Our 2012 desk calendar theme will feature images that reflect your favorite landmarks or sights--where you live or anywhere in the world.

We are looking for your photographs that are natural, national, cultural--what you feel represents where you're from and who you are. A terrific view. A popular location. Historical, contemporary. The unusual. Sights and scenes that say, "Look at this!"

Show us what A World of Pride means to you.

The 14 creme de la creme images will be published in our 2012 official calendar.

Thank you to all contest participants!

Gaomei Wetland - Taiwan


These entries represent the historical building or the natural landscape
from my country, Taiwan, which show our faith or our life.
Gaomei was called Gaomi in the Qing Dynasty and was renamed during the Japanese occupation. The wetlands here are over 300 hectares, but the area is only 1/10 of Dadu River wetlands.

The geography is divided into 7 categories, which results in diversified organisms in this area. Gaomei Wetlands is one of the few places that has wild ducks.

Despite the small area, Gaomei Wetlands have special soils mixed with mud and sand. Ecology here breeds diversified organisms of both plants and animals. Research shows that animals here include birds, fishes, crabs and invertebrates.
