I subscribe to National Geographic in part for the great photography.   In additional to publishing photos taken by their professional photographers, NG also sponsors various photography contests in which readers send in their inspiring, idyllic and oftentimes stunning images.   Here are two of the NG contest sites (here and here), with lots of incredible sights to be seen.

I can’t say enough about all of the terrific written content of National Geographic either.    It is a must-read every month for me.  What a bargain!  For only $15 per year (a fraction of the cost of a  ticket to many spectator events), you’ll be transported to the four corners of the Earth (and beyond) every month.
