A Misty Autumnal Walk, The Peak District, Derbyshire (Scott Antcliffe)
"I’m fortunate to live in the Peak District, the UK’s oldest national park. I love this location for its ancient trees. Coupled with fog in autumn, it’s a stunning place."
- Scott Antcliffe, Primary School Teacher
Glacial River Bend, Baltoro Glacier, Pakistan (George Robertson)
"This image was taken on the Baltoro Glacier in the Karakoram mountains of Northern Pakistan. The surface of the glacier in places has many of these amazing melt water channels winding their way down the mountain."
- George Robertson, Retired
Golden Vestrahorn, Stokksnes Peninsula, Iceland (Miguel De Freitas)
"One of the most photographed mountains in Iceland and for me the surrounding landscape is as captivating as the mountain itself; the contrast of the golden grass against the black sand with the snow-capped mountain in the background is a striking image."
- Miguel De Freitas, Accountant
Lone Tree In Hayden Valley, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA (Tina Bulley)
"Hayden Valley is a vast undulating grassland in West Yellowstone National Park. It was the simplicity and tranquillity of the lone tree in the snowy landscape which attracted my attention."
- Tina Bulley, Retired
Twenty-Five Seconds In Time (Clint Walker)
"I wanted to freeze the moment, but capture the movement. The juxtaposition of tumbling water and whirling leaves caught my eye on a coolly lit autumn morning."
- Clint Walker, Retired Firefighter
Naqsh-e Jahan Square Reflections, Isfahan, Iran (Kevin Lloyd)
"Naqsh-e Jahan Square is a bustling plaza surrounded by beautiful historic buildings. It truly comes alive in the evening as the people of Isfahan gather to socialise by the fountains."
- Kevin Lloyd, Web Designer
Sahara, Erg Chigaga, Morocco (Heather McNeice)
"Standing on a dune at Erg Chigaga in the Moroccan Sahara, I spotted two tiny figures in the distance that put into perspective the vastness of this empty landscape."
Sunrise At Monument Valley, Arizona, USA (Brett Heppolette)
"Monument Valley, Arizona. West and East Mittens and Merrick Butte at sunrise. Sandstone towers rising up to 1000ft above the desert, carved from the Colorado Plateau by erosion."
- Brett Heppolette, Retired
Sunrise Masai Mara, Masai Mara National Park, Kenya (Bill Klipp)
"When we visit the Masai Mara I make a point out of getting out early for sunrise near the Mara River. It’s a magical spot especially if you can find a good foreground for sunrise."
- Bill Klipp, Retired
The Gates Of Hell, Masaya, Nicaragua (Roberto Destarac)
"It was the name given to the active Masaya Volcano Crater in Nicaragua by the early Spaniards as local natives made human sacrifices by throwing people into the flowing lava."
- Roberto Destarac, Geological Engineer
