagtahan Bridge in the outskirts of Manila during a two-week tour of the Philippines in January. As the driver slowed the car, the children scrambled up the bridge and within seconds spontaneously struck this enchanting pose. Below is the Pasig River. The buildings in the distance are some of the high-rises of Manila. Smith's camera: a Fuji Finepix S7000.

When in Paris, pucker up

Gene Domingo, of Diamond Bar, spotted this couple two levels above him on the Eiffel Tower on an overcast morning. “They were gazing down on the view below and then they looked at each other and there was a gleam in their eyes,” Domingo recalls. “I knew they were going to kiss, so I waited for the moment ... ready to shoot.” Mission accomplished. He used a Canon EOS 40D 28-135mm with a polarizer.

Icelandic beauty

Iceland is not a place you would think of visiting in the dead of winter, but that's exactly what Stephen Krupnick of Laguna Beach did in January. He happened upon this frozen scene near Lake Myvatn in the northeastern part of the island. The landscape was encased in ice and snow, but the geothermally heated lake was not. He used a Nikon D40X with a zoom.

A slice of Italy

It was the shaft of light on a Venice canal that captivated Karen Carabello of Long Beach in April. She and her boyfriend, Erik Bueno, were looking for a place to eat. “It was almost set up, ready for a photo,” Karen said, so she pulled the camera, a Panasonic Lumix, from Erik’s hands and snapped the shot. Karen was so taken with Italy on their 2 1/2 -week trip that she returned in September.
