However, it’s the slightly kooky or funny photos that we like the best out of all of these photos. Some of our favorites include Andrew James’ image of a snowy meet-cute between an elephant seal and a Gentoo penguin and Josien van Geffen’s surreal shot of a man who is not afraid to let his beach towel flag fly proud and high.
