Ansel Adams once said:

“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”

Words have become unclear for me this morning, so I’ll just have to focus my thoughts with the 25 best photographs the 500px community has managed to capture over the past week—from wanderlust-inspiring vistas, to powerful portraits, to the happiest fox in the world.

Enjoy, be inspired, and keep shooting!
