The picture above was the winning entry, coming from Les Blain, who was elated when he found out. An image from his break in Levi last year, he manages to capture a gorgeous sunset which contrasts sharply with the crisp white snow which covers the ground and the nearby trees. This picture sums up what everyone would like their skiing holiday to be.
Written in the stars
The fourth-placed entry in the competition was a little different, namely because it managed to include the Aurora Borealis, otherwise known as the Northern Lights! This natural phenomenon rarely happens, but on the edge of the Arctic Circle where this picture was taken, it’s easy to see when it does appear.
Reach for the sky
In fifth place, this image of several hot air balloons in flight is a pretty cool one, as they’re not that common in colder climes. Seeing the Alps, Pyrenees or any other iconic European mountain range by hot air balloon sounds great, but it’s just as fun to see others doing it.
