Nat Geo was kind to share with us some of its editors’ favourite images that are in the running. The winner will be announced on December 15.

  • Childhood

    When does childhood become adulthood? When does snack time become lunch at your desk? When did safety shift from blankies to insurance? When did magic turn into illusion? Childhood. When the whole world is magic. Image by Mei Ratz /National Geographic Photo Contest.

  • Trees cocooned in spiders' webs after flooding in Pakistan, 7 December 2010.

    An unexpected side-effect of the 2010 flooding in parts of Sindh, Pakistan, was that millions of spiders climbed up into the trees to escape the rising flood waters; because of the scale of the flooding and the fact that the water took so long to recede, many trees became cocooned in spiders webs.
