National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest: Merit Award Winner Jonas Peterson
So, it's not National Geographic Traveler's Grand Prize winner, but Jonas Peterson's Merit Award winning shot, Queensland, Australia, is spectacular…especially when you know the story behind it…Jonas Peterson's winner was taken while he shot scenes on a farm in Queensland, Australia. "Molly Nolan, the girl in the photo, became bored," Peterson says, "so I told her to look for tigers. Knowing Australia has no tigers, she reacted angrily. I turned to take photos. When I looked back, I saw her. Looking for tigers." (Canon EOS 5D camera, Canon EF 24-70 mm lens, exposure at 1/6400 second, f/2.8, ISO 200)See all the winning shots here.Via Nag on the Lake, where you'll always find something very, very cool.

Dogs as Shark Bait. Sign Petition to End Barbaric Practice.
Please help.
Michèle of Eurodogtraining writes on her blog today about the horrific news that dogs and cats are being used as shark bait on the French-controlled island of Réunion off Africa's east coast. This little guy is one that somehow escaped, recovered from his injuries, and was returned to his owners.
Although laws were passed making it illegal for fishing boats to carry any live or dead dogs or cats, dogs with hooks in them are still found weekly on the island.
Please take a moment to visit Michèle's blog and sign the petition to enforce these laws and end this barbaric practice.
