[h=2]Beach, New Jersey [/h] Photograph by Steve Scanlon, Your Shot This Month in Photo of the Day: The Stories Behind Your Shots Similar clouds were visible the evening prior, so I had a hunch and woke up before dawn to set up for this shot at our beach club, Sands Beach Club, in Sea Bright, New Jersey. Using my tripod on the upper deck, I knew that the playground would make great foreground interest. This was taken on June 12, 2012. These structures, as well as the beach club, no longer exist. Hurricane Sandy destroyed them. Thankfully, the beach club is in the process of rebuilding. —Steve Scanlon
[h=2]Baseball, Cuba [/h] Photograph by Lisa Shires, Your Shot This Month in Photo of the Day: The Stories Behind Your Shots This photo was taken on February 24, 2013, in Havana, Cuba. Baseball is a staple part of Cuban culture, but most people in the streets of Habana Vieja were playing soccer, handball, chess, or dominos. It wasn't until five days into the trip that I wandered off of Paseo del Prado and finally found a group of young boys playing baseball. I watched them round the gloves they used for bases and chased after a fleeting ball or two before I started to shoot. Before leaving, I assumed the position of catcher and grabbed this image in the conveniently perfect light. —Lisa Shires

[h=2]Waves, Iceland [/h] Photograph by Sophie Carr This Month in Photo of the Day: Travel Photos This is a one-second exposure of the trails left by a crashing wave over small icebergs on Jökulsárlón beach; I think it looks a bit like an octopus.
[h=2]Hawa Mahal, India [/h] Photograph by Edward Graham This Month in Photo of the Day: Travel Photos I thought this would be a good place for pictures, so I returned during the evening on my second night in Jaipur. I got lucky with the rain because it made for interesting reflections, and I had a good time trying to capture the chaotic motion on the streets of Jaipur. Hawa Mahal (The Palace of Winds) is pictured in the background.
[h=2]Moscow, Russia [/h] Photograph by Dara Pilugina, National Geographic Your Shot This Month in Photo of the Day: Travel Photos On the day that I made this photo, it was really cold. It was the beginning of March, but in Russia it seemed like it was the middle of winter. I was lucky and unlucky with the weather at the same time. I was standing on the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge, and a cold strong wind was blowing, but the same wind drove the clouds in the sky and the ice on the river.
[h=2]Night Sky, Patagonia [/h] Photograph by Max Seigal This Month in Photo of the Day: Travel Photos I hiked several hours through the night in Patagonia to find a tree I had seen a few days earlier and photograph it with the night sky.
[h=2]Reflection, Reykjavík [/h] Photograph by Dana Clemons This Month in Photo of the Day: Travel Photos I was photographing the sunset over Reykjavík Harbor, Iceland, near sunset (around 11:30 p.m.). While sitting there with my tripod waiting, I turned around and saw this beautiful abstract reflection in the windows of the office building behind me.

The net consists of two parts: a red part where fish are trying to escape and an open part near the coast with which they collect the fish. The white dots are birds waiting to collect some fish.
[h=2]Bagpiper, Scotland [/h] Photograph by Kaitlyn Campbell This Month in Photo of the Day: Travel Photos While on a 20-day tour through England, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland, one of my favorite pictures out of the 1,500 I had taken was this one. There was a bagpiper at the tourist pull-off area playing for tips. When I showed this picture to my family, they said it looked like the piper was playing to the mountains, and that's how we like to think of it.

[h=2]Jameson’s Mamba, Cameroon [/h] Photograph by Mattias Klum, National Geographic This Month in Photo of the Day: Animal Pictures Jameson's mambas, like the one here in Cameroon, have hollow fangs that deliver toxins that can lead to respiratory paralysis—and a person's death within hours. But scientists are working to unlock the medical potential of venom, and soon the toxins from snakes like the mamba may combat heart disease or other ailments.

Flanked on two sides by the elevated rail, the art deco Trustees System Service Building, now a condominium, dates to 1930.
