Photo: @stevewinterphoto Smasher keeping a close eye on me through bamboo in #India's Bandhavgarh National Park, where I spent months photographing him and his siblings.

Havasu Falls, Arizona photo by @salvarezphoto (Stephen Alvarez) It would be hard to overstate how beautiful Havasupai Canyon and Havasu Falls are. We have all seen pictures of it before and the place is just as fantastic and magical as I had hoped. It is always a challenge to think of a new view of a well photographed landmark. Thanks to my very enthusiastic @natgeo photo expedition participants for making this image come together. #havasu #arizona #night #falls #grandcanyon @thephotosociety

In #Istanbul, the ferry ride over the #Bosphorus - bridging Asia and Europe - is often a moment for reflection. #Turkey is an incredible country full of contrast and energy. Here is hope for #PEACE and negotiations, following the recent clashes in Istanbul and other major cities across Turkey. Photo by @paleyphoto (Matthieu Paley) - @thephotosociety

iphone photo @CarstenPeter „#ROBOT PR2“: What a week of #exploration @ the #explorers symposium @natgeo headquarter. The annual Explorers Symposium has become a forum for visionary individuals across a range of fields to meet and find ways to collaborate on innovative projects. Chad Jenkins, #roboticist and #computer #scientist predicts widespread use of robots will transform #society in the near future, similar to how personal computing over the last 30 years has revolutionized our everyday lives. Robots already carry meals, medicines, blood samples, and laundry through hospitals and transform operating rooms with robotic surgery. At home, they now vacuum floors and will one day be assembling your do-it-yourself furniture. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/explorers https://www.willowgarage.com/pages/pr2/overview @thephotosociety #TPS The ROS open source robotic software framework and PR2 were developed together from the ground up. With PR2 and 1000+ libraries in the ROS ecosystem you can build on the power of the open source community. ROS.org

Photo by @TomasVH. The saddest thing I've seen on a Father's Day: Soledad Leon and her three sons, aged 2 to 7, fill potholes and beg for change from passing cars in #Peru. Soledad's husband left her and the children three months ago. They haven't heard from him since. The family is reduced to this kind of work to survive. The UN entity working to empower women can be visited at http://www.unwomen.org . Photo taken while on assignment for @NatGeo. #documentary #nonfiction #FathersDay @VIIPhoto

Photo @coryrichards An image from@my first assignment with @natgeo two years ago in Mustang, Nepal. Stars trails over the village of Tsarang...one of my favorites.

An inviting perch turns out to be a deadly trap for these two warblers. With feet and wings stuck to "lime sticks" placed by poachers in Egypt, the struggling and exhausted songbirds cannot escape. Across the Mediterranean, millions of birds are killed every year for food, profit, and amusement. See the heartbreaking National Geographic Magazine story, "Last Song" by writer Jonathan Franzen and photographer David Guttenfelder now online and on the shelves. Photo by @dguttenfelder
