Today’s Solutions: December 16, 2025

There is something so awing about looking at the water. Whether it’s in the form of powerful waves or perfectly still ponds, water’s shape-shifting powers make it an endlessly fascinating thing to observe.

Recently, the photography social network Agora held a competition to provoke photographers to send in their best photos featuring H2O. Many of the featured photographs investigate how humans interact with water, often capitalizing on natural phenomenons to harvest food.

Portuguese photographer Joao Galamba’s incredible aerial shot of Timorese fisherman offers a stunning look at an annual event when the first rain of the year introduces the muddy river water to the deep blue sea. The winner of the event, titled Thirsty Ants, features two ants sipping what looks like an oversized droplet of water.

If you’re like us and love the water, here you can find stunning photos from Agora’s photo contest.
