If you live anywhere near a city, you'll be lucky to see a single star in the night sky. Luckily for us, there are people like Knate Myers to capture the beauty of the night sky. Knate is a self-taught photographer living in Albuquerque,NM who only recently discovered timelapse and astro photography. It's a good thing he lives in the southwest. It allows him to capture the stars and sky away from the city lights, resulting in some beautiful shots.
If you like his photos, you can buy a calendar of them on Zazzle.
Cristobal Garciaferro Rubio is an architect by trade, but he is also an fantastic photographer. Here are just a few of his majestic landscape photos. I am especially fond of the shots of the smoking volcanoes!
Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat located in Altiplano, Bolivia. In the rainy season it is covered with a large layer of salt and it turns into a huge mirror.
If you looked up into the night sky on Sat. May 5th, you may have noticed the perigee moon aka "Supermoon". The once a year event occurs when the moon is closest to Earth, and is magnified when there is a full moon. If you didn't catch it, The Big Picture has you covered with this awesome set.

Terje Sorgjerd's time lapse video at the top of El Teide, Spain's tallest mountain, is truly a thing of magic. His goal was to capture the Milky Way and the mountains of El Teide, and he did an amazing job of it. I love every second of this video.
