Travel Photographer of the Year

The winners of the coveted Travel Photographer Of The Year awards 2013.

Travel Photographer of the Year

"From the exuberance of a community festival at a mud mosque in Mali to the solitude of life ‘off the grid’ in Wales, taking in both sweeping landscapes and the minutiae of an ant colony, these stunning images have been named the winners of a world-renowned photography competition. The winners of the Travel Photographer Of The Year awards, which were announced, give both armchair travellers and seasoned explorers a glimpse of the magnificence, beauty and poignancy of this planet and its inhabitants. This vibrant, entertaining and sometimes thought-provoking selection, taking in both places that many of us will never travel to and familiar destinations, were captured by the hugely talented amateur and professional photographers who beat entrants from nearly 100 countries."
