National Geographic assembled a list of the
World's Best Hikes, including 20 Dream Trails across the globe. With the help of photographer/hikers on Flickr we put together a gallery of great images from those trails.

We hope you will be inspired by these images of everyday people, enjoying the rugged, natural beauty of the world around them.
Now, get out there and take a hike! Grab your friends and your backpack, and feel the exhilaration of the great outdoors. Don't forget to share your adventure in the comments on the Take A Hike Gallery or below using this format:

I don't know about you, but I've always thought that having one's photo published by National Geographic is the ultimate honor a photographer can have....
So imagine my surprise when I found out that a photo of Dominica that I took a couple of years ago was featured on the National Geographic website. You can see the usage at this link:

Now, its not the same as making it to the pages of the print magazine, but I have to admit that I was pleased that one of my photos showed up on anything affiliated with National Geographic.
I hope you'll excuse my pride, but I wanted to share it with my friends here on Flickr.
And where did they find the photo?
On Flickr, of course.
You just never know who is looking at your work.....apparently even National Geographic editors visit here.
These are the same small falls mentioned in the adjacent photo, from a much different angle. I feel we always look at falls head on, and I wanted to do it differently this time--so I took this photo from the side. Sometimes something as simple as a placement/compositional change can make all the difference.

My prize winning shot that was placed third and published in National Geographic Traveller earlier this month. Chuffed to bits!

Published in a National Geographic Book!!!
Earlier this year I received an email from National Geographic. National Geographic photographer Anand Varma had seen the photograph by Sean Goebel and me of our friend Wade Meade hiking Half Dome in Yosemite National Park at night and he wanted to include it in a book he was putting together.
The book was to be called Invisible Wonders and this is the blurb you can see over on Amazon:
--------
In this dazzling coffee table book, acclaimed scientist-photographer Anand Varma unveils a world never before seen by human eyes, achieved through the innovative techniques of today’s finest photographers.
“If we hold our breath and gaze a bit more carefully at our world, we might just glimpse a few beautiful secrets hiding in plain sight,” writes Anand Varma
--------
The photo is a co-creation with my friend Sean Goebel and I quickly contacted him. We jumped at the chance, naturally.
After doing all the paperwork and sending the image, I was feeling cautiously optimistic. When it became available, I pre-ordered the book. While it certainly was implied that the image would make it into the book, I wasn’t going to say anything until I had a copy in my hand. It didn’t seem real. That day finally arrived yesterday, when a box containing this spectacular volume arrived at my door. I quickly flipped through and found our image. A full two page spread. In a National Geographic Book. Looking through the names of other photographers in this incredible volume… wow what an honor to have such company.
Thank you so much to Anand Varma and the team at National Geographic for including us in this incredible book. It feels surreal to open a book with National Geographic and that iconic logo on the cover and inside is one of my images.
Star, NC has the distinction of being the exact geographic center in the state.
Here, a local Aberdeen, Carolina & Western train heads that way, cruising through the rolling hills of North Carolina.

These two photos are in the Canadian Geographic Magazine Ultimate Quiz Edition this month
The two photos are from a road trip to the Canadian Rockies Last Fall. They are both from the stunning Lake O'Hara, Yoho National Park, British Columbia.

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has infuriated people from Alberta, after failing to give the province a shout-out on Canada Day. The gaffe came as the country celebrated its 150th birthday at the weekend. Kicking off celebrations, the PM name-checked 12 of Canada's 13 provinces and territories - but not Alberta.
