Travel Image of the Month Winners 2026
Ride to Amassilik, Greenland
I like the special angle in shooting this dog sledge ride bound for Amassilik, Greenland. The blue tones of the gear and the huskies blend harmoniously with the pristine, snowy white landscape, creating a cohesive winter palette. The rider’s lying posture forms a clear leading line, guiding my eye to the husky team, which then channels attention toward the distant cruise boat and the jagged mountains at the image’s edge. The sun sits high, and its starburst anchors the sky with radiant energy, adding a bright compass to the composition. Snow trails carve a path through the scene, inviting movement and depth. A compelling shot showing good sense of place. This is the winner of the month.

With thanks to Glyn Paton, this month’s adjudicator
Marylyn for a journey. Around a tiny flat, crammed with “stuff” and it’s the “stuff” that tells the story. Caged birds and animals, microwave, electric fans, plastic flowers, bikes and of course the dog! That’s just the stuff I can give a name to, there’s plenty more besides. What makes this a travel photo? Because it gives us a glimpse of another world; a snapshot into a family’s life.
Why isn’t this just too busy, too cluttered? Well it is definitely cluttered but that’s the point. We are subtly led into the picture by the flowers on the left and the bike on the right. Then we roam around the family and eventually up the stairs and out. The dog is an important element too. It’s almost a Vietnamese Martin Parr-esque portrait of family life and that’s why it’s such an excellent photo and the worthy winner this month.
Congratulations to Thomas Andy Branson
