Solution for any numbers of directories:

$str = "/images/nature/photo.jpg";
print_r(basename(dirname($str)));

$str = "/images/nature/sub-nature/photo.jpg";
print_r(basename(dirname($str)));

let's say the url you're getting is in string. Then you can do the following to get the "nature" from the url. 

<?php
$str = "/images/nature/photo.jpg";
$brk = explode("/",$str);
print_r($brk[2]);
?>
