A young Chinese girl kicks during a kung-fu class at Ritan Park on June 11, 2016 in Beijing, China. Ritan, meaning “sun altar”, is among the oldest parks in Beijing, built in the early 1500s during the Ming dynasty for the emperor to make sacrifices to the sun. Less than half a kilometer square, Ritan these days is considered an oasis of green space in a sprawling city of skyscrapers, notorious air pollution, and a population of over 20 million people. Most Chinese live in small apartments with no access to gardens, leaving parks as a welcome haven for people, especially the elderly, to exercise, socialize, or enjoy a degree of privacy.

The calm before storm Bert, with the sunrise on November 22, 2024 through Durdle Door in Dorset, UK, the sun beams through the famous rock arch on the Jurassic Coastline, a shot known as “Through the Keyhole”. It only happens from the end of November to early January and not that often as clear skies are needed on the horizon for the sun to shine through. (Photo by Steve Hogan/Picture Exclusive)
