Hong Kong Ocean Park was a lot of fun when we visited in April, 2015. Not only was it lots of fun but some amazing views were to be had, too, even though it was a bit overcast. I rode the roller coaster and then took the time to snap another group having their moments of fun with those amazing views in the background. Photo: Vicki Copping -
When visiting my son in Kununurra we finally ventured - just before my flight home - to THE boab tree he promised would be fit for a photo. I took a few shots of the lone tree as the sun began to set then was asked to move by two easy going guys who were setting up for a TV shoot. As they bustled around and my son fumed at them, I smiled, steadied the camera and took this shot! Photo: Anne Robertson -
Although I have been to mainland China a couple of times I had never had the opportunity to visit the bright lights of Hong Kong until April, 2015. It really was very bright, colourful and crowded. I loved the signs especially when they were lit up at night. Photo: Vicki Copping -
Girls the world over enjoy skipping. Here in a remote village in northern Laos they make do with a vine for their game. Photo: Chris Lowry -
This photo of Lake Moraine in the Banff National Park, Canada was taken in June 2014. It was a picture perfect day with the sun quite warm, and you could really bask in the sun on the rocky surrounds, with the frozen thawing lake, snow dripped mountains, and glacier as a backdrop. It just didn’t seem real! Photo: Tony Dillon -
I met this man who was sitting sedately,when I first saw him in Times Square New York. However he came alive in front of my camera. The people in America are so friendly! Photo: Michael Hing -

The landscapes in Canyonlands National Park, Utah, USA, were breathtaking. The Island in the Sky mesa, which rests on sheer sandstone cliffs over 1,000 feet above the surrounding terrain, was particularly awe-inspiring. Every overlook provided a different perspective on the spectacular landscape. This shot was taken from the Shafer Canyon overlook. Photo: Liesel Koelmeyer -
While walking through a night market in Hoi An,Vietnam, I was drawn to a small market stall selling these beautiful and vibrantly coloured lanterns. This small corner stall lit up and illuminated the entrance to the market welcoming us as visitors to this beautiful country. Photo: Russell Dow
