Travel Photographer Of The Year 2015 – IV by MarselvanOosten

Four days ago I won the overall title Travel Photographer Of The Year 2015 with two black and white portfolios – a landscape portfolio and a wildlife portfolio. Here’s the last image from the landscape portfolio.

All four images were shot from a kayak or while standing in the water, on a scouting trip last year in the swamps of Louisiana – off the beaten tracks, and far away from all the usual photographic hot spots. This is surely one of the most magical places on this planet.

In short: two years ago we decided to check out the swamps in Louisiana and Texas to see if we could set up the world’s first Cypress Swamp photo tour there. Last month we returned from our second scouting trip to this amazing place, where we searched for additional locations, finalized the accommodation, and fine tuned the logistics.

We will officially announce the new trip somewhere next week. As usual, we will first contact our most frequent flyers to give them first choice, but after that we’ll open the tours for the rest of you as well.

Special thanks to Daniella for her help setting up these shots.

Come Play by DebbieTubridy

As with all young, polar bear cubs couldn’t be more adorable. They’re so curious and inquisitive and clumsy as they roll around in the snow … kicking their legs, tossing up in the air whatever they can find. Like our own children, it doesn’t take a fancy toy to entertain these guys. 🙂

I couldn’t wait until they take a pencil into their hands and start drawing. I loved drawing and painting (until I had to do it every day) my husband used to draw too (I have his drawing framed on my wall at work). I waited until my boys are old enough to try but I can’t really tell if they will like it as their parents.
