Located on the Caribbean Island of Saint Martin, Maho Beach is marked by its pristine white sand and crystal clear turquoise water. You would expect this beach to be a nice and quiet haven to relax, but the main reason why tourists throng here is to get a close encounter with airplanes. With the close proximity to the adjacent Princess Juliana International Airport, airlines fly so closely above the beach that their wheels look like they are close enough to be touched by beach goers.

Due to the short runway length of 2,180 meters (7.150 ft), approaching aircraft must touch down as close as possible to the beginning of Runway 10, flying over the beach at minimal altitude. Watching airliners pass over the beach is such a popular activity that the surrounding bars and restaurants display daily airline departure and arrival timetables.

Photograph or painting? This otherwordly image is a very real photo that was taken in the Namibian desert at twilight. While on assignment in Namibia for National Geographic magazine, Frans Lanting captured this surreal landscape image in a location called Dead Vlei. Due to the intensity of the sunlight falling only on the dune in the distance, while the foreground is still in early morning shadow, the trees are almost in silhouette and the photograph appears like a painting.

The orange background is a sand dune, called Big Daddy, that is almost 1,200 feet tall, creating a mysterious backdrop. The lighter spots on it are patches of white grass. The foreground is bluish and dark as a result of being in the shade.
