Scottish Sheep

Photograph by Marc Lanciaux, My Shot

This Month in Photo of the Day: Travel
Sheepherding in Scotland has a long history, not all of it pleasant. Many of the pastures in the Western Highlands—where these sheep peer through a fence—were created during the "clearances" of the late 1800s, when wealthy landowners seeking greater profits brutally evicted their tenants and converted their subsistence farmland to pasture.

Pointe du Raz, France

Photograph by Jennifer Pearce, Your Shot

This Month in Photo of the Day: Travel
Pointe du Raz is the westernmost point of France. After climbing to the end of the land—and having a brief slip and a worrisome moment—to suddenly see four priests climbing to the edge was quite profound even for someone nonreligious.

Church of the Good Shepherd

Photograph by Thomas Young, My Shot

This Month in Photo of the Day: Travel
An old stone church sits among the placid grasses of New Zealand's South Island, a land known for its wide expanses of untouched land and vast farming outlets.

Aotearoa, or "the long white cloud," was the first name given to New Zealand when the Maoris paddled their long canoes to its inlet shores centuries before European explorers sailed through the Pacific waters. Within the compact island nation there are alps to rival Switzerland’s, plains more fruitful than England’s, streams and rivers as laden with fish as Scotland’s, fjords reminiscent of Norway’s, and beaches as alluring as California’s.
