"Think about that feeling you get when you are walking through pristine nature.
Do you think it can be captured in a single photo?

The Wiki Loves Earth photography competition celebrates the world’s natural
heritage, encompassing everything from small parks to massive nature reserves.
It asks photographers to dive into those areas to pick out a little slice of
nature, whether mundane or extraordinary, and share it with the world."

"Wiki Loves Earth began nine years ago and has been organized by volunteers
with support of Wikimedia Ukraine each year since then. This year’s contest was
the largest ever in terms of countries participating (39), and over 4,000
people ended up submitting over 50,000 photos. Of all those photos, 427 were
selected at the country level in two categories (landscapes and macro/close-up)
to be judged in the international contest.

All of the photos had to be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a free-licensed
media repository with content that can be used by anyone in the world with few
restrictions."

Share and enjoy,
