Human activity in the modern world has an immense influence on the state and “health” of the nature. And while we continuously significantly pollute and exhaust our water, soil, and air resources, we still like to talk much about preserving, saving, and restoring natural riches. It is possible to say that it is even in high fashion today to be nature-friendly. Indeed, it’s hard to find a person who would confirm it aloud that he does not like, let’s say, animals. However, how many of us really care about them or at least notice them around? I’m afraid the number would be significantly lower if we answer honestly…

Our gifted photographers are among those who care about animals for fair; and the evidence is the gallery of images collected in our today showcase. It is dedicated to animals seen from the different angle (literary on some pictures :-)). Even the most common living creatures surrounding us every day, as sparrows, cats, and dogs, can be a real surprise for us if captured on the photos of creative and uncommonly thinking photographers. Though some of them look sad, the majority are still depicted merrily to show us that they are capable of cheering up, amusing us and enriching our life, and it is a strong reason for us to take good care of them, isn’t it?
