Just another simple moment of human connection to remind we why I love Nepal and the work @dzifoundation is doing to support the most remote villages. Follow @renan_ozturk for more imagery from Nepal. #nepal
  • Photo by Juan Arredondo @juanarre | Visitors stand on line to enter Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. December is one of the most important months of the Catholic faith and Rome is home to one of the most visited Catholic sites, drawing Catholics from all around the world.

  • Photo by @hannahreyesmorales | Jessica Catiis, a Filipino domestic worker, died on July 4, 2017, in Saudi Arabia. Her remains, covered with just a loin cloth in a wooden box, were not returned to the Philippines until seven months later. Her family put her to rest in a beautiful ceremony, with her remains transported by a horse-drawn carriage. The whole barrio came and wept for their girl, who was said to be "full of dreams" and "always smiling." They were told she had committed suicide, though she had just been talking excitedly about applying for work in Taiwan days before. They have received none of her belongings. They sent her off with yellow flowers. One in ten Filipinos work abroad. Read more about the Filipino Diaspora in the December issue. #Family #love #FilipinoDiaspora

  • Photo by @michaelchristopherbrown | Jewish men pray at the Western Wall, an ancient limestone wall in the Old City of Jerusalem. I learned during a special tour of underground tunnels, arches and passageways which wind beneath the Muslim Quarter, that the original Wall stretches significantly further than what is seen by most visitors. Considered holy due to its connection to the Temple Mount, the holiest site in the Jewish faith lying just behind it, the Wall is the holiest place where Jews are permitted to pray. For Muslims, the Wall is the site where the Prophet Muhammed tied his steed on his night journey to Jerusalem before ascending to paradise, and constitutes the Western border of Haram ash-Sharif, the Noble Sactuary, which includes the al-Aqsa Mosque and Dome of the Rock.

  • Photo by Stephen Alvarez @salvarezphoto | Majalis al Jinn is one of the most spectacular places I have ever seen. It is an 11 acre cave room in the Sultanate of Oman. I shot this image in August of a shaft of light illuminating the room. Access is by way of a 600 foot drop down the middle of the cavern. Shot on assignment for @natgeo #oman #majalisaljinn
  • Photo by Michael Yamashita @yamashitaphoto | Great Wall of China at Jinshanling: It was once known as the Wild Wall as it stood unrestored from the time it was rebuilt in the 16th century. Nothing wild about it now, as much of it has been completely repaired and surrounded by tourist shops. Even a cable car stands ready to whisk you to the top. The hard part used to be climbing to the best locations for sunrise or sunset. Now it's finding an angle to keep the hundreds of visitors out of your frame. #greatwall #jinshanling #wildwall #mingdynasty #Hebei
  • Photo by @paulnicklen | King penguins assess the congestion of early morning traffic as they head to sea to get food for their chicks. Tens of thousands of elephant seals line the beaches of South Georgia as they have arrived to give birth to their pups. Less than a hundred years ago, elephant seal populations on South Georgia, Antarctica were nearly wiped out by our greed and mismanagement of wildlife populations. Their numbers are rebounding to near historic numbers. Please #followme on @paulnicklen to see the pots that were used to boil the fat off of elephant seals. #antarctica #penguin #elephant #seals #patternsofnature
  • Photo by @BrianSkerry | Researcher Enric Sala hovers over a giant, circular-shaped colony of coral at Kingman Reef in the central, South Pacific Ocean. This coral species was a discovery and was new to science. It is believed that this coral colony was more than 500-years old. Because of its remoteness, Kingman has remained relatively unspoiled and diving here is like traveling back in time.The reef community is vibrant and functioning as nature intended.
