Travel
"The world is a big place" - How many times have you heard this statement?
Whilst perhaps a lifetime ago this was true, the explosion in air travel over the last two decades has enabled even those on a modest budget to journey to the otherside of the world.
The images here portray a tiny aspect of other cultures and environments.
We hope this short journey will provide the armchair traveller with a small insight into the amazing place that is "Planet Earth".

THE OLDEST INDUSTRY
The Gambia is one of the poorest countries in all of Africa and its locals rely on traditional methods of industry to survive.
Here we see a local fishing boat drawn up on the wide sandy beach near Serrekunda. The fishermen take pride in their craft, lovingly painting the vessels in both bright colours and local slogans.
This is fortunate indeed for the travel photographer, as the bright colours provide a wonderful centrepiece for a midday image.
Here complementary colours have been used, and a polariser helps to further saturate the scene.
