Love the turquoise water here Gen and the airborne action! It's like each of our images has the water as a different shade with the kite surfing happening in all these different parts of the world. The Cook Islands is yet another place I'd love to visit! It's interesting how we have to adapt our photography to light that really is different in different locations.

 

Unfortunately for us Sally, Australia is a very small market. Steve has a lead on us 🙃 Oh well, he'll buy lunch 🙃

OK then, let's join the competition 😃 This was taken in Cook Islands, Polynesia. I have the blue sky and turquoise water but unfortunately, this image never licensed. The first of us who has a sale buys a lunch. Sorry Steve but you might have to come to Australia. Just might. Not saying we Aussies will win😁

 

 

 

Ok, no worries mate 🙂. I do have home advantage but you two have the turquoise seas and blue skies. If either of you  should win you’ll find I’m easily pleased. A Big Mac meal (go large) will be good enough for me. You can take the cost of that into consideration when you’re buying your flights 😎

Thank you Alexander! Same to you. I've always wanted to visit Scotland and have some Scottish ancestry. My brother lived in Edinburgh for about 6 months many years ago and loved it there. In my 20s I had hoped to maybe do a working holiday there but it never happened. I'd loved to see some of the wild places such as the inner and outer Hebrides, Orkneys and Shetlands. My Scottish ancestors emigrated from the Isle of Skye to Australia because of a famine there at the time.
