National Geographic Magazine's International Photo Contest has just ended, and there are some great submissions, like this one taken in India's Ganges River.
Says photographer Jenay Martin, "The Ganges is the holiest river in India. Every morning and every evening Hindus bathe in the holy river. However, it is very polluted, and in this very location there is no living oxygen and is pure sewage. Even in the filth of Varanasi, life goes on. People still bathe, and animals still manage to find things to eat. This goat is eating a holy garland that was offered to the river during a funeral procession."
For more images, visit the weekly galleries on National Geographic Magazine's site and vote for your favorite images. Viewer's Choice winners will be announced in early December. Check out the gallery of last year's Viewer's Choice favorites. Voting closes November 8.

The goat seems enjoy the holy garland!It's hard to clean.
Great photo! Varanasi is certainly a city of contrasts - dirty but beautiful, living but dying, etc.; it is one of the most memorable and spiritually powerful places we have ever visited.
Still, I appreciate Mark Twain's not entirely inaccurate description of the city: “Older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together.”
