Photographer: Iliyan Hristov, Sofia, Bulgaria
The Details: Sony Cyber-shot W1
Getting the Shot: "Shipka is a historical place in Bulgaria; the inspiration to build it came from a famous battle on a peak called Shipka," says Hristov. "The Bulgarian revolutionaries fought to death when trying to free Bulgaria from the Ottoman yoke. There is a special feeling when you get there and know what happened over a century ago. Other than climbing the 1,000 some odd steps to the top of the peak, I did not have any trouble taking the picture."
