2007

Last year, we asked you to send in photographs on the theme of

“where do you
connect
with nature?”

We received hundred’s of entries, your response was unprecedented.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to send in photographs. It was a privilege to share your interpretations of where you feel connected with nature – we know from trying ourselves, that it can be difficult to take photographs which convey the “feeling” of why a certain place is special. And getting all those technical things right if you’re using a SLR is not easy!

These are the top 30 >>>
