“Flying through the air these amazing bull leapers compete in the ultimate game of chance. Displaying flips, leaps and jumps these modern day Spanish ‘Recortadores’ continue a bull leaping tradition that goes back to the legendary King Minos from Crete’s Minoan civilisation around 1500 BC. Each year, bull fighting teams from all over Spain descend upon the Plaza de Toros stadium in Valencia to battle in this daring competition… Established in ancient bronze age Crete during the Minoan era, bull leaping is practiced throughout Europe from France to Portugal… With as many as three bulls in the ring at any one time, each ‘Recortadores’ team – made up of between 5 and 7 members – go head-to-head in a dangerous and skilful performance which can last up to four hours. Like the bull jumpers themselves, photographer Mery had to rely on reflexes and instinct to get these incredible images. ‘To take pictures like this, especially action shots, you have to visualize the scene in your mind,’ she said. ‘There is a moment when your instinct tells you it’s the right second to press the button. ‘I watched the whole competition with the camera up to my eye, following the action all the time. ‘What I like about these images is that they show the skill and strength of man and beast in one moment.” w/ photos
Hawaiian Turtles Surf The Waves

“He has eaten a big lunch and had a snooze on the beach. So this turtle is looking for a nice quiet journey home. Rather than be crashed about on the breakers as he makes his way back out to sea, he ducks down to the sand for a smoother ride. The Hawaiian green sea turtle makes the same journey every day to and from the Laniakea Beach in Hawaii, where he munches on seaweed and takes his rest. He and his friends have been caught on camera by surf photographer Clark Little. Mr Little, 40, took the pictures this summer while shooting waves from below sea-level. He said: ‘The turtles often travel through the breaking waves. I usually run into them after they have been eating. What they try and do is swim under the wave, to avoid a thrashing.” w/ photos
