Sunlit Cenote
Photograph by Terry Steeley, National Geographic Your Shot
Timed right, diving a cenote can be a truly magical experience, hugely rewarding and unlike most other scuba adventures, writes Terry Steeley, a member of our Your Shot community who dove on Mexicos Yucatn Peninsula. I had dived many times at the Taj Mahal cenote, but today was different: Navigating my way through the tunnels to Bills Hole provided a real treat. The intimately lit cavern layered against energetically dancing light beams was breathtaking. Indeed, a very special dive.

Lamborghini’s Rare First 4-Wheel “Rambo-Lambo” Truck to Auction
None!looks a little big like a modern Chevy.

This is the stuff car legends are made of. From 1986 to 1993, Lamborghini dipped their toes into the world of sport utility vehicles with the LM002, the Italian maker’s first-ever four-wheel drive “truck” which looked like it came straight out of Mad Max. Dubbed the “Rambo Lambo,” the LM002 was quite a departure for Lamborghini who were known for their high-performance sports cars. A red 1989 Lamborghini LM002 with 18,000 miles on the OD is set for auction on January 15, 2015 in Arizona. Auction estimates put it at somewhere around $175,000 to $225,000. Not bad. Find more info on the auction here.

Why won't OPEC cut production ?
None!Despite falling crude oil prices, key members of OPEC reiterated over the weekend that they intend to keep drilling and pumping.
Yesterday, the oil minister for Saudi Arabia, OPEC’s biggest and most influential member, indicated the cartel would never cut production. Analyst Bhushan Bahree at IHS Energy notes the cartel’s last supply cut in 2008 backfired when competitors ate into its market. OPEC does not want a rerun.
Persistent low prices could in fact benefit the cartel long-term: They could cultivate a new generation of drivers, and alleviate concerns in the oil patch that global demand for oil may soon peak. Political concerns are also in play: OPEC's supply-king, Saudi Arabia, could see low prices bankrupting its key nemesis, Iran. If Tehran runs out of money to support Syria’s regime, as well as its own nuclear ambitions, Valerie Marcel of the Chatham House think tank says that would go down as a victory in Saudi Arabia.

Double Vision
Photograph by Stphane Scotto, National Geographic Your Shot
Kayakers navigate a watery fairway on the Bay of Arcachon in southwestern France. Your Shot member Stphane Scotto was shooting aerial images from an ultralight motorized plane while the subject of a TV segment about his work on the bay. The tide was changing, and I saw these two kayaks, he writes. [The scene] looked like an iris in which clouds were reflected."

Incoming Flight
Photograph by Klaus Nigge, National Geographic
Two bald eagles aim for the same post in Alaskas Aleutian Islands. According to Klaus Nigge, who wrote the January 2015 National Geographic story First Bird, the one that lands first in such squabbles usually vacates the perch in order to avoid being raked by the incoming birds open talons.

Salar de Uyuni Sunrise
Photograph by Hideki Mizuta, National Geographic Your Shot
No wind, no soundit was a very calm morning, writes Hideki Mizuta, a member of our Your Shot community who captured this image at Bolivias Salar de Uyuni. I joined a sunrise tour at 2 a.m., first seeing a star-filled sky, and then early in the morning, around 5 a.m., this scene appeared through the window of the car. I ran out in a hurry. It was an amazing view that I couldnt put into words. I thought, I want this scene all to myself, and walked away from people and took this photo in absolute silence.
Mizutas picture recently appeared in Your Shots Daily Dozen.
