Most breathtaking photos

All this photos down there are found on Facebook, the World's '100' Most Breathtaking photos :) these are real photos taken and not edited ones.i selected a few that i really like and one of it has a story behind it too.












Even in the bad times, beautiful things do happen.


This photo is taken by Kevin Carter, a photographer.The girl toddler had stopped to rest while struggling to a feeding center (children were suffering from famine), then a vulture had landed behind her. The vulture was waiting for the toddler to die so that it can prey on her. Carter said that he waited about 20 minutes, hoping that the vulture would spread its wings. After that he did chased away the vulture.However, he also came under heavy criticism for just photographing and not helping the little girl. :( it's really sad. It was said that the little girl had enough strength to walk away from the vulture, but her ultimate fate was unknown. Due to too many pressure from debts and vivid memories of pain of starving children, Carter commited suicide. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography.
I felt that we are really fortunate to live in a country with no starvation, clean environment and lastly lovely family :). I hope that the little girl is still surviving and have grown up to be a healthy girl. I also know there are still many people out there suffering. How i wish i could help all of them from those torment.
