travel photography – Page 2 – Footloose Forever

As I follow Voyager for life – Renuka’s Blog I received email notification of her new blog post yesterday. It was on Thomas Cook Explore the Elements Photo Contest. As soon as I saw her post on the same I felt the urge to take part in this wonderful travel photoblogging contest. The contest is about submitting at least one photograph representing each of the basic elements of the world – Earth, Water, Fire and Air. You can visit the link for more details of the contest – Explore The Elements.

Following are my entries for the contest:

Earth

Represents the hard, solid objects of the earth associated with stubbornness, collectiveness, physicality and gravity.
