Photo of the Day: Best of 2007

National Geographic posted the best of Photo of the Day section. There are some gorgeous photos to check out.

Approximately 60 miles (100 kilometers) from Belize City, the almost perfectly circular Blue Hole is more than 1,000 feet (305 meters) across and some 400 feet (123 meters) deep.The hole is the opening to what was a dry cave system during the Ice Age. When the ice melted and the sea level rose, the caves were flooded, creating what is now a magnet for intrepid divers. Today the Blue Hole is famed for its sponges, barracuda, corals, angelfish—and a school of sharks often seen patrolling the hole’s edge.

Found only on the islands of Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and Hawaii, the happy face spider, such as this one guarding its eggs on a leaf in Maui, is known for the unique patterns that decorate its pale abdomen. Scientists believe Theridion grallator may have developed its distinctive markings to discourage birds from eating it.

Flaring gills, three-pointed teeth, and an eel-like body make the frilled shark look like a living fossil. So when a fisher spotted one off Japan in January 2007, he knew he had something special.

Long live Earth

Nothing feels better than taking a minute everyday to enjoy the natural beauty surrounding us. I can feel the earth breathing, shifting, and changing around us. This is the trailer of "Planet Earth", a must-see BBC production. Its an eye-opening, breathtaking experience. Amid all the confusion, I hope we will be able to embrace and protect our planet.
