2018 Photo Contest Winners: Travel Advisors

“On safari early one morning, these zebras were drinking from the lake. Suddenly, they started to run as the sun rose, and the reflection across the water was beautiful.”

“We were lucky enough to meet and photograph two lovely prima ballerinas from the Cuban National Ballet. We spent an incredible morning in a beauti-ful, pre-Castro house and got to know these talented ladies.”

“The major attraction of the Maldives is the marine life below the surface, but the second most popular is seeing these tiny islands from the air. Most only get a glimpse of this view during a seaplane ride, but when you have a drone, anything is possible."

“I love the Milwaukee Art Museum’s architecture and design by Santiago Calatrava. When open, the cantilevered roof lets in light and lakefront views.”

“Gorillas share approximately 98 percent of our DNA, and there’s a soulful connection in their eyes. Following a several-hour trek to the Sabyinyo group of mountain gorillas, I took this photo on the border of a bamboo forest.”

“Any tour of Inle Lake should include a visit by longboat to the small villages at its edges. Each practices its own craft; in one vil-lage, we visited a shop that special-izes in silk thread weavings. These vibrantly colored spools caught my eye and my imagination.”

“I took this photo at midnight, after waiting two hours for the clouds to disappear. The splendid scene of the Milky Way appeared just like this.”

“It rained the entire time my husband and I were at Okto-berfest, but it didn’t matter. We took a Ferris wheel ride to get a better view, and we were not disappointed!”
