We have a winner! Thank you so much to everyone who entered round #47 of Photo Travel Roulette with our theme ‘Excellent Splendour of the Universe’. We’ve really enjoyed hosting it and seeing all the entries come in. There were some brilliant submissions and it was a tricky decision. Counting down from five, these were our favourites.

#5 We love this moody photo from Flashpack at Forty

#4. Wanderlass submitted a stunning photo from Bolivia.

#3. This  joyous image from The Travel Hack was a frontrunner.

#2. And we adore this beautiful mallard duck from Travel with Kat.

#1. But our chosen winner is this awesome picture from David and Veronica at  The Gypsy Nesters.

It made us smile instantly and captures a priceless moment that definitely screams ‘Excellent Splendour of the Universe’. The expressions on the mens’ faces is amazing. As The Gypsy Nesters said: “This is one of my favorite shots! The animals are so friendly in the Galapagos, including when in flight – the expressions on these guys’ faces are priceless as this frigate comes in for a closer look. I think I was the only one who remembered I had a camera!”

Congratulations and we can’t wait to see what you choose as your theme next week.
