Mangrove Saplings, Bali
Photograph by Tim Laman
This Month in Photo of the Day: Nature
To reestablish mangroves on the island of Bali, workers set out some 1,300 saplings an acre (0.4 hectares); nearly a thousand acres (400 hectares) have been planted. Indonesia's forestry minister says that since the deadly 2004 tsunami, his people have come to value the protection coastal forests can provide.
This photograph was taken on assignment for "Mangroves: Forests of the Tide" in the February 2007 National Geographic.

Hanging Laundry, Kansas

This Month in Photo of the Day: Nature
"We're farm people," says Janice Haney of Greensburg, Kansas. "I enjoy hanging clothes out. We don't have to waste electricity on the dryer. The good old Kansas wind can do it on its own."

Giraffes at Sunset, Masai Mara Park, Kenya
Photograph by Randy Crossley
This Month in Photo of the Day: Nature
After a safari in the Masai Mara Park we were racing back to our camp trying to get home before sunset. No one is allowed out in the park after dark. When I saw this photo op I had to convince our driver to stop just for a second so I could take this one picture. It was worth the risk of a fine for being out after sunset but fortunately we made it back in time.

Green Window Frame and Silhouette
Photograph by Anna Frenette
This Month in Photo of the Day: Nature
While exploring Walkerville, Ontario's vacant, leafy icon known as the Walker Power Building, I noticed how forlorn my dim reflection appeared in its window. The vibrant colour of the windowpane and its climbing spring leaves contrast the dismal fate of this historic landmark.

Green Roof, New York City
Photograph by Diane Cooke and Len Jenshel
This Month in Photo of the Day: Nature
Some green roofs can be far simpler to create than traditional roof gardens. Volunteers from Cook + Fox installed the New York City architectural firm’s roof themselves using Green Paks. The polyethylene bags, marketed by St. Louis-based Green Roof Blocks, contain low-maintenance plants and can be laid out with no preparation beyond rolling out a layer of waterproof material that controls drainage and blocks the intrusion of roots into roof structures.

Dry Ranch, Australia

This Month in Photo of the Day: Nature
Simon Booth remembers when he grazed 250 head of cattle on his ranch in
southeastern Australia—a sight his children Ryan and Claire may never see. A seven
-year drought has the region, and its people, in its grips.

Drill Pad on Wetlands, Russia

This Month in Photo of the Day: Nature
A drill pad built on top of fragile wetlands probes for new oil reserves. Technology imported from the West is helping Russia's oil industry modernize, but Soviet-era spills and pipeline breaks have contaminated much of the region.

Humpback Whales in Sunlit Water, Tahiti
Photograph by Jody MacDonald
This Month in Photo of the Day: Nature
When you swim with humpback whales it's not their size that overwhelms you but their beauty. You want to stay in that moment forever. These three humpbacks came over to me to check me out. They put on a beautiful dancing display that makes your heart stop and you wish for the moment to never end. When they were done ten minutes later they took off but left me with amazing memories. Tahiti, French Polynesia.

Porcupine Mountains Waterfall, Michigan
Photograph by Gowtham Shankara
This Month in Photo of the Day: Nature
This is the result of a ten-second exposure on a breezy evening from a suspension bridge in Upper Michigan's Porcupine Mountains. Thankfully, no one was around the bridge to induce camera shake. At the end of it all, it was very, very satisfying and yes, ten seconds—often a minuscule amount of time in our daily standards—did feel like eternity.

Mt. Kilauea Eruption at Night, Hawaii
Photograph by Alvin Pastrana
This Month in Photo of the Day: Nature
Lava from Mt Kilaeau flowed down the slopes via lava tubes into the ocean and the resulting violent explosions generated such large steam columns as to pull up waterspouts from the sea. This spectacular display continued into the night and also called down lightning from the sky.

Khumbu Icefall Traverse, Nepal
Photograph by Bobby Model
This Week in Photo of the Day: Mount Everest
Sherpa Nima Dorje Tamang traverses a ladder on the Khumbu Icefall of Mount Everest in Nepal. "Universally terrifying, it is the most dangerous part of the southern route on Everest. The constantly shifting Khumbu Icefall is like a bunch of ice cubes continually tumbling down the icy mountain wall," said photographer Bobby Model.
