Hout Bay / Imizamo Yethu. Hout Bay is a picturesque valley about 15km south of Cape Town. Nestled between two affluent housing estates is the suburb of Imizamo Yethu, comprised of both a designated housing area and an ?informal settlement? area, which is largely comprised of small tin-roof shack dwellings which stretch up the steep slopes of the mountain behind it. The most striking thing is the number of trees in Tierboskloof (the richer estate), versus the almost treeless Imizamo Yethu
Unequal Scenes: Segregation of urban spaces in South Africa - 2016
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/sgkr
A photographer has captured a stark view of the urban economic segregation in South Africa.
Johnny Miller has used drone technology to take an aerial view of the divide in standards of living between the poor and the wealthy.
His work highlights how the manicured suburbs of the middle classes sit only several hundred metres away from the ramshackle shanty towns of the poorest members of society.
An example include a God's-eye view of the picturesque suburbs looking out onto the glistening waters of Lake Michelle, 20km from Cape Town?s city centre. Separated by wetlands, a guard house and an electrified fence, the 38,000 inhabitants of the neighbouring tin shacks of Masiphumelele are a world away.

Photographer Valerio Berdini spent days walking the streets of Lisbon, trying to put into pictures the most peculiar of Portuguese feelings: 'Saudade'.
Saudade is a Portuguese word that has no direct translation in English.
It describes a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing may never return.

A photographer has released a stunning series of photos that show the raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands.
Scotland-based photographer Camillo Berenos has spent the past few years travelling though the highlands, capturing breath-taking pictures along the way.
Camillo said: "Unlike many who undertake such projects, I haven't focused on a single defined geographical area, though the majority of my photographic forays have taken me to the Western and North-Western Highlands.
"From the vast but also familiar landscapes of Rannoch Moor and Glen Coe, to the relentlessly steep slopes of the hills in Kintail and the rugged and shapely mountain massifs of Torridon and Wester Ross, I have spent many hours in the hills, with specific destinations often primarily being determined by where the weather forecast looked most favourable."

Sochi, Russia Winter Olympic Sites (Mountain Cluster)
Sochi, Russia Winter Olympic Sites (Mountain Cluster)
The 2014 Winter Olympic ski runs may be rated double black diamond, but they're not quite as steep as they appear in this image of the skiing and snowboarding sites for the Sochi Winter Olympic Games, acquired on Jan. 4, 2014, by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instrument on NASA's Terra spacecraft. Rosa Khutar ski resort near Sochi, Russia, is in the valley at center, and the runs are visible on the shadowed slopes on the left-hand side of the valley. Height has been exaggerated 1.5 times to bring out topographic details. The games, which begin on Feb. 7 and continue for 17 days, feature six new skiing and boarding events plus the return of the legendary Jamaican bobsled team to the winter games for the first time since 2002.
In this southwest-looking image, red indicates vegetation, white is snow, and the resort site appears in gray. The area imaged is about 11 miles (18 kilometers) across in the foreground and 20 miles (32 kilometers) from front to back. The image was created from the ASTER visible and near-infrared bands, draped over ASTER-derived digital elevation data.
With its 14 spectral bands from the visible to the thermal infrared wavelength region and its high spatial resolution of 15 to 90 meters (about 50 to 300 feet), ASTER images Earth to map and monitor the changing surface of our planet. ASTER is one of five Earth-observing instruments launched Dec. 18, 1999, on Terra. The instrument was built by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. A joint U.S./Japan science team is responsible for validation and calibration of the instrument and data products.
The broad spectral coverage and high spectral resolution of ASTER provides scientists in numerous disciplines with critical information for surface mapping and monitoring of dynamic conditions and temporal change. Example applications are: monitoring glacial advances and retreats; monitoring pote

Baby Bird project by Gavin Parsons, Britain - Dec 2011
FULL WORDS: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/drxe
An adorable project shows the baby birds of Britain in the first days of their lives.
Wildlife photographer Gavin Parsons has worked closely with UK rescue centres to capture chicks bought in for care.
He has spent the last three years photographing some of the baby birds bought into Folly Wildlife Rescue in Sussex and the RSPCA Wildlife Rescue Centre West Hatch in Somerset.
Each year hundreds of hatchlings are bought to rescue centres either after their nests have been disturbed or when they have been mistakenly picked up by well-meaning members of the public after they have fledged.

The Scene at the Top of Beachy Head
GRIEVING PARENTS LEAP TO DEATH WITH BODY OF SON
A grieving couple have committed suicide following the death their son.
Neil Puttick, 34, and his wife Kazumi, 44, leapt to their deaths at Beachy Head in Eastbourne, while carrying the body of their five-year-old son Sam.
The desperate act came just hours after the youngster, who had been paralysed from the neck down in a car crash as a baby, died from meningitis.
The three bodies were found by coastguards around 400ft down the cliffside.
Sam's body was found in a rucksack near to his parents. A second rucksack was found to contain children's toys.
Chief Inspector Dick Coats of Sussex Police said officers were not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.
Sam was left paralysed when he was 16 months old after his baby chair was thrown out of a car during a crash.
Charity worker Neil and translator Kazumi - originally from Japan - gave up their jobs in order to care for their son.
They went on to raise around GBP 30,000 in order to adapt their home - a cottage in Brokerswood, Wiltshire.
However, tragedy struck when Sam contracted viral meningitis. After being told by doctors that there was no way to save him the Puttick's took him home to die, which he did on Friday (29 May).
Less than 48 hours later, on Sunday (31 May), Neil and Kazumi drove to Beachy Head with the body of their son as part of a suicide pact.
The cliffs at Beachy Head reach up to about 600ft (180m) high and are a suicide black spot.
According to Coastguard Stuart McNab, who recovered the three bodies, an average of 20 people jump from the cliffs every year.
The Beachy Head Chaplaincy Team was set up in 2004 to patrol the area in an attempt to prevent suicides.
