Coast Guard wives feed the Farallones' ubiquitous rabbits in 1943. Two decades earlier, club-wielding Navy men failed to wipe out the invasive species.

@chai2,
It doesn't look like she even got her feet wet. Some kind of trick of surface tension?

@roger,
No trick - literally surface tension. Like us walking on a pool of jello.

@Barry The Mod,
Love it! The black Lab is almost identical to the one we lost in January - he loved swimming too.

I'm still not sure what natural effect created that "hole" in the water, the photographer didn't explain it well. But I guess it's just random movement of the water.

A photo of a dolphin surfing in the waves off Northern Ireland is this year's overall winner. Titled "In the Living Room," it was taken by photographer George Karbus, a Czech photographer who is based in Ireland.
