I was on a cross continent bicycle trip with three friends. We stopped at a hot springs in Idaho to soak and have lunch - Eric Gardner Pittsburgh, PA,USA.

I took this picture of a very unusual iceberg formation in Paradise Bay, Antarctica. It was about 6am on January 21st, 1995. The air temperature was about 20 degrees F. The water was, well damn cold. I was seated in a Zodiac landing craft when I took this. I spent 4 days on vacation in the Antarctic Peninsula region. By the way the hole is wide enough and tall enough to drive two semi trucks through - Bill Boyer, Denver, CO, USA.

Playing with friends Quickcam. It got a little weird - Jeff Barrett, Dallas, Tx, U.S.A

Here's a photo of my friend and her pup on a SeaDoo at a local lake. Bart the dog, starts jumping nad yipping the moment he sees his life jacket being taken out of the closet. He loves to ride on the back of the SeaDoo - Richard, Schroeder, New Braunfels, Texas, USA.

This is a picture I took with my friend Bruno. It is a view over the roofs of Tampere, Finland. It is a B/W photo, which I hand coloured afterwards - Juha Valimaki, Tampere, Finland.

Me, hard at work, in the middle of the bay. (It's the only way to work!) - Larry Margolis, Ossining, NY, USA

Ice caves, in alps. All the formations are ice (as are the roof and floor). Shot lit with burning mag strips and a loooong exposure - aprox 500~ ft below ground at this point. - Louis Towles, Atlanta, Ga,USA.

Shot this of my son while vacationing in Burnsville, North Carolina.... I don't know what had him cracking up but it did - Jack LaMont, Miami, Fl , USA
