Our team share 10 beautiful travel images they love to keep you dreaming BIG. It may even be a fitting time to start updating your adventure list.</p> <h2>Deadvlei, Namibia | By Peter Walton</h2> <p>A stark, vivid and beautifully composed image, with the clouds pulling in one direction and the shadow the other. Add the razor sharp horizon of the dunes and this iconic Namibian scene is mesmerising.</p> <p><img alt="" class="responsiveImage" cropdataid="640173" dynamiccroppedimage="1" largestloadedsize="1100" src="/croppedImages/Africa/Namibia/Deadvlei-Namibia-Africa-640173-1100px.jpg" variablesrc="/croppedImages/Africa/Namibia/Deadvlei-Namibia-Africa-640173-###width###px.jpg" /></p> <h2>Rinpung Dzong, Paro, Bhutan | By Richard I’Anson</h2> <p>Nobody captures the moment or the mood better than Richard I’Anson, who seems to have an uncanny talent for being exactly where he needs to be at any point in time.</p> <p><img alt="" class="responsiveImage" cropdataid="640174" dynamiccroppedimage="1" largestloadedsize="1100" src="/croppedImages/Indian-Sub-Continent/Bhutan/Rinpung-Dzong-Paro-Himalaya-640174-1100px.jpg" variablesrc="/croppedImages/Indian-Sub-Continent/Bhutan/Rinpung-Dzong-Paro-Himalaya-640174-###width###px.jpg" /></p> <h2>Himalayan foothills, Nepal | By Lachlan Gardiner</h2> <p>Exploratory trekking – one of our specialities – can lead to very special places. Pictured is Australian mountaineer, Tim Macartney-Snape, somewhat in awe of the rocks and the river.</p> <p><img alt="" class="responsiveImage" cropdataid="640175" dynamiccroppedimage="1" largestloadedsize="1100" src="/croppedImages/Indian-Sub-Continent/Nepal/LachlanGardiner_WestNepal_2019_DSLR01_HIGHRES-1188-640175-1100px.jpg" variablesrc="/croppedImages/Indian-Sub-Continent/Nepal/LachlanGardiner_WestNepal_2019_DSLR01_HIGHRES-1188-640175-###width###px.jpg" /></p> <h2>Larapinta, Northern Territory, Australia | By Caroline Crick</h2> <p>It’s not just a campsite picture – it’s a moment in the middle of Australia adjacent to what is perhaps the most spectacular communal lounge tent ever designed. A stunning shot, alive with energy and colour.</p> <p><img alt="" class="responsiveImage" cropdataid="640176" dynamiccroppedimage="1" largestloadedsize="1100" src="/croppedImages/Australasia/Northern-Territory/Relaxing-around-the-fire-at-Charlies-Camp-640176-1100px.jpg" variablesrc="/croppedImages/Australasia/Northern-Territory/Relaxing-around-the-fire-at-Charlies-Camp-640176-###width###px.jpg" /></p> <h2>Annapurna, Nepal | By Joe Kennedy</h2> <p>World Expeditions loyalists will recognise the recreation of our logo. It’s not a professional shot but one by a staff member. This one image conveys the passion of our staff, companionship and the core element of what we do and where we do it.</p> <p><img alt="" class="responsiveImage" cropdataid="640177" dynamiccroppedimage="1" largestloadedsize="1100" src="/croppedImages/Indian-Sub-Continent/Nepal/Annapurna-region_-Himalaya_-Nepal-640177-1100px.jpg" variablesrc="/croppedImages/Indian-Sub-Continent/Nepal/Annapurna-region_-Himalaya_-Nepal-640177-###width###px.jpg" /></p> <h2>Antarctica | By Peter Walton</h2> <p>The stillness and the serenity of one of the most isolated places on earth is dramatically captured in this photograph. It beautifully displays the subtlety, the scale and the sculptural aspects of polar travel.</p> <p><img alt="" class="responsiveImage" cropdataid="640181" dynamiccroppedimage="1" largestloadedsize="1100" src="/croppedImages/Polar-Regions/Antarctica/Antarctica-wall-of-ice-640181-1100px.jpg" variablesrc="/croppedImages/Polar-Regions/Antarctica/Antarctica-wall-of-ice-640181-###width###px.jpg" /></p> <h2>Okavango Delta, Botswana | By Peter Walton</h2> <p>Putting you right in the picture of a true wilderness experience: you are at seat-level in the mokoro on the Okavango Delta, arriving at your accommodation. This is adventure travel.</p> <p><img alt="" class="responsiveImage" cropdataid="640178" dynamiccroppedimage="1" largestloadedsize="1100" src="/croppedImages/Africa/Botswana/South-Africa_-Namibia_-Botswana-Safari-640178-1100px.jpg" variablesrc="/croppedImages/Africa/Botswana/South-Africa_-Namibia_-Botswana-Safari-640178-###width###px.jpg" /></p> <h2>Himalaya, West Nepal | By Lachlan Gardiner</h2> <p>Mountains are where World Expeditions began and they still are at the centre of what we do. This photo captures the reason that a lot of our clients travel with us – to be able to reach places they would never contemplate on their own.</p> <p><img alt="" class="responsiveImage" cropdataid="640179" dynamiccroppedimage="1" largestloadedsize="1100" src="/croppedImages/Indian-Sub-Continent/Nepal/LachlanGardiner_WestNepal_2019_DSLR02_HIGHRES-1746-640179-1100px.jpg" variablesrc="/croppedImages/Indian-Sub-Continent/Nepal/LachlanGardiner_WestNepal_2019_DSLR02_HIGHRES-1746-640179-###width###px.jpg" /></p> <h2>Africa | By Kristy Dowsing</h2> <p>There’s Kilimanjaro, there’s fascinating tribal life and there's great waterways; but most people go to Africa for the wildlife. This ‘life-in-detail’ shot captures the herd life of elephants, the toughness of their hide and the intelligence and ‘humanity’ within their eyes.</p> <p><img alt="" class="responsiveImage" cropdataid="640182" dynamiccroppedimage="1" largestloadedsize="1100" src="/croppedImages/Africa/Elephants-Africa-640182-1100px.jpg" variablesrc="/croppedImages/Africa/Elephants-Africa-640182-###width###px.jpg" /></p> <h2>Tarkine, Tasmania | By Peter Walton</h2> <p>Lush and deep into the wilderness, this photo is everything you ever wanted from a rainforest. It definitely put the Tarkine on many of our staff's ‘must do’ list.</p> <p><img alt="" class="responsiveImage" cropdataid="640180" dynamiccroppedimage="1" largestloadedsize="1100" src="/croppedImages/Australasia/Tasmania/Tarkine-Wilderness-640180-1100px.jpg" variablesrc="/croppedImages/Australasia/Tasmania/Tarkine-Wilderness-640180-###width###px.jpg" /></p> <p><strong>Have an inspiring travel photo to share?
