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.

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.

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.
