11 awesome TOP photographs published by Google+ photography enthusiasts on December 12.

This is the front wall of the 14th of July Glacier in Spitsbergen. As you can see from the Zodiac, it's pretty big! The Zodiac's probably a bit too close for comfort really. It's pretty common for large chunks of ice to break off the front wall in a process known as calving. Aside from the direct danger of the falling ice, it can generate large waves that could easily swamp a boat like this.

During our trip we did witness quite a few instances of ice calving off the front of glaciers and it was always a spectacular sight. Normally you'd hear a crack and boom before the ice started falling, so even if you weren't facing the right way you'd have a split second to turn around and watch.

I've seen many photos of Japan with tetrapods stacked against the shoreline but I've never seen them up close before. I thought using the T/S effect to miniaturize them would look cool, making them look like a giant's collection of jacks.

The Gap

Contribution to #MonochromeMonday, curated by +Siddharth Pandit

Similar but different to my shot posted on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/gilesmcgarry/6485919329. The clouds were even better for this shot, but the sunlight had gone a little so its not quite as bright and detailed as the other - still pleased with the result though

My contribution for both #MoonMonday curated by +Stephen Krieg and +sylvain roux, and #MountainMonday curated by +Michael Russell. I actually dug this shot out of the archives a while back after I had someone requested images from around where I live. Mt. Princeton (14,204 ft) is one of the Collegiate Peaks, a group of some of the highest mountain peaks in the Rocky Mountains.

Dark Fog

Being Manly is all about that air of mystery that we like to surround ourselves with.

What could be more mysterious sounding than a train horn off in the distant fog somewhere and what Man didn't want to be an Engineer when he grew up?

What is Plus Extract?

It's your DAILY dose of TOP Google Plus photographs, which were chosen by an algorithm that combines automatic steps and manual curation. This means that the DAILY TOPs are NOT based solely on popularity, and users with a small number of followers have a chance to be featured in the TOP. We use Google+ API for the automatic steps; Jarek Klimek is responsible for curation and communication with the authors.

We strongly respect the authors and their rights. +Jarek Klimek contacts every photographer featured in all DAILY TOPs and if any author decides that he/she doesn't want to be featured in the TOP, we respect this absolutely.

Catherine Hall About us and Google+

Google+ has flourished into a bustling online community for photographers – and one reason is the exceptional contribution of early adopters such as Jarek Klimek, Editor of PhotoExtract magazine.

Jarek had the foresight to research the new social network and created an authoritative list of photographers to follow on Google+.

His viral list has not only become one of the top referring resources of photography trailblazers, it is also shared and watched by leaders such as Guy Kawasaki, Robert Scoble and Darren Rowse.

Jarek has helped introduce the work of great photographers to Google+ photography enthusiasts and I was very excited to share his insights with viewers on TWiT Photo.
